RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The only people that make it in TA are the WritersTX, I will agree with you on the point that if information is held tightly enough by the company and those with boots on the ground it can't be picked up in the colletive knowledge of the market. There absolutely can always be surprises. I know what LoneWolf1 was referring to when he made that statement. Most of the time those in the industry know what is going on because they are right there and not sitting behind a computer monitor trying to figure out the great mystery. Those people in the business are human and they talk among themselves and always tip off friends and family. However that being said if the company has a good enough strangle hold on information yes it can indeed be a surprise to the market. In that case I can't disagree with your statement and I think anyone following TA would agree with that. TA picks up footprints that people leave, but if they work hard at keeping the information under wraps there are no foot prints.
