Dennis,

Interesting and honest post -- as always!

you said:

>>... The proper advice would have been to check the 50 DMA on the big caps and see if these stocks bounced off support.

uh..yeah. I've been doing a similar thing, as I hedge selected stocks in the QQQ against my overall QQQ short. I just buy the ones "bouncing off the line" and sell the spikes (a la LVLT a couple days ago).

the Big Idea in the ongoing hedge/short play is that I'm long the "real stocks" -- intc, csco, coms, et al; and short the Fleabays :) in the index.

It's been an interesting dance. To be honest, I'm more "playing with my money" than anything else (because I can, for one reason :) But, in doing it, I've been very aware of the money rotations in the QQQ -- and you're right...the money moves in at the MA "hits" and sells the spikes -- just like we learned in Stock Speculation 101 :-)

Good luck!
