Voltaire vs. Lucretius

An SI Board Since April 2000

Emcee: SOROS	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

Well, I invited Voltaire and Lucretius to debate each other in an effort to see who has the most "true" knowledge about the way the markets work and move. Both gentlemen turned down the invitation. I believe Voltaire said he had no interest in a "pissing contest", and Lucretius said "LOL, NO."

Someone then erased my thread altogether, so I have decided to post my own version of the debate. I will keep and on-going daily journal of these two widely-followed markt "gurus", and we'll see who's right ultimately. Enjoy.

The move upwards will be two steps forward and one back. We had the two yesterday and the one back today. Watch tomorrow, today was the FAKE OUT day. Remember, when the houses say they must finish at a certain level in the Naz to signal a bottom, they will see that we finish. Tomorrow will be the beginning of two good days. Even if the numbers are slightly on the negative side.
