Hi Bill; RE>then you believe in the concept and are on the search for the perfect indicator! << I may give that impression, at one time I'm sure I was, more recently I have come to see that there can be no such thing. ------------ One needs to have the time to develope indicators , track the market and keep an open mind to the fact that indicators that once worked good can stop working or actually reverse. ------------- The market is in a state of change and the more advanced traders are always developing new ways to part people from their money. For market thieves this is a full time job and few of us individuals can even conceive how crooked the dedicated professional theif can be. <G> They wrap themselves up in noble looking cloth, and daperdan personalities that it's difficult to see them for the real jack the ripper sneaky little sluts that they are. ------------------------- The perfect indicator is a myth, and has no hope of ever existing, in this sea of change called the stock market. --------------- Some FA I do in a general sence and its longer term than you may expect. I've worked as a cargo super on tankers, and Capt on the supply boats and I know more about the workings of the oil business than I want to explain..oil prices are greatly manipulated and impact us going forward much more than any other commodity in the world. I was (in 96,) correct in the longer term effect when the big run up in oil prices started. The linkage is not exactly "short term" the cost of energy is in every thing we do, and the over all impact is much greater than interest rate changes, which are a sort of adjustment or trailing effect to energy cost. ---------------------- I find it odd at this time for the worlds number one commodity to have gotten so much cheaper while silver and gold are going up..the combined effect I have not had time to run through the hopper yet. ------------------------- This guy Buffet or what ever, is no GOD in my books and his wisdom IMO is over rated just because he happened to be at the right place at the right time years ago..he has also made some bad calls in the past that most people tend to ignore. I've tracked his holdings and see him as a caggy operator. Watching BRKa Incan tell you he is slick..beliving press releases he leaks out are without motives or in the interest of honesty is like believing Nixon was not a crook. Yep thats it Buffet is now the Nixon of the stock market, and has out done that George guy.. Jim
