Kent,
Some people simply don't wish to believe no matter how much FACT is
presented
To them. You fall into this camp..and its your choice to close your
mind.
You need to read some of my others posts. Did you ever look at the URL
I
Sent out to the EWA3 site? I would bet not. But then again you don't
wish your
Belief system tampered with by factual research. Research far more
comprehensive
Than Clyde's (not denigrating your work Clyde *s*) and far more
pertinent because
It analysed the Fib work in relation to strict mathematical wave counts.
It showed
Conclusive PROOF. But hey....Don and I are happy to be sellers where
you will be
A buyer and make a bank account transfer :-)
Let it be also said of course, that to trade profitably you don't need
to use or even
Know about Fibo numbers. They are just another in a long line of
interesting tools.
