Ike, Hopefully all the poison has dripped from you're pen, and I will ask again for insight into you're trading philosophy. Possibly I presented my first post as being uneducated regarding the markets. I have aquired a masters in finance, and have played the markets in and out for 16 years. My first major take in 1992, I quit my job and started a business which thrives today. The financial markets call again because of pure facination with the nose bleed heights of the american markets. Have fundamental and technical signal calculations been reprogramed? Why are markets which traditionally had p/e's of 15 - 19, now trade 28-34? In ypu're response to my previous post to you, you touched on an area that was the reason for my post. That of non-numeric interjections into models, ie. the human animal aspect. For the last few years I have been playing with a model that test these theroies. I subscribe to the school that any model that you can buy, or that is published on the internet is automatically discounted -- if everybody can use it, it's not unique, and therefor no advantage! There are subtle tips all around which makes one comtemplate, external forces which dictate human action,mass mentality. The power of sugestion, komakossi pilots, sporting events gone arye, hospital e.r. roms during full moons. 95% of the model is published or priority mathematic fundamentals the 5% is the real work. WE just had a solar eclipse, coupled with the comming of a full moon. this will effect mood, sense of well being. what exactly causes the build to panic, that mentality to follow a crowd, loss of control. I was just asking if any of these factors played into you're investment philosophy? Best Regards JDinBaltimore
