CHIP HUNTER,

Not a bad strategy to try to play a gap, but a 25% gap up is a big, but not a huge gap- just make sure to keep a tight buy-stop over your short, or buy a short-term call option to cover yourself over the top if CREAF takes off. In this situation I think I'd discount the technical data and focus upon the fundamental broad "across-the -board" advance in CREAF products as revealed by the earnings report. That's a pretty formidable freight train IMO to stand in front of.... Your best bet is if the turmoil in Asian Markets helps you along a little.... Personally though I preferto short a stock which is fundamnentally overvalued such as FAST, than one like CREAF which is undervalued, but just had a big "pop"... Good luck! (Another technique like you use is to short new issues about one week after they are issued...).

Sincerely,

Doug F.
