Just like my blood pressure medication, I digest the Agoracom Connacher thread everyday (smile).

I'm still long and continue to hold and come here daily to read what's discussed. I enjoy the conversation and knowledge shared by most posters.

I must confess though, like Sharky, I'm a chartist. I lost faith in fundamentals years ago.

I learned long ago that all opinions meet on the trading floor.

I let down my guard with Connacher because of it's fundamentals, only to learn again that fundamentals don't drive the market.... ironically, the market drives the market, and the entire story sits on a chart daily, weekly, monthly and annually. Now I sit through this consolidation period, trying to decipher which way the markets want to go.......

Good luck to ALL in 2009, (I'll still be walking the Agoracom hallways)
