Larry, some data from past Kurlak "anti-touts" is as follows: ****************************** August 13, 97: Prev. close was 49.75 Opened gap dn at 44, hit low of 41.69 for the day at 10:24, but had a low of 41.18 at 10:18 the following day. The only "anti-tout" that had a lower low other than day of a-tout. Five days later, MU hit 48.13 ***************************** Dec 16, 97 (day of report) Prev. close was 22.5 Opened gap dn at 22, and had low of 22 at 9:38, and 7 min. later was at 24! 3 days later, MU had high of 27.5 ***************************** Jan 16, 98. Prev. close was 31.56 Opened gap dn at 30, and had low of 28.5 at 10:38. 4 days later, MU had high of 33.75 **************************** Feb 11, 98. Prev. close was 37 Opened gap dn at 35.88, and had low of 35.38 at 9:45. One day later, MU had high of 38.06 **************************** May 15, 98. Prev close was 28.5 Opened gap dn at 28, and the low, so far, of 27.43 at 11:00 *************************** Will MU bounce again over the next 5 days, as it has on the previous 4 a-touts? The odds are that it will. Patrick Larry, the option open interest is still 30, but less than 3000 contracts over 27.5, so don't expect to see a big influence. As for my trades, I have been killed over the last 2 days, but that is water under the bridge. Looking for expectations of the next 5 days, and I am expecting a bounce from today's low of 27.43.
