Jim thank you, I liked that one: "However, if you instead missed the 30 worst months over that period, your total return would be in excess of $1.8 million!!! To show the proper scale, the "red" bar would have to be 16-times taller than shown on your computer screen. All of which goes to prove that such mathematical "studies" are really just a nonsensical fudging with numbers... and investors' emotions." Is that like saying but if you buy low and sell high..... :-)) I am not against TA but I went into amati, for example, when it was screaming sell on all charts and it doubled within couple of months and I bought amd few years back when it dropped to single digits and also was a screaming sell. I went into a number of companies that were a screaming buy and it is too painful to talk abot those..... :-)) But the best thing about confidence of ta experts is an ad for ta system for "only" around 40K that I saw few years back. It was said to be the greatest thing since sliced bread and supposed to be developed by best of the best. Not only they sell you a system but you also get guarantee that if you would not double your money based on recommendations within 10 years they would refund your money. hey, sounds like a great deal: 1) if it is best of the best then invest your money 2) 2x in 10years is only ~7% annually 3) they keep interest if you loose = 40,000 4) would you find them in 10 years to claim the refund?
