Boyd,

You say:

"Indeed, a chart is a chart is a chart. As you know, if you plot any non-random event on a barchart, you can use chart-reading techniques to predict whether the chart is likely to rise or fall, whether it's the population density of monarch butterflies or the birthrate of Mongolian Buddhists."

Do you know where I can get "proof" that shows this statement is actually true. Like you, it's not that I question it. But I would like to show the brilliance (and accuracy) of this statement in the revisions to my book Timing the Real Estate Market.

Can you give me some guidance? I would be grateful.
