Jim and all, how good is TA in predicting market downturns? If Q remains above $150 on Jan 21 I will have more money than I have ever had in my life, thanks mainly to the many folks on this and other threads who have taught me many, many things. (and I still have plenty more to learn) But my Achilles heel is a steep correction just before any month's expiry. You said "this is a time to take risk, IMO" - but I cannot get out of my mind how to make myself comfortable with that notion. I feel that because of a lack of market sense or an inability to interpret some of the TA which is out there (very little of which I understand) I will not see the train coming which will roll over me. What indicators do you use to predict such corrections, and how effective have they been? Thanks for your many posts, which I read with great interest. Jeff Smith
