Hi!
I thought I'd seen all a man can see when being in this "almost scam world called trading in general". I was wrong. I got a mail from Elliot Wave International. They say that oil has gone and goes up because there is a wave and they deny "its fundamental reasons".

In China, oil demand was 1.07 billion barrels in 2006, up from 166 million ten yers earlier, a 600% growth. And what about India?
Pals, the day you think a tech pattern is going to change the world, that day you'll be dead or the biggest scam guru on earth.
"I had heard about technical analysis and chart patterns, and looking at this stuff I would say, what kind of voodoo is this? I was very, very skeptical that technical analysis had value. So I used the computers to check it out, and what I learned was that there was, in fact, no useful reality there. Statistically and mathematically all these tools -- stochastics, RSI, chart patterns, Elliot Wave, and so on -- just don't work. If you code any of these rigorously into a computer and test them they produce no statistical basis for making money; they're just wishful thinking. But I did find one thing that worked. In fact almost all technical analysis can be reduced to this one thing, though most people don't realize it: the distributions of returns are not normal; they are skewed and have "fat tails." In other words, markets do produce profitable trends. Sure, I found things that work over the short term, systems that work for five or ten years but then fail miserably. Everything you made, you gave back. Over the long term, trends are where the money is." DR. Gary Hirst.
