Följderna av narkotikamissbruk kostar samhället stora summor pengar varje år. Att beräkna den exakta storleken på dessa summor är omöjligt, eftersom stora delar av den narkotikarelaterade verksamheten är olaglig. De kostnadsberäkningar man kan göra blir ungefärliga uppskattningar. Ändå är det viktigt att försöka, eftersom den kunskap man har om kostnaderna för narkotikamissbrukets konsekvenser utg

Denna uppsats har till syfte att undersöka huruvida det, med hjälp av teknisk analys, föreligger större möjlighet att skapa lönsamma handelsstrategier för index än för enskilda aktier. Vi kommer även att belysa hur god avkastning sådana strategier kan generera i förhållande till en jämförelsestrategi där man köper och håller tillgången under hela perioden. Handelsstrategier baserade på dubbla löpa
