The concept of Point and Figure (P&F) Analysis is well articulated by Tom Dorsey, author of Point and Figure Charting, "The premise of Point & Figure charting is to provide a logical, organized and sensible way of recording the supply and demand relationship in any particular security or sector. When it is all said and done, if there are more buyers in a particular security than there are sellers willing to sell, the price will rise. On the other hand, if there are more sellers in a particular security than there are buyers willing to buy, then the price will decline. If buying and selling are equal, the price will remain the same. This is the irrefutable law of supply and demand. The same reasons that cause price fluctuations in produce such as potatoes, corn and asparagus cause price fluctuations in securities.”
