I have nothing against TA. My statement was that in an environment like this I don't see how anyone can view TA as really reliable. TA was invented when we actually enjoyed some degree of free enterprise. Now is just the product of the goverpporate need to feed the power elite. If you add a packet of sugar to batch of beer every day you get a lot of froth, and one might be tempted to say that everything is working just fine. But sooner or later you can not add any more and doing so makes the whole brew toxic. At the rates that the government is adding cash it looks just like that batch of beer. You can play the marginal game with TA and I'm sure you will find some value in it. The machines use it. But these are not markets anymore. Its just a giant Casino and they are giving money away to the whales as they come in the door.

BRADLEY MODEL PEAK APPROACHES The high for this year in the Bradley Model occurs on June 7, after which the remainder of the year is anticipated to be trending lower as planetary aspect power recedes. Donald Bradley wrote *Stock Market Prediction* in 1947 which documents a methodology for combining the aspect power of 2-planet pairs for projecting trends into the future. All but 2 of the input data are Geocentric Longitude differentials. It does NOT include Lunar Cycles or Eclipses, declinations (north/south positional data) except for Mars & Venus, or Heliocentric positions. It is accurate often enough that one MUST be familiar with it and keep an eye on it, but can be erratic or useless under influences not included or when there are major multi-planet configurations which become unique events not easily codified or standardized. In years when it is accurate, it is often amazinly so, calling some important tops and bottoms TO THE DAY! As with all methodologies, backup confirmation by standard technical data output means is always appropriate. A foolish trade on a favorable planetary aspect is still a foolish act, and A fool and his money are soon parted! We also believe that money management and risk management are as important as market prediction in the overall investment milieu.
