GEN: DUCKS, ASTROLOGY, ETC......

Andrew, Norm & Group:

Here is some additional grist for this mill.  Years ago a publication
titled "The Skeptic Inquirer" (I believe that is the correct title) ran
an article on the scientific basis of astrology.  The purpose of this
publication is to scientifically examine the mysterious, occult, un-
explained phenenoma, etc.

Here's what the did.  They provided the same natal birth chart
to several 'serious' astrologers.  The astrologers chosen were well
know in their field, published and generally recognized as being
among the best in their field.  The results were that although they
had the same information; each arrived at different conclusions
about the individual natal chart under analysis.  (Sounds like a stock chart
right?) I believe they then concluded that the astrologers themselves proved
their contention that even 'serious' astrology was not scientific.  Even
though we could say they did not approach this study with an open mind; this
type of evidence is highly sobering.  Regarding its practical application to
trading, if the belief is strong enough perhaps this tool provides the
psychological confidence for taking trades--even though any coorelations may
be coincidental.
