 Hi Peter.

I am sorry that my message (The DOW30 scenarios) was distressed for you.
And I glad that you (as you wrote)

   It's not a fact. For example Bob Fulks <bfulks@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

At the beginning of the last year we prepared to sale in october
(you remember the crash in Hong Kong) because Hong Kong was more than
40% of world's money-transit center.
And now:
Europe’s monetary union, if it is achieved, will represent the most profound
transformation of the international monetary system since the transition
from fixed to flexible exchange rates in the early 1970s.
It will compete with the erosion of American dominance and the dramatic increase
in capital mobility for the distinction of being the most far-reaching change
in the global monetary system since the Bretton Woods conference of 1944.
Economic and Monetary Union will create in Europe a new monetary actor with
an economic size roughly comparable to the United States and Japan, ushering
in a new era in international monetary relations. Nonetheless, while broad
interests coincide, the creation of the monetary union will pose challenges
to American, Japanese, and other non-European policymakers.
Europe’s monetary union could prove to be a difficult partner
in international monetary cooperation.

And what we'll do when "US dollars will return to America"?
You will "trend following indicators"? I am not.
Read again the book "The Alchemy of Finance"....

Sorry again.  I don't like a flame. That is my last message to this Discussion
Group
for some months. I am sorry, I am Russian  :-)
                     When I was a child, my mother spoke me:
 "Alex, you must sell results, not methodologies".

Sorry for my bad English. Good trading for you,
Aleks.
