I guess we have to congratulate Norm on his stellar record <g>!! But,
astrology is in the public domain, and if research has been done it ought
to have been published in journals subject to peer review and independent
testing, not in somebody's newsletter. This is not priveledged information
- at least the outlines of the astrological work.
But, nevertheless, we are getting somewhere with the assertion about mars
entering taurus. This ought to be verifiable. That is the type of testing I
am looking for. After all, when someone sells a system, if we are smart, we
ask for a detailed track record of that system. Should be the same with
astrology. I am not going to buy a system or take a course with anyone,
after all the scams I have seen and heard about in this field, without
checking it out as thoroughly as I possibly can, based on evidence of its
effectiveness.
I am truly happy for Norm's success. I wish you all success in the future
too. But your personal track record, although important in evaluating you
as a possible teacher or mentor, is important, it does not give evidence
of the efficacy of financial astrology. As someone pointed out earlier, you
are a very experienced trader with good instincts. This may be the most
valuable tool you have. But we have to leave this aside when evaluating the
system you advocate.
As a matter of fact, this was never meant to be a discussion about Norm
W. So why bring yourself into it? Let's discuss the merits of astrology
leaving personalities out of it.
So then, where is the evidence about mars entereing taurus? Not just one
or 2 exaamples but a detailed study. Anyone?? Or, any other pattern such as
this? Anyone??
Best wishes,
David Cicia
