Darline, I just sent this e-mail to someone recently aware of the thread who is from where I held my most recent seminar (I hate it when that happens). I've been to Orlando but I like Florida a lot so I'd really like to have one there again sometime: I held a seminar in Minneapolis on 11/13/99. If I hadn't been there so recently, I would have been able to consider a class for this year there. The seminars are put together on an ad hoc-like basis. When the demand for a seminar in any particular area becomes feasible enough that I will at least not lose money holding one, I begin "advertising" it on SI. SI is the only forum on which I participate. It would take up WAY too much of my time to participate in more than one place on the internet. Since demand is a tricky thing to gauge on this medium, I only plan 1 seminar at a time. The first 11 I held were spaced about 2 months apart, from Nov '97 to Nov '99. Atlantic City will be the first I've done since Nov. (Whew...I needed a break :-) The time consideration is one factor that spurred the seminars into existence. Formalizing it is a way to ensure that those in attendance are serious about learning TA. In this way I can better concentrate my time into a more focused and meaningful discussion of "what stocks do". As I've studied price and technical activity across a broad range of the market, I have found categories and subcategories of activities that can be applied to a better understanding of the supply/demand dynamic in terms of trading. Since a large part of what I've found is entirely original, I had to develop a descriptive "language" for it. During the seminar I walk through nearly my entire repertoire of technical tools and teach the "language" as I go. The manual for the seminar and the presentation are tightly coordinated. Expect to refer to the manual often afterward and expect to take a lot of notes as questions are asked during class. There will be at least 10 former attendees and they ask really great questions. Most of the best from the thread will be there so I won't be the only one answering questions. I'm very psyched for it. As more people are able to communicate the behaviors of stocks that I outline, the more shared understanding develops. Along with the cooperation among most "56ers" comes a wider radar screen that allows any 56er to make a better informed decision as to the potential of a stock as it would fit any particular overall plan. All it takes is to know how to recognize what any given stock is doing by analyzing the price and technical activity. Most of it is quite easy once you know how. Sheesh...I must be trying to write a book intro or something here...lol. Anyway, Hope to see you there, Doug
