I used to watch the pre-market upgrades in the crazy bull market. I never concluded that holding them for very long was good and I never concluded that over $15 price was a good thing and I never concluded that a previous downgrade was a bad thing, quite the contrary in fact. Max

I think an argument can be made that persistence will override a lot of seeming "chaos". If you persist in some intelligent way towards a goal you will almost have to attain some measure of success eventually. The goal has to be clearly defined in the first place. Just having a goal is a large...

Govt has always scared me. So many people have been harassed and punished as if the bill of rights was never in place. A lot of them asked for it but still, the rights were supposed to extend to everybody, not just the economically successful and mainstream. Then there is the Los Angeles City...

I don't think quote.com is for advanced users. Max

I've used Qcharts off and on for a few years. It is just wierd how their data is so unreliable at times. The software is just the best though if you are sensitive to how things "look and feel" which I very much am. I cancelled the sub a few months ago and I missed the charting program so much I...

I don't believe you should look to your backtesting software to deliver any new system, the best computer in the world is between your ears. I would look at charts with all sorts of indicators until I had what looked like a promising system then use the backtester to prove or disprove or...

Tampa is weird. The short skirts thing was a spoof of some kind, now he wants us all to hit the bricks and demonstrate. WE VOTED. WE DON'T HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE. OK? BTW the French suck. Max

26%. Not phobic particularly, some of the people I worked with in the past that were my favorites were completely out. Fun to work with as long as in a public place!! Max

Prechter has published predictions that were horribly wrong before, he said the great bull market was over and we should buy gold and expect the end of western economies in 1995! Max

I listened to an interview of a guy that was a tax protester. After a couple of decades he was in his mid 70's, his life was in ruins, the IRS came to his property and confiscated stuff that did not belong to him with no warning, they laughed in his face when he asked to see a warrant, etc...

I just ran a screen, not one issue on NYSE making new high today, 25 on the NASDAQ, 4 on the AMEX. That is being generous, I did not check to see how many were just repeat performances of the past days. I looked at some of your picks, could have made a LOT more money by TRADING those things...

Hundreds of issues making new highs every day? I don't think so. BTW you said you are "open minded enough to learn from anybody". You probably have been so open minded it's time you closed down for repairs. Max

He's saying that if you are really, really smart you will never be able to solve the problem but I you are dumb, persistent and lucky you might make it. Max

He can not only use a screener and read IBD, he can sense sarcasm too!! I can hardly wait to learn more.... Max

We'd all better sit up straight and listen to this guy and take copious notes, he can use a screener and has a subscription to IBD. Max

I think I've seen some controversy over how it is calculated, done differently by different people. I was researching EOD systems a few years ago and I found it to be marginally useful for what I was doing but as I recall I finally dropped it from the lineup. Max

That report bears out what I see on my results of applying the same tech analysis but varying the timeframe. It mostly comes down to a percent per bar type of thing, the longer the bar interval then the less the profits over time, fairly obvious. The big question then is what is the shortest...

I had a RAM manager and 192meg o'memory. These systems just get to be so trailing edge that you can't really do what you want with them, the case was so retro it was no good even, cooling improved with the newer cases since then. Being cheap is one of the best ways to handicap yourself. When...

I started this thread and then nothing happened in it for awhile. Meanwhile I put a crowbar on my wallet and got a XP/Intel 2.6GHz, 512, 80 Gb, Raid striping, etc. machine and it had WinXP on it. No problems at all, except my Office 97 Excel crashes on me right before the open every day so I...

What you are saying is that you have found that you can be wealthy without working but you are thinking about taking a job? I've had a zillion jobs, they don't ever make me rich, sometimes they do contribute to my learning and growing up. Get a part time job for the learning and growing up...
