About William Peter Hamilton

William Peter Hamilton, a proponent of Dow Theory, was the fourth editor of the Wall Street Journal, serving in that capacity for more than 20 years."Some people think and others do. Dow thought and created an index and pondered it. Hamilton [by contrast,] put it to practice as a workhorse. He was the first serious practitioner of [both] the art of forecasting future stock action based on precise prior action [and the] forecasting of the economy based on the market."
