I have hated this market for over 2 years.  I can see no reason for it to be
trading where it is right now.  I can give you many reasons to sell this
market, only one, greed, to buy it.  That does not mean that, as a trader, I
can't trade both the upside and the downside of this market, and the stocks
or futures that make it up.  That is what trading is all about.  I don't
know prechter, I have never read his letter, but I believe that he has
recommended both buys and sells in this market, even though he screams,
watch out the sky is falling.  The system that I use always gives me 2
trades.  One up and one down.  I am very seldom surprised. It does happen
though.  Ira.
