  1. Huh? If I know something happens 80% of the time that is sufficient basis to expect it to occur again, no?

    GOOD points; not sure any analysts has ever helped me except Jim Cramer or Top Traders @ jack Schwager book . Those are maybe not analysts in the strictest sense.
    Mainly , dont trade junk that doesnt profit you/ for me that's single stocks...........
    So WE dont really '' know ''\
    so look @ the flow\
    see how it does grow/
    better have to much ammo/
    + that we do know/Top trader hedge funder/ told jack Schwager/ dont run out of bullets/ the the elephant walks by LOL:D:D Rhyme zone helped in that zone

  4. I wouldn’t classify those guys as analysts in the traditional sense. What is portrayed on TV is pretty different from what actual analysts and portfolio managers do.

    Use of the word will in reference to something happening 80% of the time. Will is for the most past thought of a certainty. Maybe you consider 80% to be that. I don't and all that I'm questioning.

  6. I think you’re wrapping yourself around a game of semantics. Catalysts are informational events, as in, 100% of the time material information is released.

    BS - you initially claimed to know in advance something that will happen, now its 80% of the time might happen.

    Word play is not on my part.

  8. %%
    EXACTLY\sure would be\for me.[Except 80% failure rate on small business would not stop me from a small business\even with all the Wall St fees \seldom do small business etf IWM or related \40% sell rate by barchart.com.]
    QLD is 72% buy much closer to 80%, not in that now
    88% can work well up JAN UP = up market 88% of the time; of course when that 88% fails like /2009\1987= big trend trainwreck on the wrong side ============================:D:D

  10. I made a hypothetical because I was being charitable and didn’t realize you were going to play semantics lol.
