PC, You didn't read the entire series of notes. I said you were right regularly after the fact. It is only when you make sweeping statements before they happen that you are always wrong, and then, mainly on the indices.

You might consider a basic psychological principal called "projection." People with neurotic anxieties tend to project those anxieties onto other people: an obsessively suspicious person usually feels that others are suspicious of him. Consider the case of an obsessively optimistic person who uses illogic and his own short-term experience to justify his pie-in-the-sky optimism. He then insists that others who point out the unrealistic nature of his beliefs are mental cases whose minds are "twisting the view on facts." Maybe he would consider putting a hold on the psycho-babble. /BSG
