lol.. charts.

it's certainly not what i claim to know, but it is what i have not been focusing on for the last 5 months.

I'll still call it a hobby until i can start being right about my calls over 60% of the time. For now, i still need to look for confirmation, and ask for guidance. As an old stat man, it should become my strength... but i have found in my life, i learn the most as soon as i admit the all that i do not know, and start listening.

Give it another six months, and maybe i'll have some conviction behind my interpretations of charts.

At least it makes the market more entertaining for now.

:^)

Good show Dave, you definitely did put yourself in the way of good luck, now it's your turn to be embarrassed by Al posting to you all the time -g- ... interesting that Francisco was another CC pick like the Richmont that put me ahead in January ... he's the most bookmarked poster from SI resource threads, btw, and for good reason imho - #reply-17136890

martin is right, 'invest in what you know' ... that's what kept me out of tech mostly over the last few years, ignorance of the whole sector, missed most of the big runup but missed most of the big tankola as well, c'est la vie ... actually though, next time around [there should be some sort of tech bull in three to eight years imho] i resolve to look into them more closely, as actually good/bad business is good/bad business no matter the sector, a stock promotion is a stock promotion no matter the sector, a chart is a chart
