While we're talking about learning, and also about box size, perhaps someone could let me have thoughts about box size for mutual funds. I'm having trouble deciding what box size to use. MSLBX was one fund that I was looking at on the DWA site. I would appreciate all comments on this. PS. never managed to get into TMR,or FLC, but PTEN is doing well both on it's chart (recently broke the BRL and currently going through resistance at 8) and fundamentally with the recent rise in crude prices.

Jan, I appreciate your sharing your PnF insights. You're a born teacher. Have you considered writing an occasional newsletter? Weekly would be great. It would expand your audience beyond the confines of SI and DWA. Mike Simmons on the drillers thread started a free oil service letter last year and now has a circulation of over 2000. He even has ads. This would not have to be much extra work, since you could use stuff you write about anyway. And you could have the other experts as contributors. We could have a contest for a name.

Hi Jan you write: "Question. Does everyone see and understand how the charting worked when the market and techs were declining? This is important. I'd like to open more discussion about it so everyone can see why we take so much stock (pardon the pun) in the indicators. Tammy can help with this discussion. It is very important for you to see how this works. You all saw that the indicators reversed up yet the "market", mostly techs, fell. Why didn't the indicators change, why didn't they reverse down, why did the move up more? Who can answer those questions?" I'm thinking the answer is that the PnF indicators (BPNYSE, BPOTC,and the shorty's HILO, % of 10) are now and have been making more "buy" signals and the indicator are in "X's. This is the time we are on offense. The BPNYSE is a leading indicator. It doesn't mean we won't have pullbacks and selloffs but we seem to be making higher bottoms on the mayority of charts. If we start to get more sell signals they should show on the HILO and % of 10. For now we play the cards we have been dealt. Pullbacks that hold at support with good RS's in strong sectors could be good trades.
