Helios, my friend, good to see that there is something you're good at - grammar ! Let's tackle one of your weak spots - TA and moving averages ! You wrote: I'll find a stock that would have made you money if you had followed the exact opposite strategy. i.e. buying when the 50 day ema breaks on the downside i said: But i would love to see the stock that makes you money over a period of 5 years when you buy/sell crossing below/above 50 day MA Now you give me Smith Kline (SBH) Here are the test results (6/1/92-2/27/98) 1. Helios' BigBux 1 Buy: close<50 day EMA Sell: close>50 day EMA Result -59% 2. Helios' BigBux 2 Buy: close<200 day SMA Sell: close>200 day SMA Result -8% (you would have been out of the stock most of the time) Buy & Hold +198% Dahl +126% cheers Jurgen
