On June 2, 1969 at 1:08 pm little Boi Wonder was snatched out of his mother's uterus, spanked by a female doctor (which he very much enjoyed) and has since lived a very interesting life through 29 years. Yes it is true I've had my share of sheep and other farm animals (is a wide mouth bass considered a farm animal?)....anyway, I just wanted to share with the thread the passing of my birthday..yes yes, no fancy AV type Birthday website was created in my honor <sigh>, but how was anyone to know that on June 2, 1969 GOD created Boi Wonder (and has been scratching his head ever since). Well, back into the abyss I go. Boi

That's why they call it "NEWS". By the time the word gets out by way of the normal press, it's news, meaning "history". Who knows, maybe Warren announced what he'd been doing just to get the price pumped up where he could take some 50% profits. Which is exactly why I like t/a charts. You can "see" what the big guys are doing while they are actually doing it. An early detection system, just short of actually having insider information. There was some discussion about silver here in Swaps last year around March-July between p webster and myself, when it was trying to break resistance around $5.50. Commodities are something that are traded on technicals more than stocks are. Almost every commodities trader either studies t/a, or subscribes to a t/a newsletter for buy/sell alerts. Technicals actually is a catalyst for commodity prices, as much as news/weather/fundamentals are. T(x)
