Are financial crashes predictable?

Abstract

We critically review recent claims that financial crashes can be predicted using the idea of log-periodic oscillations or by other methods inspired by the physics of critical phenomena. In particular, the October 1997 "correction" does not appear to be the accumulation point of a geometric series of local minima.
