    Most people cannot read charts (why should they); cannot decipher Fibonacci levels; interpret volume and price correlation (again, why should they). But Fibs are very important to trading - especially forex trading - and if you can't 'read' what the levels mean and where the next Fib level is (approaching), you are likely to blow your account (given the huge leverage in forex) and your head clean off. Not nice, margin calls.:)

    I used to work with a bloke who had been a chartist previously. He reckoned it was a crock of poo too.

    He gave up analysis when he realised that having a couple of pints before starting work at 7am probably wasn't that healthy.

    The Chartists got all their demands, I think, apart from yearly General Elections?

    Wrong sort of chartist. I mean chartist, you mean Chartist.

    I went out with an ex-pat group last night

    Bl**dy Hell, you've only been there a couple of weeks.......you can't be homesick already !!!!

    When we lived in the States, I always steered well clear of the ex-pat community................a load of whinging whining bores !!!!

    BTW when I worked for Marine Midland Bank in the 80's our chief economist was Jim O'Neill (now reincarnated as Dr. James O'Neill from Goldman Sachs) and his favourite line was

    It's not homesickness so much as a desire to meet people. They were a pretty decent bunch as it goes.

    I doubt I'll end up hanging out with English people all the time. I think it's better to assimilate if you can.
