[Websman]

Webs, only if I don't have to shake your hand.

No, seriously, it sounds like fun, and I appreciate the invite, but I'm afraid next month is out of the question. It's going to be a very busy month for me, and I will not be able to escape even for a weekend.

Maybe next time Dude...

Park, how could that Pete guy have a list of the nine ugliest cars and not even have one Citroen on there? Take a look at this DS11. Ugly, ugly!

Pete got a few of 'em right, though I wouldn't have put some of those on the list.

Edit: p.s. My apologies to anyone reading this who owns one. No offense but I just think it's an ugly car.

[ParkTwain]

that photo is very a propos, it looks like some kind of strange boat.

The ugly list at least got started right, with the Gremlin and the Pacer. The Aztec is also a good choice. And what about that Scion wagon that looks exactly like a box on wheels?

When I was a kid in the 50's I always thought the Studebaker was ugly:

excel momentum calculator

Here is an Excel chart for “momentum” on the S&P 500 since July 14. I have observed that when the “momentum” exceeds 70, the index rallies quite nicely. For stocks, the momentum number is closer to 78. Any comments? The calculations are below.


(I'll post the table here later)

Mimo,
I would appreciate it if you would post the exact directions for moving this to an excel file and then how to set it up and use it. If that's not to much work. Thanx.

ski,

I had to chop a lot of stuff off in order to get it to fit in the zip size set by Karel. Look in the "Reference" section.

Thanks. I've been teaching myself the basics of using Excel and would love to be able to use this type of sheet. I'll definitely look into it and get back to you with any questions.

Ski, my version of Excel is 2000. If you're using a different version, the precise steps you need to take may differ a little from these below, but this should get you close enough to figure out the rest.

1. Highlight just the numbers.
2. Right-click.
3. Copy.
4. Open Notepad.
5. Paste.
6. Save to desktop (or folder of your choice) with a name such as numbers.txt.
7. Open new workbook in Excel.
8. Select Open from File pop-up menu.
9. At the bottom of the dialog box, select Text Files in "Files of Type".
10. Navigate to folder where your file is and open the file.
11. In the Text Import Wizard, select the "Delimited" radio button.
12. Click Next.
13. Click Next again.
14. Click Finish.
