Re: Astro Technical Analysis - Double Standard?

Jim and the rest

I have an old mag. published in Oct. 1990. The articles were about astrology
investing..
Some of those folks were amazing in term of making forecasts about the
market..They were right..
I do not think that this individual's object is to make money on the knowledge.
The price he is currently offering for that knowledge is way cheap.. It is just
like going to a book store and buy a two good books.. And I am sure you have
brought books about tradings..
I stop to think that if all these folks been doing this for years, do you think
they keep it up if they are not making money with the astroinvestings?
