just curious if anyone who pays big bucks to put it on CNBS has something other than a sales pitch.

Claims "90% correct on weekly forecasts... and that you should make 25% per year".. If it was really 90% accurate, the returns would be much, MUCH greater than 25%.

Looked into it. The problem with the methodology is that there is no
methodology. The guy will say that the high of x date will be greater
than the lows of x date (duh!). He then connects the highs and lows as if
the system caught the high and low.

There are some interesting theories surrounding gravity and the stock
market, but I'm not impressed. Sounds systematic, but it's not.

I don't make predictions, I just react.

That sounds more like Xyber9 than Zygo5.

Xyber9 is based on gravity.
