Bob,

Last time I put my tongue in my cheek as hard as you did below, it 
blinded my eye teeth!

Baloney is baloney no matter who cuts it.

What exactly does your analysis of yourself in regards to 
trendfollowing reveal about technique and your behavoral psychology. 
Can you see and analyze trends?  Can you not follow  a trend, if so, 
why not?  Don't know when to get in or out?  This really boils down 
to trading.  Perhaps we can learn something if you provide some 
specifics about this.  See if you can balance your psychological 
answer with some trading vernacular.  Remember, this is about you now 
and the rest of us who are your competitors, so don't get defensive, 
focus on yourself and the answer, no attacks, no slamming, no 
rebuttals.  Just look in the mirror and focus on you, trendfollowing, 
and the answer.  Foget us and have a heart to heart talk with 
yourself while we listen through the door of your perception.  Just 
what is it about you and trendfollowing that don't mix?  This is the 
constant theme of your messages.  Overcome that and you become a 
master trendfollower.
