Bill Shakespeare had a nice few lines on technical anaysis:
We at the height are ready to decline.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures. (Julius Caesar, IV.ii.269–276)
Happy 2008, Rawdon. I see your poetic streak is still active.
Those red and green ones certainly look nerve racking. Are they Darjeeling or Formosa?
