Tom,
I've thought long and hard on what you posted, and absolutely agree with the enormous contribution you and DWA (and Jan, in particular) have made by way of education, hand holding, and sharing in your wealth of XO and market analyses. Count me as one very satisfied student and customer who has derived much. I now have acquired a modicum of XO discipline to guide me in those moments of panic and euphoria that are visited on us periodically. And have profited thereby, and, more importantly, now sleep better at night knowing that my buy/sell/hold decisions are made on sounder basis.
That others may be copying your presentation of the XO art should be flattering, IMO. It gives yet more evidence that the education by DWA has taken root. Though I do find some competitors' presentations compelling, for example percent charts and RS relative to any index or stock are innovative and worthwhile. User defined scaling and reversal criteria are nice to have on occasion. I still like DWA for dependability and analysis, education, hand-holding, etc., but there is room for the others too, especially if they're free of charge. It would be nice to have these features included as part of the basic DWA service, for us in the cheap seats. :-).
Regards,
