The difference is the time value of money. If you own cash
S&P you collect the dividends. The forward always trades at a
discount to reflect this difference. Over the next 90 days they
will converge to each other.

I have been a subscriber for the last 11 months and I am very
skeptical of how he approaches the market. He would not consider a
buy in March and shorted the market 3 or 4 times in the Spring only
to be stopped out. Now we have the never ending bull - gimme a
break! I will let my subscription lapse in September and renew here

I use log scale to look at charts that have broad price ranges
over long time frames.
ABT will be just fine using arithmetic IMHO. Others might have
different opinions. Over time and many many charts you develop a
comfort level - time frame indicators etc. I use the same
indicators on all my charts and then look a the stock in many
different time frames. Look at a ten year weekly of ABT then a 3
year weekly then a 3 year daily then a one year daily and so on to
5 or 15 min charts. Find the time periods you feel most comfortable
with. ABT has lot history so you could use it hone your TA
skills.

That is possible. I just think it is the normal ebb and flow of
the market. When it exceeds the 61.8% level in a time frame
something has changed. So far this is looking pretty normal on t 5
min chart.

I second that.
I have been at this for more than 40 years now and I have been
here just a few months but what Matt and Steve do in my experience
makes the word extraordinary an understatement!
