    I have been a subscriber for the last 2 years, my subscription just ran out, and I will not be renewing.  If you were to follow his primary trend indicators, you would not have done too badly, but if you actually read his commentary, he is almost always ultra bearish and tends to make you ignore his own technical indicators. I have to say he has moderated his approach some lately and hedges his bets a lot more, because many of his calls for major drops have been busts.

    His solution to our economic problems is to have the federal government rebate several years worth of income taxes to the middle income taxpayers.  Even if this would work, it is so far out of the realm of possibility, what's the point of suggesting it?

    He also includes a lot of cycle turn indicators based on Fibonacci numbers of trading days and other sources. There are enough of them so that when a big move does happen it will be close to something he has cited.  I have not found this part of his site to be of any value.

    Better to give my hard-earned money to Wall Street Banks than let me keep it, right?  What IMO is "so far out of the realm of possibility", is the fact that Americans care more about the NFL than paying attention to the out of control shadow government that has hijacked our great Republic so many brave souls fought and died for.

    jtverr - sorry, not taking that bait.  I respect your opinion, and agree that Mchugh has made some good calls, ie precious metals, along with others that are either wrong or premature.  In terms of trading knowledge and useful advice, this website is head and shoulders above McHugh or anything else I have found.  If I have learned anything in the last few years it is that no one has all the answers, and that keeping an open mind about what may transpire is key.

    Not trying to bait anyone.  If you ask Matt or Steve, they may even tell you that they read McHugh AND EWI.  I don't know for sure, but I would if I were them.  When people post from these two sources, I just find it frustrating to see all the bashing, that's all.

    Someone brought up McHugh's opinion that the American people should recieve tax relief rather than bailing out Wall Street and I happen to agree with it.

    Ok, understood.  My point was not that I disagree with McHugh about the need to support the middle class.  I actually agree with him on that.  I just don't think suggesting that the federal government rebate several years of taxes to the middle class all at once is a realistic option.
