Kha.. I'll forward you post to the programmer. Of course I like you recommendations, some were already mentioned in her assessment and I failed to include them on my recent post. Don't forget there have been a lot of changes in the earnings plays, the most flagrant being the 3-4 week appearance of the calendar in advance, which has its pros and cons..cons of course because there are more plays, pros .. with a little experience and homework you can make the plays work for you time and time again. One quarter ago with only about 8-10 plays in a period of one week it wasn't that necessary to database them so intently. you either bought the stock 1-4 days before earnings or held through earnings or sold at a modest profit. Now choices are more prolific, IPO's have made the field more exciting and the watch lists are really NOT being utilized in their third or fourth days and its a waste since the stock technicals haven't changed, its just a matter of a 'stimulus' not directly connected with the stock (i.e. a problem with an analyst upgrade/downgrade in a stock in same sector, a day when profit taking proliferates, or just about anything external can impact the stocks movement or lack of movement)... A day later the stock will resume its upward trend or break out of resistance (especially if its virtually exploding for a breakout).

This news sounds excellent, Jenna, wtg, you are moving onwards and upwards as usual. For my two cents worth I still think there is real value to an interactive real time chat room where people can post trades and comments as to why they are doing what they are doing. If we were to do this and the room would have a log function then studying those logs would be one of the best ways to learn about trading in general and the market gems approach in particular. Of course, setting up such a room properly is not easy, and may be a future step, and then the best rooms have a good leader, and on and on the challenges go....
