Hokey smokes. Andrew Vance speaking with Bob Graham. I have a hard time understanding posts by either of you. They are so deep. Now that you guys are talking to each other, I think my skull shall explode. It was much easier when I only had Tokyo Mex to deal with.

Thank you for the background on you and this thread. I will become a more frequent poster to your thread. I really was not aware of this little community of people that I just have stumbled into here. I came to this thread as the result of my periodic review of the postings of others like Judy that I follow on a regular basis to see what new intelligent things they have said about the market from their area(s) of specialty. We do have quite a knowledgeable community of people here at SI with diverse backgrounds and approaches to the market including all different types of market professionals. Over the time I have spent posting to SI, I have leaned allot from many of these individuals including Judy. The market is a never ending learning experience for me and hopefully will remain that way. Judy's specialty among other things TA and FA is following the fund money as it makes its way around in the market in the form of sector rotations. This I find very worthwhile information to look at in the form of accumulation and distribution of stocks and industries in the marketplace. Where the fund money goes so goes (at least 70% of) the market is the way I look at it. But then you probably already have seen her in action concerning this topic and in her other areas of interest too such as option strategies. As for myself, I think I am described in the best light as a short term trader who is a chartist and tape reader. I trade options and write covered CALLs. My focus is developing option strategies for specific types of stocks and then developing a technically based system to trade the options. Also occassionally I like to remind others of the risks they are taking in the market that they may not be aware of in their hot pursuit of money, which appears to be able to throw around the better traders at times. I will go back and review a history of posts to this thread and catch up with the ongoing conversations here so I can participate more intelligently in the discussions of this thread. Bob Graham PS: I have a well-deserved reputation for long posts. I am going to "diet" in this area.
