Sir or Madam, as the case may be... I, for one, am very impressed with the information you have posted. Your recent call of the impending fall in Corel was excellent. It seems to me that your posts include details to support the comments you make. It would be a blessing if others would do the same. Also, your response to the slasher who attacked you was very nicely measured. Thanks for the information you have given us (or, at least, me). I doubt that anyone can make 100% accurate stock price forecasts, and I'm not dumb enough to expect it. Fred

Dear tech.. I apologize for my jibes, they were unwarranted. Yesterday was not a good day for me. This is not an adequate excuse, but it was quite a letdown after several very good days before Christmas. Today is a new day, and I hope we can move on. As far as CORL goes, I think your current analysis is right on the money. Too early to tell the final outcome.

Technical Indicators Technical indicators indicate innumeracy, that is, a total ignorance of simple mathematics. Not surprisingly, nobody, but nobody, has ever developed a scheme that produces any result greater than chance. Now, the little industry that surrounds these idiotic schemes is equipped with a list of individual anecdotes to support their idiotic claims and keep sales of technical trading products flowing. Now, those who really understand mathematical equations of the sort that model market motion (nonlinear differentials) do understand this. There are general trends but once those trends are identified they are self-correcting. So even if you could create a dynamic system of equations with future predictability, it would be totally unstable because of the actions of those buying or selling on that information. In fact, we ought to put together a link of facts about bogus technical trading so that you don't get sucked in by those who happen to be on the winning side of their 50/50 chance.
