Just goes to show that their motivations cannot be taken at face value (buys = stock headed higher, sells = stock headed lower), and that they can be flat-out wrong so often. And I couldn't agree more, just as you said 'sometimes doing nothing is doing well too'....if only more traders understood how true that is, they'd be so much better off and have clearer minds to continue growing their accounts. Keep up the good work on your blog and thanks for reading mine! Have a great week, Jeff DavidDT,

( http://trading-to-win.blogspot.com/2006/12/helix-energy-hlx-take-or-can-we-rely-on_02.html I like your writings, style, hope you do well ( sometimes "doing nothing" is doing well too - that what I do last week - nothing and not too much last month except TMA short ) Hi Jeff
