James, Thanks for that real fast response. Would you be able to provide some advice/guideline on when to get out of a fast moving stock (such as some of your RED HOT 13's)?

I was in CNKT at 1 3/8 on the day it became one of your 13's. But I sold it way below 5 only to see it run all the way to 15! Really can't imagine a stock can run from 0.5 to 15 in few days.

I think/study very hard and come out with something. I hope you don't laugh at it.

1. If it didn't take out day high of last trading day within the first 5-10 mins, get out. I was thinking of get out if it didn't gap, but may be should give it a little time to try.

2. If it gap hard (say more than 30%), place a stop at the opening price.

3. If it gap marginal (say less than 10%), place a stop at day high of last trading day.

Do you think these will help to capture majority of the run?
