I think my wife would agree with you on the general broad stoke of the Retrograde implication....that is, that pressure would be placed on markets in times of Jup Retrograde. She is not home at the moment, so I cannot ask. Her main bugaboo is Mercury Retrograde. That one bothers her a lot....something to do with business decisions. There is a fellow in Naples, Florida, who I used to correspond with. He was an astro-trader par excellance. His name is Norman Winski; he trades purely off astro. A book I read about supertraders once had him as making a million or so in a year on the CBOE Floor starting with perhaps 10K of capital. The book was published rather too soon; I believe that he lost it all a few months later. So I suspect it's a bit like any other system; one slip-up and you are cooked. He is doing fine now however, last I heard anyway. I've been a bit ill, myself, and relying on Neural Nets to guide me these days. Some pressing family business also has my mind off daytrading, lost a brother this weekend. vandermay.com Seems this isn't my year; next time a Millennium hits I'm definitely going to skip it. So how are you making out? Long time, no hear from. Hope the family is well. I understand that you and I would be happy to trade weather this year....been raining like crazy in Jersey. Have not heard from Andrew; perhaps his business is taking off and time is short. Have not heard from many from the Stock Swap days, actually, except for Scott and the occasional message here and there. Well, I imagine that with your schedule it may be another few months before you check in for this message so be well. Perhaps by then you shall have an astro-chart to post. It would seem it should not be difficult to plot. Perhaps using a weekly chart would be the best manner in which to illustrate it. See you, hopefully sooner than later.
