>>On a more philosophical note, a stock can't be overbought or oversold.
There's a finite amount of shares available. When those are all spoken
for, there can be no more buying. Demand exhaustion is a better way to
look at it. Everyone that wants to own at these prices has. And they're
either holding and total interest in the stock dries up, or buyers and sellers
are offsetting each other.

Well, yes, but ...

Just like the Fed reserve requirements allow banks to increase the
money supply by lending out cash, brokerages can inflate the
share supply of stocks by lending out shares to short.

Think about that. I have a lot lately. What does that do to
your point? A weak parallel (maybe) but one to think through
nevertheless. I'm working on that <G>. Thinking, I mean.
I intend the question as serious, not as a challenge to your
points. In short, my answer is "duh," and I'd like a better
one.
