Hi Patrick --- hope that you had a good weekend

I had a very pleasant and relaxing weekend

>>No offense intended

No offense taken.

The Arch Crawford comment was because I happened to be listening to him at the point when I posted that message. No, I don't have any belief in astrology or the like. Crawford learned his technical stuff from Bob Farrell--the astrology bit is a combination of sincere belief and PR, to get some publicity, IMO.

But that is not to say that I am averse to having a little fun as long as it is harmless. Some years ago when the company I worked for was sold, as part of the farewell party that was organized, a tarot card reader was retained--and given that everyone was going to be out of a job, there seemed to be a considerable demand for her services by all and sundry. She did her thing with me and came up with this incredibly rosy forecast for my future, which included the fact that I was unlikely to ever work in a corporate enviroment again--which was remarkably prescient given that even I did not know that it was the the direction that I was going to be headed--let alone the fact that I was in active negotiations with more than one prospective employer at the time. She also said that I would never be wanting again financially for the rest of my life -- which of course remains to be seen. Said some other nice things -- did not say anything negative, which I assumed was just good politics.

>>BTW, I have to copy you on an arrogant post I received the other night. I hate these "Post and Run" Jokers who slam me and then walk away.<<

I read the one that you were referring to--and I can understand why you were upset. If it is any consolation, I get hit once in a while with this crap--but more often than not it really does not faze me.

Re the market--looks like I am going to be slammed tomorrow on a short trade, unless the market does a complete U turn, in sort order -- which seems unlikely.

I'll chat with you tomorrow.
