Hi Norman...

Once in a while the truth slips into the forum in a post such as this.

Everybody should really focus on what you're saying as far as competing
with Saloman Bros., etc. Doesn't this make obvious sense? I use
Metastock for charting and haven't upgraded from a very "old" version
(5.11) mostly because 95% of the "improvements" are more bells and
whistles with little regard to simple tools. The software venders know
where the money is by introducing new and improved "sirens" to tempt
traders to try this or that method that just confuses and muddies the
simple movement of price.

Just my additional 2 cents.

Best... John
