Re: Exponential Damping

Rick,
Of course I do not expect this exponential damping for the next ten 
years !!![Except if stocks follow the WCOM example...]
I just pointed out that Dv is closely related to prices devaluation
The trading future of this simple exponential is not an easy study.
Many models available but the long term experience is poor.
