"Takuan: You weren't clear on your question. "which way?" is kind of ambiguous. Don't assume to belittle someone on the basis of your own lofty views, you might find you bite off more than you can chew."

In the mkt's "which way" is totally unambiguous .. short , long, flat (no opinion) .. pretty simple really ... you said you worked at a broker ? The 13 years I spent on the desk the above question was pretty straight forward !?

Anyway, I am a bit abrasive .. I know that .. part of how I was taught I suppose ... just trying to point out to those who will listen as to the machinations behind the market (and TA by default) ... pls see GS's results to come for confirmation ... anyway, good luck people ..
