Hi Jorge, It's really great to hear from you! I fondly remember the times that I drove out to your House. I remember the time I took the top off of the Corvette and brought Stephen Hains out to visit. We played some tennis on your court and I got a heck of a sunburn. Still "waving"? I caught on to it big time. Actually forecasted the whole 2000 melee at a CTA meeting day I recall how you were initially skeptical of technical Analysis and Elliot Wave, but then became quite a technician -g- My Friend Robert Colby, who had been the Number two technician at Smith Barney at the time(working for Alan Shaw; co-working with Louise Yamada) told me he was at the Market Technicians Association meeting in New York where you presented a very good report and forecast of Fibonacci relationships in the DJIA. I was always amazed at how you were running the medium term FX book at Chase almost single handedly. Interest rate differential and swaps spreads are so very important to the financial underpinnings of the markets. ..........and to answer your question I still use Elliott Wave and a number of technical and cyclical tools with the markets. I've become more and more interested in the nuts and bolts of fundamentals and things like accounting concepts such as the timing differences between deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities... especially when a company is hiding earnings through accruals, and then when they start reversing earnings back out through their GAPP books etc. Michael must be off at college now! say hi to him and tching. my best, John
