Well guys, I can't stand to watch it anymore. I am going to go have some pie -- maybe a whole pie. Keep the longer term in mind. Don't worry, be happy.

Hank, I still think that reliance on T/A is akin to throwing salt over one's shoulder. As to FA, we need to clarify. Are you talking about financial analyisis, or fundamental analysis? Financial analysis is a very potent tool for understanding the dynamics of a business. It will also tell you a lot about the mind set of management. It's major use is to weed out financially weak companies from consideration as investment vehicles. It will not predict the future. Fundamental analyis is significantly broader in scope because it subsumes forecasting both industry-wide trends, and company-specific performance. The more specific it becomes, the worse it's performance becomes. And it's ability to predict the stock market is horrible! I'm beginning to feel as if I'm the only one on this thread who follows MPT, and I'm getting lonely! Regards, Paul
