That is kind of like what I was trying to say. While Prechter has had
some real bad calls for the very big crash picture, he has also had some
good bullish and bearish calls.

Ira has the right attitude. He is a trader, not an analyst. I am more of
an analyst. He can hate the market or not, but he follows what the
market is telling him to do, and not what he thinks the market should
do!
