Rande, I think Joe Smith made a good point in saying that our efforts to try and accurately predict this volatile market have been mostly all for naught. Especially where concerned with picking the bottom of a prolonged downtrend.

For as much difficulty as I have had with stops, sometimes they are utterly indispensable. Yesterday afternoon was a fine example. I was able to flip my long positions at first sign of no rate cut and made several successful scalps shorting up to and after the close.

FWIW: I'm holding APOL short overnight from 44. They beat the street yesterday morning and traded up 25% on the day.

It's a jungle out there...

Stay nimble,
Dave
