General George S. Patton was a profoundly successful World War II general who depended on the lamp of history to make crucial wartime decisions.

In the heat of his greatest battles, Patton displayed an uncanny ability to anticipate, outmaneuver and outsmart the enemy. Each of his victorious military campaigns was the result of superior decision-making, which Patton himself credited to his intimate knowledge of history.

The decision-making process during a battle is perhaps the best metaphor for the challenges we face in the investment arena. In fact, the term “market campaign” entered the lexicon of Wall Street due to the parallels between trading and warfare (”military campaign”).

Every day, battles rage between determined investors and traders as they attempt to time market turns. And perhaps the greatest battle involves wrestling with one’s own emotions. This is the crucial time when desires, fears and hopes must be controlled, and a reliable source of wisdom is needed to guide critical decisions.

History provides solid guidelines for when to enter a market, based on what the market has done in the past, and how to determine when it is overbought or oversold.
