Naw is right! :) The 4 of you would probably be the first 'up against
the wall' when the Revolution came!

Seriously though, I've been wanting to ask a question of Walt and Rick
for some time now..... I primarily trade the grains. Since I've never
seen this subject mentioned by either, my question is simply this...
Even if your analysis techniques TELL you very directly to either
'buy/sell' at a particular time, do you take into consideration any
fundamentals such as a pending crop report before you make the trade? I
can't count the number of times this year that a fundamental influence
such as a weather 'scare' or a crop report has flipped the markets
upside down. (Technicals be dammed.) Do you at least take into
consideration fundamentals before a trade is made? Or do you simply
avoid the trade if there is a strong potential of something such as a
crop report influencing the trade for the day; even if FDATES etc.
suggest - 'go for it'? And if you do incorporate fundamentals, where do
you primarily get your daily fundamental news? When I trade, I always
have FWN running at the same time as the real time quote feed. (FWN has
saved my butt more than once.)
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
Ryan Garrett
PS: Walt, I'm REALLY sorry, but this HAS to be asked.... what's your
duck's name?
