Thomas, I have yet to see a good compelling case for a theory that works through known history, through bubble, through bust, and which continues to give me clear guidence today. You and I are agreeing far too much lately. :) I agree and I don't think anyone will ever find one that works so pervasively. Probably the single biggest reason I believe in LTB&H is because I don't think there is a model that works in all situations. Because no situation holds forever, LTB&Hing allows the investor the necessary time to ride out the periods when a particular model or models don't work. --Mike Buckley

Thomas: Are they still in the same ground they were driven into Absolutely. No method has been presented (that I have seen) which was purported to eliminate fluctuations to the downside. it seems that one of the problems we have had here is that theories have been offered ... and that is what you are talking about, theories Methods. Not theories. I have yet to see a good compelling case for a theory that works through known history, through bubble, through bust, and which continues to give me clear guidence today. No method will give a perfect result. They will all give decidedly imperfect results. So? The same holds true for our qualitative methods, yet nobody on this thread has argued for taking up indexing. Very weak eyes are still better than total blindness. - Pirah
