Hi Dave,

I have read the reduced posting frequency as a kind of maturity in the
group.  It is as though we now know what the game plan is and are helping
each other execute it, so it is less and less necessary to talk about the
plan.  For example:  we read the market as having a follow through day and
we then had a few posts regarding what stocks were breaking out and what
groups looked promising.  This in no way covered all of the good breakouts
or ripe looking chart patterns, of course, but there is no way we can do
that for each other.  People desiring that should purchase a service such as
Brookins Buys.

I personally like the reduced posting frequency ... there seems to be less
to read and a higher quality of posts.  This does not necessarily help the
new members of our group get up to speed, and I would encourage them to ask
questions (most here are glad to help as time permits, as anyone who has
been a member for a while knows).  Additionally, they can use the extra time
to (re)read O'Neil's book and peruse the archives which have lots of good
posts for learning from (and, admittedly, lots and lots of less good stuff
to wade through as well).

There will always be those who "graduate" from the group for whatever reason.

We also do get away from Canslim quite a bit these days, but, I for one
enjoy the varying ideas, from Connie's "TA workshops" to Tom's microcaps and
"state of the economy" reports. I guess since we are a self-policing group,
those who wish to, should continue to complain about that type of post when
the frequency gets too high.  I always appreciate any prod to refocus on
"pure" Canslim. And I do pay the MOST attention to what I think of as the
"more or less strictly Canslim" purists in our group like yourself, Peter
Christians, Peter Newell, sam, Brian Nash, Mike Lucero, James Adams, Patrick
Wahl, Frank Wolynski, and many others who do not come to mind at the moment.

However, I must admit, that there are lots and lots of posts, that I skip
altogether or give up on after a sentence or two.  And strangely enough,
this one fits that category, sorry, ;^).  I am rambling.  A true sin when
bandwidth (reading time) is narrow.  The less "noise" the better.

Best regards,
Craig

Then they show you ANOTHER 5 honor cards, all different from the first 6. Of course yours has disappeared, ALONG WITH all others that were originally on the screen. But you don't notice because you hadn't paid attention to the other 5 aside from yours. Try it again jotting down the list of all six original cards. Hate to spoil your fun, but you asked for it.

I'm replying privately instead of to the list, since this is off topic. I'll admit the card trick is 'tricky'. If you look carefully, by using the browser's "Back" and "Forward" buttons, you'll see that NONE of the cards is the same. For each of the illusions #1 and #2, the first screen has 6 cards, and the last screen has 5 cards, which tells your mind that something's missing. When you don't see your card, you ASSUME that your card is the only one missing. The strength of the illusion lies in the fact that for each of the card combinations (first or last screen), there are at most TWO cards of any given rank, and both cards of the same rank ALWAYS have opposite SUIT COLORS Red and Black. Diamonds and Hearts are Red, and Clubs and Spades are Black, so there are four allowed Red and Black suit combinations. One example is Hearts (Red) and Clubs (Black); the remaining combination is Diamonds (Red) and Spades (Black). For each of the pairs of cards in the first screen, the second screen card(s) of the same rank will be taken from the remaining pair of suits. Since the final card(s) are Red and Black just like the first pair (no longer visible to you), and IF you only chose (and remember) only ONE card, you lack enough information to detect the trick. How did I crack it? Well, I admit I saw both card tricks, saw the first one a second time (choosing a different card), and then struck on the idea of choosing TWO cards (since, if only one card is taken, as assumed, the other will be left) - and discovered NEITHER was there. Thanks for the challenge - it brightened my day! By the way, I enjoy your global market perspectives. I'm studying investing at present, and eventually hope to apply some of what I learn here.
