[RT] Unnoticed thoughts

Trading Reference Links

I think I have answered all of your questions and you are entitled to
disagree.

As far as Merriman, what you linked is not what I referred to. I did a
careful analalyzation of all his signals and he averaged 2% per year
higher per year than the funds I used to compare. It was a lot of work to
pluck the data and correlate. Check it out if you like. At this point this
is much ado about a passing phase.

That link may refer to his management of client money using certain
funds...and for some reason he does not do that very well. I would not
even hazard a guess. It does not corelate his signals. Involvement often
makes managers perform differently and emotionally.

Sincerely,

John

What I do know is I went 100% long in mid March and he signalled 100 %
long in April.
