Technical Analysis Seminar, I am a Schwab "Platinum" member and sometimes they invite me to various things - listen to Charles himself speak in person, etc.. I was invited to attend an "advanced" TA seminar next week in Fremont, CA. Said it is being put on by some foremost expert, blah! blah! As an aside, usually when I go to these Schwab things I tend to enjoy myself, and sometimes even learn something. The guy asked me if I would like to invite anyone, so I thought of the HTP thread. I am extending an invitation to those of you in the Bay Area who may also be interested to join me at this TA seminar. Sounds as if I could have up to 2 guests. It's next Wednesday at 6pm for 3 hours. And it's free. PM me if you are interested. Warp

I started looking for good short candidates then, but was not in a hurry. Next week by Tuesday it was obvious we were in a drop, and I shorted a few and stayed up till midnoght looking for other shorts. Note that I am using 100 day moving average. 50 day moving average generates another signal from the end of January. If you plug in a 50 day moving average, you will get a 'false' signal. However I think a few stock traded sideways from the end of January and other 'favored' stocks ran far ahead, draggin the averages up. Considering how fast some stocks dropped, taking that early yor false signal in late January cold have been a good deal. MACD is a well know signal but a little hard to interpet. It's a favorite of Chris Manning, who teaches technical analysis at various seminars. Chris is a pretty good technician, but an EXCELLENT teacher - so I remeber more stuff from his lectures a year later than I do 2 weeks later from other technical seminars. On a cost for retained knownledge basis, it's a pretty good deal. I want to try to find the andvance/decline for Naz...
