ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Stocks & Commodities V. 23:6 (16-22): Something Darvas, Something New by Daryl Guppy In the May 2005 STOCKS & COMMODITIES, Daryl Guppy discussed classic Darvas-style trading.

In a raging bull market, it is easy to forget that markets make us pay for our mistakes. In a bull market, the rules are loose, the fools are many, and money seems inexhaustible.
