Hi Bob:

Thanks for the tip (the web site).

I have a problem using such "fundamental" indicators. Let say we know that
we are in danger zone. What should I do? Is today chart formation a top, a
bottom, a continuation pattern? It could be any of it. So in that
"fundamental indicators" are not helpful.

They are not helpful in another situation. I am pondering a question are we
in the new 4 year cycle: bull move for a few years, then decline, the usual
routine. "Fundamental" indicators give me a clear "danger" signal as at the
beginning of the previous 4 year cycle, and 4 years before, and before...
What should I do?

Where those "fundamental" indicators could be helpful (I suppose) that if I
see a major top or bottom and "fundamentals" confirm or contradict the
pattern. If they confirm to the better, if they contradict then I need an
extra review.

Alex.
