Hi Chen: Are you going to tell me were to get that info ? heck mail it to me ifin you don't want to put it online.. I'm working on sumptin too... Money chasing stocks runs up the price ..inflow/outflow of savings into mutual funds has more to do with which stocks go up and which go down, have you noticed how often a dog can go up in the face of bad news or a good one down on good news..got to track the mutual funds and their holdings to get a feel for it..I'm setting up a large program at this time to see what I can come up with.. Was busy today..my puts on Scop sold when I wasn't looking.. also AS sold..heck just bought her friday...put in another buy order at 3-3/4..I'm getting almost like a SOES bandit.. with my trades only costing $12 what the heck..I'm not above skimming an 1/8..<G> But with options I can't get in and out that cheap..so I have to get at least a 1/4; then with the time premium..and the spread the bookies put in..I'm making more money just trading in and out of the beat down small caps, than I am with options. Lots of people over look things like SPCO was selling at $2 thursday..she has had a 25% run up since then. alas I missed getting her thursday as I was bidding 1-15/16.. but you got to trade cheap on the penny stocks or commisions will eat you up..how ever if you can trade cheap..the percentage is good and you don't have time working aginst you..buy the sucker put a sell price on it then forget it till it sells. Last thing tho..do a all or none on the buy/sell ifin you don't want to wind up getting just a part order filled..and having to pay more commisions..depending on the stock...I use 1000 or less size bites if on the NAZ, so the SOES bandits can trade em , they become my friends in that respect. Try to get some ECO @5-7/8...it should be good for a fast 3/8 Try AS @3-3/4..CMMD @2-1/5 jus let em sit till they tick down, cch @11/16 AZ @ 3/8..if you don't get em nothing lost. They are all good for 1/8 or a little better and you seldom have to hold them very long..if SPCO ticks back to 2-1/4 grab it ( half.).then if she goes to 2 again double up..need to go work on my short ( put ) list for tomorrow..xcit ticked up today..hmmm if she goes up another point puts will be in order..I'll likly bid 3/8 below the bid in the morn jus in case she go that way. Jim
