<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The Zig Zag indicator can indeed be used for 
predictive purposes.&nbsp; Here is one way I use it.&nbsp; There are a multitude 
of possibilities.&nbsp; I first took a 2% Zig-Zag of the S&amp;P 500 futures 
prices.&nbsp; I then took the ratio of the distance traversed in price from the 
most current completed Peak-to-Valley Zig-Zag to the previous Peak-to-Valley 
Zig-Zag.&nbsp; The current <U><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>completed 
</FONT></U>Peak-to-Valley can only be determined once the 1) following 2% 
Valley-to-Peak has completed and 2) the new Peak-to-Trough is underway and is 
approaching 2% retracement. Notice the symmetry in the market when these values 
are plotted in a chart (see 2%_ZigZag.gif at <A 
href="http://www.mindspring.com/~blee7/";>www.mindspring.com/~blee7/</A> ).&nbsp; 
Actually the values plotted are the squared values of the ratios indicating 
extreme symmetry in the market.&nbsp; I then used neural networks to predict if 
the following ratio of Peak-to-Valley is less than or greater than the most 
recent known Peak-to-Valley ratio (already completed as described above).&nbsp; 
My nets were able to predict the change in the value of ratio with over 92% 
accuracy.&nbsp; Not rocket science or a trading system but a nice-to-know value.

Sorry Andreas, but I.R.'s work IS also technical analysis and was spot on and this was
also the 3td time around now in a very short period that your hero gets unmasked in
professional TA-systems and as for being a clowneske ego-tripping little kid, not bloody
knowing what he's doing or what he's saying or what he is sending. Pure fantasy.

Sience Fiction(SF)
--------------------
-On ones systems posted here: a master-blaster of useless disposable information.
-On ones tactics in the market : a 1 out of 10 for making the effort.
-On one being a Professional attendee: niks,nada,nil.

Whatever your hero's work is, is only known well now to the ones that went down with him
on these several in the past posted capitol blunders approaches, eg that's what one gets
if one does not thouroughly and well upfront test ones systems or duplicated stolen indicators.
Just the latest one "recommomdation" posted would have had user file for bancruptcy
well before Oct.1999, and well before a very profitable market phase started !! 
As well when one thinks that he/she already knows it all from only hitting 2 or 3 very lucky
strikes, strikes made in market phases where a dog barking or a blind horse could have
been very succesfull, when also jumping over the clouds in the sky. Thus Sience Fiction(SF).
(June 24 - is a SF-class day too. Perhaps that Walt Disney is interested).

Your hero being into cheap copying shit, prehistoric anecdotes(fib), inexperienced,
irresponsable for not properly testing, continuesly bragging, a rookie in the Equity arena
and nowhere knowledgable in TA, that explains enough.

No public warnings are required either, as is been suggested by many others:
for the above just omit.
And in general:
The List too after all is a brought minded discussioning of MSK or Investing related subjects
by and between its members, not a List for regularly send public financial market
recommendations.(Thank heavens for that).

Ton Maas
