Such systems as Canadian Marketwatch, urled in my last post, do, follow insider trading. When a stock is going to make a move, who do you think trades into it to profit take? Total strangers? Go on! You can see the pros picking up stock, IF you scan the market and follow each stock's one year hi-lo history. If you think you can do this without following indicators by database on technicals or get it from your quote service, broker or newspaper, you are dreaming. Anyone trading these days should realize that all tha brokers do is dump the paper that they are front running, underwriting, or are being paid to promote. Add in the paper that they bought on spec that is going down as they are selling it, and you have your brokers. All honourable men. But why buy their BMW's for them? Trade your own stock. I challenge anyone here to follow the system on paper for six months and tell me that it does not pick winners, if you put in some of your own sagacious consideration of the stock's worth. I am in no way connected with the site, although I do know its owner. canadianmarketwatch.com Here is another way of looking at cycle for this who have enough computer. You need at least 256K ram. 512 is better, although it will work with 200 points in 564 to 128K. This type of Fourier transform is unique in that it does not require "multiple of two" number of data points such as 128, 256, or 512, you can do it with any odd number, and it is fast. fftw.org There are other commercial fast fourier predictors that combine monte carlo methods to project and are fairly accurate if you have enough data and know reasonably what formulas are affecting your data. PM me for these. EC<:-}

Speaking of insider trading it seems my old buddies First Delta Securities, a struggling Broker Dealer in old TO has to close its doors. Seems that they failed to supervise one of their brokers quite close enough. He was taking orders on trades to drive some paper of little substance for somebodies boiler room and that is a no-no. You just can't create markets these days like you used to. Never could get those guys to back on honest deal. Perhaps they just don't make enough money. I will admit honest deals can be scary. Seems like nobody understands them. If it ain't Enron it won't play. Seems like the OSC is closing all the buckets shops down. Marchment McKay, a widow and Ophan bilker par excellence, went the way of all flesh. All well and good, but where do we find slick paper pedlars to dump the dubious paper of the little guy? After all, its all crap. Without widows and orphan's inheritances to burn, these business will never get off the ground. There ain't no sure thing, all the clearly criminal enterprise notwithstanding. (sigh) EC<:-}
