Ivan,

Now I'm confused about the requirements for the 30% gap down.

BTW, By my charts, MMGC and SSAX did not gap.

MMGC closing price 6 5/8 on 12/8. Open on 12/9 at 5. -25% opening gap. Low for the day at 4 giving a total range for the day of -40%, and a close to close loss of 34%

SSAX has similar percentage numbers.

Are you saying that the gap itself must be 30% or greater and additionally be entirely clear of the previous day's low or the gap day's high? I've been looking for stocks that close 30% down and have a significant gap. This is what I interpret from Doug's excellent post from yesterday where he says "30% gap from one day to the next", implying not more than one day.

Enlighten me on this point.

Esteban

PS. No question about VVUS, that's for sure.

PSS.. TSEMF giving a signal today if it rallies from today's low. I know you want to steer clear of the semis, but as a pure PGDCEB play I don't think we should additionally filter the candidates, at least as far as paper tracking goes.
