Ot thinking. I had a professor in college who emphasized thinking outside the box and reading between the lines. He said Nixon should be impeached years before the press did. I took his style of thinking to heart many years ago. My program is a direct reflection of such a concept and uses many popular ta indicators in ways never intended. I also liked marty zweigs book after he invented the put call ratio for the same reasons.
Katrina finished convicing me our day to day life is just a pleasant and easily smashed illusion. The recent Israeli conflict showed me a tidal change is coming in future warfare; ie tanks are no good in crowded city streets against militias who are highl;y mobile, hidden and use civilians for protection. This weeks news on gm-ford pension liabilities bush meeting bailout talks showed me another evidence of the iceberg surfacing for everyones retirement years.
