I thought we agree on most...and I believe we do, but can't agree on everything.. When I agree there is no reason to respond but when I want to shed a different light on something I sometimes do, so it may seem to you or others that our differences are irrevocable, I don't think that is true..I usually take a protective roll for those newer individuals that have just figured how to find the RSI crossing above 80 and they figure they have a guaranteed short, as an example.. I guess perception rules as usual.. Dick.

I agree Richard, no great tool can help you if you don't know how to use it. But I would like to start out with a good tool. This way I can't blame the tool, although it could be a dangerous ride to financial ruin. So I poke around and it appears that Q+ and MSWIN combo will do me, Yes/No? I'm buying soon. Questions: Any problems with download into MSWIN with Q+? As I understand it Q+ first needs to convert to MS format. How about if you have stocks with various dates that need updating? Will Q+ do that automatically or must one do that manually? Is the eps/rs rating like the one found in IBD? I'm a firm believer in market timing, heck any chart will tells me that, but learning this art/science/art is not an easy task. My head is buried in books and my pc in lurk mode at SI. I'm looking at charts and various indicators and peoples opinion about it all. There's a buy and sell signal on the same chart... HELP! It seems that one must stay flexible as the market is always in a constant state of flux. I will be forever learning. I am also grateful to the great and willing teachers here. As far as throwing money around, funny mentals,pie in the sky, hype and kype and BB stocks have so far suffered me a loss (IN THE GREATEST BULL MARKET IN HISTORY),yikes, guess I'm still ahead of basic colledge tuition...... Hopefully TA will give me better results. Wasn't it you that said "bad TA is better than no TA"!? bdog
