Well of course if you believe this you will believe anything. Charting, technical analysis or what ever you call it is equivalent to what the Ancient Romans did when they murdered and eviscerated  a chichen and tried to predict the future from the way its innards fell out.

 

You cannot predict the future, at least not in the financial markets, by looking at what happened in the past. If it was that easy we would all be millionaires by now.

 

You have to put in the hard yards.

Amy:

 

Good picking: I woke up this morning to find out the news that AOL is merging with Time Warner.  The combined company will be worth US$350 billion.  As I write this message Time Warner stock is up 53 per cent and AOL up around 7 per cent. 

 

This merger has propelled the Nasdaq up an incredible 129 points (3.3 per cent) and the Dow has also jumped on the news.

 

I'm looking forward to our market here in New Zealand opening today!

 

Best Regards,

 

Benjamin Dutton
