Thanks Treggs, yes it's easy to usually pick market direction but timing is so so hard now that PPT manipualtion is present. I think one can do it, but it means not having a life and just watching the screen 24/7. I have always felt a group of 7 or 9 odd people doing it in a 24 hr roster may be able to do the same. With 24/7 notification of any market upsets via SMS. That way we could lead a good life and have mega $. I go O/S 3 times a year for ? 11 odd weeks. So I loose interest and most importantly loose the "drift" by lack of hands on in the market when I am involved in different cultures. I love the $, but time off keeps me enjoying life to the hilt.
