Hi Peter--good to hear from you >>I know that you really believe in your system and follow it exactly when other forces indicate the opposite; so let me ask you this theoretical question: If someone with money approached you (like a fund or firm) and wanted to buy your system, how much money do you think you could get?<< No idea, Peter--never ever thought about it. Not even sure that I'd want to sell it--but then on the other hand ....... I know that vendors sell trading systems for anywhere from $2000 to as much as $10,000 to each person who wants the formula/logic. I doubt that I'd want to sell it unless I developed a better system for myself. I have never understood the logic behind someone selling a system that makes pots of money -- it would seem that one would just use it for ones own benefit. >>Wouldn't it be nice to be see the "tom trader traders indicator" in the WSJ or on CNBC?<< I guess it would be good for the ego --- but can you imagine the number of people who'd take potshots at me, when I go short on a day like today and then the market roars ahead. But it is kind of you to even suggest it!! My regards
