Managing all the input and setting alerts - Can you refer me to a previous posting or a page on the Market Gems website for some practical tips in becoming The Complete Gemmer? For example, I have set my screen to display fours days of the WL - current and prior three - in live quotes. In addition, I have a column of picks from the message board and your late-night notes to all of us. So I am fully armed on the 'morrow, so to speak.

The difficulty, of course, is sorting through all the input. Should I set alerts on ALL the stocks that are somnolent, say an alert for all stocks up 2.5%. Or look for,say, 150% increase in average daily volume?

I missed CATT yesterday. The big one that got away. Saw your post at 10:47, printed a chart using the DailyGraphs service from IBD, and just looked at it. My mistake was focusing too much on the pattern of a large volume spike and a 90 degree price increase. I didn't focus on the pattern of slow and steady growth. I was looking for the big institutional "hit". I have posted the chart in front of my trading desk now to remind me that there are other patterns to look at,, instead of a hard right angle.

SGNT - a recent IPO which has shown some activity recently. I'm holding it, I think it will move again. Just my opinion.

I missed APNT waiting for the pullback that never came. It doubled in one week, nice and steady. Made me cry.

CACS - bought after seeing your discussion of it. In at 35 1/2 and out at 41. THANK YOU!

Back to the main topic - how do we handle and sort through the volume of inputs? I want to hire a relative to just look at charts all day to spot breakouts.
