haim: "The human never ending desire to predict the future and his fortunes." Ironic post for you to put on the "Market Direction Analysis" board :)

Haim, IMO, it's not about predicting the future. It's about correlating mass market behavioral patterns. People, apparently, and reproducibly, buy in with a preconceived notion and then behave in a certain way (usually not in a favorable manner), when the price does not cooperate with their preconceived notion. For instance, instead of selling when a stock moves against someone 10% they think, I'll just sit through that, again at 20%, well 30% is a time to play double down, 40% is sweating time, now 50% (fib #) I've had with this POS!
