NW: Exactly! Einstein would be proud. Its all relative. The Solar System is like
a giant magneto. As the Planets change their relative position they create
different force fields. But how it all works at this point is purely
theoretical, beyond this forum, and not necessary. The bottom line is that it
does work and I will present some evidence below to prove it. However, being
that Andrew is a Taurus, I know that he is "bull headed" so I don't expect to
convince him. I do hope to add some value and wake some folks who are open
minded.
         Thank you to Clyde of RT fame for the following research.  I have
excerpted this from an earlier e-mail.

 I have an old research paper sitting on my desk
done by a friend on correlating the Lunar Cycle with the markets. The
currencies have a positive win los ratio to the Lunar Cycle.
Please see the X phase numbers for when to buy or sell.  For example, the
JY has a phase X number of 17, meaning you should buy about two days
after the Full Moon and sell two days after the New Moon. This is because
you count X days from the New Moon to buy and the same X days from the
Full Moon to sell. The currencies are vs. the US Dollar ala CME style.
.

   Kewl huh?  I rest my case. Enough BS, back to the bull pen Andrew.

Evidentially,

Norman
