    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    Well, Conover's work proved to be a nice thread to tie in with my own which, although I've promised to elaborate more on in my journal, I haven't followed through with, yet. But, I will, Iwill. Seee you later, Merchant.

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    Terminally serious. I'll have to wait at least a few years (I hope) before the other way around becomes my modus operandi. I can't stand the thought of being wrong. At worst I can make calls that are market indeterminant. At best, because of the entropy of my model, I'm right first time...

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    It tells me most people who are reading your stuff don't have the capital to trade oil. PRSVX made my notebook of what to do if I ever accumulate some extra cash. I'm not famous but have met a lot of people in my travels and have always managed to do something memorable wherever I was at...

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    That should be interesting. I've had some experience at that prediction business. Your are right, being right doesn't seem to matter, only whether you are "in" and if you're not in you're "out". For me there was too much pressure to perform and I wasn't all that good at it, it didn't really...

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    This is supposition. I can't see what firms (ex: 990N) are making and withdrawing orders. If these firms which normally do volume aren't doing volume but instead are only showing small size then it may not be unreasonable to suspect that they are waiting for a price level to buy/sell...

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    From what I've read price stair-stepping on no volume may be "iceberg" orders -- only some of the true order size showing on the DOM. Or, it could be automated marketmaking machines designed to push price that way. I've got the artifacts of this and am currently trying to figure it out...

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    I count myself lucky I don't have volume option except on IB with Quotetracker. Not that great at math and couldn't follow filter discussion. Merchant is the clever one.

    Thanks Merchant. If you drink a lot of wine you will eventually discover the cheap stuff, LOL.

    Merchant, Fido = Fidelity? Also, what is wrong with owning the futures instead of the fund and buying high quality corporate bond funds? Not my idea, read about it. Regards.

    SUV Sales

    That's cool. I drive another Avalon (second one, actually my Dad owns it) -- 2004 and it gets 26.5 city and highway with the a/c or heater running. That's about what I got in the old Avalon but it was 9 years old and had about 73,000 miles. If we could've afforded to keep it we would've but...

    SUV Sales

    Was watching Motorweek on PBS this evening and heard the news reporter say SUV sales were down 15% last year. I found this story dated May 18, 2004. http://money.cnn.com/2004/05/17/pf/autos/suvs_gas/ Also, saw a commercial for a new Honda Hybrid Civic with in town gas mileage of...

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    Hey, Merchant. Thank you for your calm reflection. My story was of the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament. The New Testament also mentions the falling of a tower. The lesson to be learned is not to be caught 'unawares' by death. Make preparation for it. Spiritually. My life is what it...

    This is the way of war, Merchant: scalp enemy, then run bravely away. If caught by enemy try to disengage, if you not at advantage, run away. Always try to preserve your life at cost to enemy, Merchant: try to traverse. Now, I must run away.
