With all due respect Cheeky, do you think some one who consistently wins at Black Jack is just lucky?

Cheeky,

I agree with you that astrology is total BS. But ..... that does not mean it cannot be used successfully to time the market.

Whaaaaatttt???? you ask.

Here's why. If some substantial number of investors use astrology to time their market behavior, and if success in market timing is really nothing more than predicting short term future behavior by market participants, then why wouldn't you want to use astrology to help you determine where the cattle will stampede next?

If everybody else used a system based on the weather in Wisconsin, I'd be downloading forecasts from Madison and Milwaukee right now.

I believe that I can put together an argument that would show that using extraterrestrial bodies (sun, moon, planets, stars) to predict behavior is not only *not* absurd, but completely accepted as common knowledge. So let's start with a baseline:
1. Is it your assertion that ET bodies do not influence human behavior?

Not looking for a long explanation, just yes or no.
