I have followed this thread on astro for a while and said nothing.&nbsp;
At this point I feel that a reply is called for.&nbsp; Norman has contributed
to this forum on many occasions.&nbsp; Some times he was right and other
times he was right, but a little off on the timing.&nbsp; I don't recall
him being really wrong.
<br>Here is someone, who once again, says give me something for nothing.&nbsp;
Everything about astro is out there. Norman found something that works
for him and thought that someone else might benefit by it and put his thoughts
out there.&nbsp; If you are that anxious to prove or disprove the theory,
go out there, do YOUR<b><font size=+2> </font></b>homework and come back
and disprove what he has to say. If you want to learn about it, contact
Norman or someone else that teaches it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't use astro
because it doesn't suit my trading style.&nbsp; I spent a year developing
a system that works for me and I won't give that away either. If you want
a short cut pay for it.&nbsp; If you want to do it on your own, you will
pay an awful lot more and maybe never succeed.&nbsp; If you are just out
there to badger people I am sure that Mr. Duffey will enlist you on his
team.
<p>Nuff said.&nbsp; Ira.

respond

be
<br>tested by anyone. I don't think we will see such an offer.

<p>> RTs,
<br>>
<br>> . One observation that I have made is that&nbsp; it seem that the
skeptics
<br>> set a higher standard for Astrology than they do for any other form
of
<br>> market analysis. When someone mentions that they got a buy signal
based
<br>> on some oscillator or moving average, you don't see the entire RT
list
<br>> jump all over them asking for extensive statistics and causation
proving
<br>> that it works. If they do mention that it works 70% of the time,
people
<br>> are crawling thru their computer monitors to try to get the formulae
for
<br>> the new found holly grail. Now, I am apparently expected to give
<br>> definitive scientific proof and causation for Astrology and the markets.
<br>>
<br>> This is a double standard applied by the skeptics. It is does not
set a
<br>> fair or level playing field.
<br>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My purpose in posting Astro correlations
is only to whet peoples
<br>> appetites for this area of study.&nbsp; I am not here to do their
research or
<br>> homework. If they can see a nugget of value in researching something
I
<br>> post, then I have done the list a valuable service. If someone decides
<br>> that they would like to seriously pursue this avenue of study, I
stand
<br>> ready to help.
<br>>
<br>> Appetizingly,
<br>>
<br>> Norman

I got ahead by $13,000 with him and then gave it all back over the past
few weeks.
That kind of drawdown should scare most people away - rightfully so.
