<DIV><FONT size=2>With the daily interval for AMAT, for example, the Boll. band 
system was consistently profitable for a period of 2 years. In fact, there 
wasn't one losing long trade, and that's with no stops. There were two losing 
short trades, and yet even the short trades as a whole netted a profit. I can 
think of worse systems. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Here's the latest entry signal, at the lower B band (yellow). 
There's a percentage formula for getting in, but it's proprietary, as it were. 
See that beautiful bounce? That comes from buying at the lower band. Yes 
indeedy. Don't work was made to work, I guess. </FONT></DIV>

&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; First of all I witnessed Brooke make those trades 
using Bollinger <BR>&gt; &gt;Bands<BR>&gt; &gt;in real time. It pays, in more 
ways then one, to be open minded before <BR>&gt; &gt;making<BR>&gt; &gt;carte 
blanche statements such as the ones you have made.&nbsp; And second, you<BR>&gt; 
&gt;need to take a look at yourself in the mirror because it seems you've 
<BR>&gt; &gt;become<BR>&gt; &gt;a "Formula Monkey" yourself!&nbsp; And I quote 
"Draw some support/resistance<BR>&gt; &gt;levels, a few trendlines, and an 
oscillator (i.e. stochastic) for<BR>&gt; &gt;overbought/oversold."&nbsp; What 
the heck do you think stochastics are derived<BR>&gt; &gt;from?&nbsp; Thin air? 
By the way, love to see how great Oscillators work in a<BR>&gt; &gt;TRENDING 
market, you know sell when it crosses 80 while the stock is <BR>&gt; 
&gt;trending<BR>&gt; &gt;up, yikes!! - Lenny<BR>&gt; &gt;<BR>&gt; &gt;In a
