Baumring & Cycles Just to add that I have seen the Baumring course and met the man himself. Cowan's books are simple compared to this stuff. It is full of Sacred Geometry and you need to understand the basics of this first. For longer term cycle analysis you might like to try Samuel Benner's...

Tax - Case Law on Speculation I would be a bit careful here. In Wisdom (as in Norman Wisdom the comedian) v Chamberlain the judge actually classed speculation in buying silver to avoid a devaluation of sterling as "an adventure in trade". This was therefore classed as income. So it is a grey...

Delta Phenomena & the Market Matrix Trendie: Thanks for the comments. I have since found an interview from 1986 with WW saying that this was discovered in 1983. I think maybe I was offered the higher membership/directorship when it came out and then the book came out later. Your price seems...

The cost and problems of Delta I don't know if my memory is failing me but I think that the original cost of the Delta system is getting blurred. As far as I can remember the book was originally published about 20 years ago and the cost was about the same at just over $100. It may be a bit...

Bradley Cowan In a buying spree while in the City I purchased these (The 4 Market Science books) along with a load of other software and books about 6 or 7 years ago. They had been recommended to me as the best TA books ever written (something I disagree with). I did some initial work on them...

Correction by me - How about a correction by them In post #31 on this thread I stated that from memory the £10 spread bet which is mentioned on MM's website would have required a margin of over £100,000. I have checked with the exchange and on that day, the exchange minimum margin requirements...

:D R4 Thanks for your comments. They are not the first nor will they be the last to include a contract roll in their P&L by mistake.

The reality of trading on a contract roll Robster4: Thanks for forwarding the information onto Steve but I am afraid I must disagree with his comment about the trade being "valid because he always trades the continuous contract”, unless he uses a spreadbetting company which is making a huge...

Clarification As I said it wasn't a general knock at the product, I accept that traders are finding it of use albeit with some serious work on their part. This is not a bad thing. To clarify my point, if any product is marketed giving examples of how well it performs, it really should make sure...

I don't want anyone to take this as a general knock against the Market Matrix but the main "killer" profit example shown on their website just didn't happen. The claim is that Soybeans fell from 10.35 to 7.94 in one day. The 10.35 price was the high on 7th July 04 for the July contract. The low...

Useful if you want to view the investment potential on a share (i.e 50 to 100 is double and 100 to 200 is doubled again). For other analysis I have never bothered and it seems to make things more complicated than it needs to be. I would make an exception in the case of long term charts. For...
