I'd be real upset if I had been sitting on the sidelines waiting for my secret black box indicator (or guru who has one) to say "Buy Now, Buy Now, Buy Now" -- and it hadn't!

Maybe you are their SI Guru...and your P&F is your black box...<g>


Excellent point.

Many of you have developed your own TA to follow that serves you well. Then, there are many of us like me, who have none. While you could just use your TA indicators exclusively for personal trading/ investing, you instead choose to share it with others like me so that we can also try to avoid selling the bottoms and buying the tops . Thus, I am very thankful for contributions by Donald, Eric, Bobby, Lee, SO, James H. (who's probably in the hospital now so can't see this), Judy and on, and on.

Twenty+ years ago in the very early days of PCs, I remember a precocious student (I'm in education) asking me if I wrote my own programs or was I a "Bum" (someone who couldn't/didn't write programs and thus used those written by others).

Well, I was a "Bum". In today's world we have become known as "Lurkers". As the "Bums" were grateful to the software writers of the 70's, the "Lurkers" are thankful to the TA analysts of the 90's.

And, all is not hopeless, for over the years as I have indeed learned to configure software into programs used by others, so too might I learn to use TA to the degree that I can contribute to others.

Until then, thanx from Lurker Marc for the contributions of the experts to this thread.
