Lagrangian Point, Depression and VIX Golf balls.
Physics and Engineering in Stock Market TA

In this Sunday's update, Terry Laundry, former Marine & radar engineer, discusses the market's current resting place near 1100 and compares it to a Lagrangian Point, named after the Italian-French mathematician who pointed it out, Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813).
http://en.wikipedia....agrangian_point

He thinks that since the market could not crash on Friday's bad news, that the market can hold this area, but any rally will be a bear market rally with a maximum top around the 1157 (and falling) envelope top..
T THEORY Update August 1st:

Commentary on Inflation vs Deflation: (He thinks here's a lot of "CROOKERY" going on in here based on recent effort in the news to talk down bonds and talk up stocks and the economy by paid market shills and Charlatans.)


And while the engineers have the spotlight, check out the McClellan Learning Center.
It offers some interesting articles, including one from last week on the VIX and it's relationship to dimpled golf balls and air flow, smooth and layered or rough and volatile.

wikipedia says Italian-French. He was French for 1/8 as the father of his grand father was French. He was born in Turin as Giuseppe Lodovico Lagrangia. Obviously the surname is of French origin as the father of his grandfather was. Given that grand-grand parents are exactly 8 and just one was French, it seems to me he should be called Northern italian from Turin. He was a giant, like Newton was for phisics

I don't follow Terry. How have his calls been past few?

It seems to me that engineering/math types
are attracted to technical analysis. I think
they like the lines and the waves and the
cycles and the ratios. They think they are
herding cattle, but they are herding cats.

It seems that Marty liked his work.
However Terry is not a day trader but manages money based on longer term stuff.

PS: Ask me after August 26th.
That's his big date with infamy.

what is laughable is that Lagrangia-Lagrange was born in Turin which in italian is Torino and means ''bull'' of small height. The name is after the people named Taurinii, a Gaulish tribe living in North Western italy well re-knowned for their.......... bulls. So the bull's end is confirmed by using the theory of one born in ''little bull'' town BTW Terry ''T'' Laundry has missed the top which was on april 26. His top will be a secondary one

:lol: :clap:


"BTW Terry T has missed the top which was on april 26. His top will be a secondary one"
Yes I think he had a mid May top.
However he has been overall bearish for some time based on the lack of a "cash build-up" phase, which his theory relies on to project future rallies.
That's the big reason he sees a big down after August 26th, if not sooner.

In the very shortest of time frames cash buildups are as useful as fundamentals. Basically meaningless. In the longer term they determine the direction overall. I find technicals and sentiment extremes most useful in the shorter term. That's where Terry uses envelope theory to try to determine likely price targets. T Theory does not address price, just time.
