Jim, Jonesie fully understands what you are saying about the pitfalls of relying on charting as an exclusive tool to buy/sell/hold/etc. and a classic example of that is his truism "gaps DO FILL, sans no Big News" The "sans no Big News" pretty much sums it up where certain aspects of charting get thrown out the window when there is "Big News". But, for quite awhile there just hasn't been any "Big News" at TIV (not news about hiring, moving offices, permitting, commencing or giving the CEO a COB title), which would throw his charting out the window. So, for some time, his charting has been spot on and very reliable!
All I can say is those "experts" they hired better start quickly working their magic and have "wild successes", as you say, so we can look back at the charting and hand wringing with a smile, someday. The time is now!
