[RT] 9-11 didn't exist

["Ray Raffurty" <r.raffurty@xxxxxxxx>]

9-11 DIDN"T EXIST!!!  It was a giant 
consperancy perpertrated by the airline industre to receive huge government 
bail outs.  In fact the films everyone thinks they saw where created in a 
Hollywood computer animation lab (the same as the films of the moon landings 
where).
 
 
OK, now that I've got your attention, what I mean 
to say is that from a charting / technical analysis point of view perhaps all 
data between 9/11/01 and today 11/13/01 should be deleted.
 
I hope everyone had the courage and means to go 
long (almost anything)  shortly after the market reopened following the 
tragedy of 9-11, but where do we go from here now that many stocks and the 
market in general is back to pre 9-11 levels?  I believe most standard 
indicators whether price based or volume base are drastically skewed due to 9-11 
and the market's recovery.  This is most apparent on daily charts of 6 
month duration or less (see pic 1)
 
One way to accomplish this would be to back up the 
time frame, say to 1 year or longer (pic 2).  The problem here is that this 
may not represent everyone's style of trading.
 
My hypothesis is that all data between 9/11/01 and 
11/13/01(and perhaps even longer as events unfold) should be 
deleted.  Unfortunately I do not have the means to do this at this 
time.  However I think it might be an interesting line of research for 
a magazine article or even a thesis.  In fact one might extend the 
idea to other similar events and develop a trading strategies as the 
result.
 
If nothing else it would make interesting 
conversation at your next cocktail party.
 
Good luck and good trading,
