Mta Journal

A few weeks ago I found out that the MTA, had posted its past issue Journal online. http://www.mta.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?webcode=journal I went through the issues and classified the articles, so they could be studied in an organised fashion. Please find attached my first attempt in hope that this will prove of some use.

kindest regards Alex Spiroglou http://www.linkedin.com/in/alexspiroglou http://www.traderdaily.com/column/10/index.html

P.S. Some housekeeping notes: 1. This is not finalised (I will go through them again as time permits). This means that errors will be corrected, and the process will be refined. 2. Some articles were classified in 2 categories at the same time. 3. You may or may not agree with the classification criteria.
