That's because you don't let HAL out of the house. HAL needs to meet nice young PCs -- go out on a date. HAL needs a life! CTC

Larry, One doesn't need 40 years of market know how, but the brains to pick the brains of those who have. My husband uses TC2000 but the information I get from other members and my common sense is usually better. Dorine

Larry, I wrote the following on Wed. at 11 am: I indicate that HAL will indicate a Buy signal for Dell in the next three trading days. Technically, that gives HAL until 11 am on Monday to give the Buy signal on Dell <VBG>. - Marq.

Larry, What good is an indicator that lags so much that it tells you to buy after a 5 point rise? For those with large positions, a 5 point rise represents more money than they used to make in a year at their old jobs. How far did DELL have to drop before HAL said DELL was in a downturn? Assuming that the lag is just as bad on the downside as the upside, then this is my scenario for using HAL. The recent top was around 46. Lets see... HAL says downtrend at around 40 and we sell... it goes to 35 and change... HAL doesn't tell us to buy until 43+. Seems like we lose more paying attention to HAL than just buying and holding.. Plus, no cap gains with buy and hold. Just my opinion, but it doesn't make sense. Maybe HAL is better calling tops than bottoms.
