The June watch list (up till June 22) will be added to the Market Gems Archives tonight. We are removing the April Watch lists and now we have May and June.. However April will still be availabe on the Excite Search engine. I don't think more than 3 months is necessary. And I repeat most new members are now premium (getting both the watch list and newsletter) so I'll be spending extra time on the thread with buy triggers on both. By now you should know that the newsletter picks complement the watch list picks because they are 'earnings driven' and fundamentals rule. They will MOVE IN A DOWN NASDAQ and DOW market and come in very handy on a lackluster day. BUT entry and exit are determined by technical analysis. This is the key that will keep us from holding through earnings 75% of the time (i.e. COMS ) of course VRTY would have been fine holding but either that will fall in the 25% or just lucky. Holding through earnings is safest when the stock is about 85-90% of its 52 week high, too close and the stock has more of a chance to sell off 70-75% is okay also since the stock will probably rebound now that earnings have come out. Holding a large cap tech stock through earnings is the most dangerous of all, since the eyes of the world are on this stock and any 'disappointment' of lofty goals will knock the stock to 20% loss. ORCL worked out because it came back from being slaughtered but COMS was hit because more was expected of it.
