Unfortunately, I may be the most flagrant violator with respect to advice without explanation. This is solely because my interpretation is irrational.

Without sitting down and presenting a "picture" I cannot pose a reasonable explanation for why to do anything.

I have come a bit close in P-Mail with one other poster here, but the technique is not readily transferable to typewritten words.

So I post a lot of stuff about bonds and the Yen and so forth, but the underlying rationale for the basis of my trading is not simple to explain in print. I tried once here and immediately took heat.

The responding poster was correct. It's too hard to grasp in print. So don't look to me to ever present a convincing case logically. I may say that the bond is doing this or the Greenback that....but my underlying reasons I cannot get into. Not because I'm afraid the market will crash on my posts, just because the rationale is obscure and too hard to explain.

Hard to believe, as well. But it has nothing to do with Astrology, for example, a topic many associate me with.
