bubba,

we’ll just continue to go our seperate ways how about, like I said above, use whatever works for you in the markets, if it’s not TA, fine.

I’d suggest in the future when you are trying to prove a point, you don’t link to a book that goes against what you are trying to tell us or to use an author that does not agree with your argument. You never read that book did you? It helps explain the back tracking you did with AT above.

Why the hostility bubba? What does it matter to you? geez

okie, well that clears it up for me. it would make sense that you’re also into creationism. there’s no point “arguing” any further.

but can we at least agree that rabbits do not breed according to the fibonacci sequence? no living creature for that matter does this. think about it for a second. It was Fibonacci’s THOUGHT EXPERIMENT. geez.

oh and bubba,

in that book you suggest, which I have owned for a few years, starting on page 96 livio introduces the fibo sequence with the rabbit breeding example, and funny you rip the creationist debate as well seeing as how he has also written a book called:

Is God A Mathematician?

did you actually read that book?

bubba,

I’d suggest you take your own advice, believe what you want to believe and leave it at that.

I’ve seen the golden ratio pop up in writings by M.A. I’m more into trying to figure out the trend. Anything that I believe can give me an early warning is what I use. Now can someone explain trading using VWAP?

ben ben ben ben ben

fibonacci #s, while having very interesting MATHEMATICAL properties, are alas overated and has very little real verifiable application outside of the mathematical realm. Ditto for the so called golden ratio. see this for starter:

http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Ratio-Worlds-Astonishing-Number/dp/0767908163

And those breeding rabbits….it was a “thought experiment” to illustrate the MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES of the fibonacci sequence.

as for the so called “arguments” between creationists and evolutionists…there’s really no argument to speak…one is base on blind faith the other on a series of testable and proven hypothesis

good night
