Interview: The Nature Of The Market Is Change: Bruce Kamich by Thom Hartle

The Nature Of The Market Is Change: Bruce Kamich Technicians follow numerous markets, and some specialize in specific areas, such as equities or fixed income. With the Treasury bond yields recently hitting lows that were unthinkable by most only a few years ago, we thought that talking to a specialist in this area would be apropos. Meet Bruce Kamich, who is senior vice president for research, development and management of the electronic financial information service MoneyWatch for McCarthy, Crisanti & Maffei, and currently, he’s on the board for the Market Technicians Educational Foundation. STOCKS & COMMODITIES Editor Thom Hartle called Kamich on October 14, 1998, and asked him about some of his favorite indicators, including the last-half-hour index, secondaries, and the confidence index, and how he views the coming century and the changes it will bring. Human psychology will always be the same. Greed and fear are still going to operate in the same way they always have. We just have to determine different ways to measure it. — Bruce Kamich
