Are you really thinking that people here are following astrology, and if they are, that they actually care about what you might think about astrology? From what I see, people here are following all sorts of TA and also FA. Most of it tends to be of the PnF or basic TA variety (bar/candlestick charts with superimposed bands, stochastics, rsi, macd etc) -- I haven't seen anyone really talk about much exotic TA with astrology involved. Yes, Carpino may follow cycles -- astrological entities follow cycles, but hell, so do the Presidential elections and it is a well known fact that markets tend to follow a 4 year cycle. Markets also tend to follow seasonal cycles which have more to do with entities listed in astrology 101 books than entities listed in your basic finance/accounting 101 books. Your obsession with astrology is getting old . . . if you don't like the fund, bet against them. And rah-rah your picks against them. We'll be happy to watch your success/failure going against the Astrologers Fund. But realize, most probably the fund does no better or worse than any other average fund (I have not looked at its history). After all, most funds do no better than an average monkey picking stocks off the Wall Street Journal stock pages (there may be some exceptional monkeys that do better, that's why I picked the average monkey). That's the reason why most of us do our own money management. -A
