I have studied financial markets obsessively for over 5 years. Just passed the level 1 chartered market technician exam this past spring.

For the average investor looking to make above average returns I would say CANSLIM is the best methodology out there.
You can learn it at http://investors.com/education , or the book is "How To Make Money In Stocks".

This methodology was developed by researching what winning stocks had in common before making a big advance.
Check out the reviews on Amazon about this book to get a good overview.

I believe anyone can learn this system but only if you are willing to put in the study time required.
There are even Meetup.com groups which help teach this methodology.
