Well, I'm sure that your posts will accumulate quickly now that you are only posting with one alias. I don't know what part of the country you live in, but here on the West Coast, I get my new daily allotment of posts at 9PM PDT...Ten per day is nice, but I am still thinking of subscribing to get all the perks.

Queen One of the problems I see with timing models and technical analysis is that they can not predict unforeseen events. Whatever Brinker used to decide there would be a countertrend rally could not have foreseen what was about to transpire in the November 2000 presidential election. Louie Navellier claims that it caused foreign investors to engage in massive selling of US equities. This put massive downward pressure on the market. I wonder if any successful hedge fund managers were looking to make money in a countertrend rally at that point in time. I would suspect that most of them would be waiting for such a rally and then short into it.
