Tahnks for that but I'm not sure that I deserve it. I think that in the huge bear market there must have been something about the supply and demand equation that cuased the movement of stocks to do things that gave the impression they were behaving according to whatever passes as rules for TA.
That was the greatest bear in history and it was simply outside the range of experience of everyone who hadn't been alive and something over 20 years old in 1929.
