To: Doug R who wrote (37775 ) 12/14/2000 1:11:55 AM From: Doug R Respond to of 79450 To all; March still seems like a long ways away yet. Seems like it to me anyway. Even so, I plan to present a Charts With an Attitude seminar on the 2nd weekend of March at the Hilton in Arlington Texas. I am prompted now to mention this here because I received a correspondence from an attendee of the Richmond class. I have to say that I was disappointed in the attendance there but it's quite obvious that market conditions this year would dictate a slowdown in the numbers of aspiring individuals who desire to learn critical aspects of supply/demand dynamics that result in profitability. There is one thing that I can point out here in relation to this year...avoiding losses, at any given time in the market, is the ONE goal that serves best . On that note...here is the main body of the email I received, "...you know, for the last several days now, my accuracy has been nearly 100%. I've told my wife it's because I have set the bar VERY high...extremely few false positives, but it's first of all because I have a great teacher. Thanks for Richmond...thanks for being available...and thanks in advance for Dallas!!! " Well...he got the Dallas part wrong but hey...at least he has found a handle on the market. I'm going to go out on a privacy limb here also... the author of the above correspondence is a PhD at Ohio State. A very smart guy IMO. Now, I'm not saying that it takes a very smart person to understand what I teach. Just think of all the PhDs that you know and ask yourself, "Would I let that guy invest my money for me?" Ok, ok...so you would have your doubts. But if I can teach a PhD to understand the market well enough that even his wife would listen to him... Very tuned for the Arlington class. Thanks for the note Jim Doug R
