crashtestsuperstar: You are certainly welcome to your personal preferences, and each individual investor has a different set of them, and will act accordingly. I only ask that my set of preferences not be ridiculed, as I would not ridicule anyone else's. The system I'm using is not strictly astrological, but a combination of numerology and astrology which I've been experimenting with since GTE was listed on the amex, and which have proven to be of value to me (and others who have observed them with me...pennypirate, for one, would concur) to the point which I would consider it to be a useful tool in addition to FA and TA. Of course it's not 100% correct, but it is considerably higher than 50% correct. It is a way of measuring the degree of probability/potential of an event or characteristic happening, and does not promise that such potential will definitely be fulfilled, but does work often enough with sometimes amazing accuracy, timing-wise, for me to find it very useful. Seems spooky, yes, I'll grant you that, but the apriori consideration is to use what works, whether or not one understands how or why it works.
Hey, no hard feelings...I understand that many people are immediately skeptical of such methods and their first reaction is to ridicule. Being skeptical is healthy, but remaining skeptical without trying something out to see for oneself whether or not it works with an open mind is not healthy, IMHO, and may deprive one of valuable tools.
I don't encourage belief or taking anything for granted, but I do encourage knowledge thru experiment, experience, and observation.
I enjoy your informational posts here, and thank you for your time in providing them.
