Fact is indeed:

Nothing is predictable, NEVER EVER. There is no tool telling you what tomorrows 
price is gonna be! If results are correlated with the tool, than you ALWAYS get 
some positive series, but these are ONLY COINCIDENCES.

What is key is to exploit the series when they are in your favor, and to cut 
losses short when they are not. What caused the series in the first place is 
IRRELEVANT.

| 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.
