I don't have a problem with the idea that the theoretical discussions on the Ragozin site can be useful- as I have stated many times, I have no respect for the data they provide, and I've gone into great detail as to why, both with discussions of figure making methodology and examples in advance, which have proved out to a very high degree.
But while the current handicapping discussions on the site are okay, I question the value of tapes made many years ago. I haven't heard them, but patterns have changed a lot over the years.
As for the book, take what's in it with more than a grain of salt. I was there for a lot of it, and Connie Merjos, Ragozin's N.Y. trackman for 25 years, the guy who showed Ragozin run-ups and live wind and ground, was so upset when he read it he told me he couldn't sleep for two days. It's just a bit self serving.
