Good morning, Ray: I want to wish you the best of luck with your charts Luck is not a factor. ... I take comfort that I won't have to read your fantasy posts here much longer. You can always put me on Ignore, Ray. Why haven't you? And perhaps you realize, though maybe not, that when you "run your charts", that scoundrels like Purcell hire armies of scoundrels to run the same charts and figure out how to wipe out the enemy, i.e. the retail investor like you. I expect nothing less. I trade to make money, and so do they. Don't you get a wee bit peeved that you have to trade against a criminal conspiracy called Wall Street, with all the insider advantages on their side? Nope. It's fun. When the QQQ dropped below its declining 200 dma and broke support at 72 in November 2000, I shorted everything I could find. When the QQQ 50 dma turned up last November, I covered and sat in cash. When the QQQ formed a double bottom over a rising 50 dma two weeks ago, I went long. I've done OK against the "criminal conspiracy." Or, are you an insider, here on SI to try to convince honest people that all of Wall Street hasn't simply become a bucket shop? No, I am not a Wall Street insider. I'm just a working stiff who knows that Social Security may not be around when I retire and that the rigid rules of supply and demand are shown in chart patterns. I read a couple of books, I met a guy who knows TA, and I paper-traded before I risked a dime to learn the rules. You seem to be a Socialist, Ray, and that disappoints me. The US is the greatest country on earth, and the thing that made us great (and keeps us great) is our rejection of Socialism. Are you an investor, Ray? If you want, PM me and I'll send you a list of books and websites that will make you a better trader. Good Luck!
