Kurt---off topic I never have this feeling about loneliness on this thread. Yes, I concede that this thread has very few contributors and declining in number but that have not discouraged me Atleast, I can register my own thoughts on these pages. I go back and enjoy my Foolishness when I am wrong and take credit when I am right even if it is to my ownself. It is for this that most of my posts are addressed to my own self to avoid embarrassment to others who may not like to receive unsolicited posts.( once or twice I did endeavor on some other threads but rebuke was good enough). I started this whole experience a year ago exactly the way it has been now, apparently deserted. I look back and see that this has been a very fulfilling experience. I don't know and have never cared to know if this thread has any following or not but I am sure that whatever it may be, atleast my posts attracts like minded group. Thanks for caring, in a very small corner of SI, I will continue with this self imposed obligation for 'my own training and improvement of skills'. Atleast this thinking helps me to avoid the evil thought of no one cares, it is for my improvement if in the process someone benefits great, if not I am not disturbing any soul. I do understand that my thread goes tangent to markets many a time like my worries about poverty and nuclear bombs in SA, that also must put market oriented lurkers off, I try my best to restrict my self to markets but such is train of my thoughts that I end up with kind of posts which interest very few. I also know that no one else have done this cross border day in day out prediction of market direction that I think is an achievement one of its kind.. Sitting in Pakistan with stray dogs barking in the streets I have this dream that one day we have this cyber world that may break all bondage's. Amongst all this chaos and confusion around me, to relate levels is not only fun but skill I will like to transmit to thousands of poor very capable people from third world who will as time passes make Wall Street their backyard am sure one day it will happen but I want to be pioneer of future Idea threads and millions of Ike's waiting for opportunity in dusty quiet towns all over. Until that happens and I see SI mushroomed with names from China to Malaysia or Sudan to SA I will keep this experiment of global trekking going even if I have no one on this thread left. For me it is much bigger an experiment it is about bringing global talent together. I agree that so far it looks to be a failing experience but rest assure that perseverance and consistency are two virtues which I love. Someone like you do crop up and introduce himself to the world of Idea I get a new friend and that in itself is great. On the other hand the kind of excellent letters I get on my private e-mail and private messages assure me that it is not all going to waste. Someone out there is listening. I have levels which are strange from market viewpoints like when I wrote above 1000 the level of 1130 as top of SPM no one ever thought that we shall achieve that for me it now a accomplished reality. On the other hand I have been miserable in predicting Nikkei but so far it has disturbed me but once it plays with little less sentiment my views will be as relevant as they are for SOX or SPM. Prediction on daily basis is a difficult trait and I totally understand lack of interest but I will like this thread to have that unique knack of predicting the entire move so far I think I have tried my best but lot of room of improvement still remains. I think accountability and sticking out neck on daily basis is the name of the game I enjoy it. I assure you that for me the utility of this thread is immense it is my mirror image sometime. I am able to express that means a lot to me. The monologue shall continue the story will live! Oil will receive my 2 cents worth, I hope my words will comfort you. will remain happy and totally contented. Thanks for highlighting something that remained ignored for quite sometime, I will never forget the gesture that you cared and thought about me in my little lovely Paris. God bless you.\Ike
