Not even a bit.

You may want to zoom those charts to show a few years, and you see a very stable trend.
OriginalGriff wrote: then you are an inveterate gambler, rather than an investor
..and I don't need to villify it like that. I don't gamble, and don't own BC. Also, currencies are usually not meant as an investment.
So, if I am neither of those, then what?

I assume you mean technical analysis signals. Even if you mean something else, all of this stuff--even macro--is an attempt to predict the future. And it can't be done. People call it forecasting, but prophesying would be far more accurate.
If you find something that works well for a while, it's like a hot streak at the craps table. The danger is that you'll think it's brains, and the size of your bets will increase with your confidence. And then, one day, your account will blow up.

Telling your suitcase there is to be no vacation this year can be tough.

Haven't seen them in a year. All I want is to see them smile, no more.
Saving for next year, or someone who drives that way.

I do not miss vacation. We never had money for that.
I miss "them".

Because I just tried and ... failed.
It looks like the executives commissioned a "SciFi series like 'The Expanse, man'" but the director made a 70's cop show ... I lasted about ten minutes before deleting the series link.
Gawd, I haven't heard dialog that poor since "Kojak".
It may improve - I can't see how could get much worse - but I ain't hanging around to find out.
Any one else seen it? Agree? Disagree? Taken out a contract on me for maligning the best SF TV series ever?

Given that most IMDB reviews seem to be posted by the directors mates under fake IDs, that's not exactly praise ... 
I don't think it'll get a second run.

Anything with that for a plot description is already one foot in the grave.

My wife loves that series. I bought the box set and she has practically worn the DVDs thin! Brilliant!
