Allan, I wasn't following the close on it, so I can't tell what the final b/a was. It looks like it might've closed with its little cat-butt kissing the day's low on the bid: bigcharts.com Note the volume sandwich of 8/4-yesterday; that's good; note, however, that 8/4 was itself a puny little signal bigcharts.com which would have probably netted the disciplined fancier a break-even result/commission loss: Those have been frequent enough this correction. In short, no, I wouldn't get in this today. Easy enough to say, of course, when the stock's doing nothing at 2:19 on a day when everything else is up 97 million percent. Ivan

LSN Allan, Here's a cat with a purrrfect signal history. bigcharts.com All exits are based on the Volume Signal +1 Method: You wait for a post-signal day with significantly higher volume, then get out early the next day, which quite often has an additional 5 to 10% carry-through from the signal day's exuberance: It started with a weak, failed signal on 12/21/98; commission loss, plus a few ticks. Then it started mewling like a MOFO: 12/31, otherwise known as the Day of the Cats (tax-sellers make for great exhaustion bottoms, particularly stupid ones who don't know they have until the following 4/15 to take the loss--exactly the ones you want out of the way): It was good for Dough's 28% on the nose (Well, alright, 27.94%). It was good again on 2/18, for 25% in two days. Then again on 3/16, for 19%. Then again on 4/5, this time for 90%. Then again on 6/16, for exactly 30%. (All figures, of course, are optimal trading. I'm always happy to get half of the move, and usually settle, punk that I am, for about 25%.) Anyway, it hit the new low Friday, and stayed on it, much as it has prior to setting up two of the above signals. It's a must watch on Monday. If it signals with volume greater than on 8/6 bigcharts.com (which, BTW, only tied a previous low), the plan is simple: 1) Mortgage the house; 2) Kidnap the children and call their grandfather with an ugly voice resonant with dese's and dose's; 3) Using all funds raised, stolen, or extorted, buy on a tick one or two up from the low ... blahblahblah 4) Sell at the opening the day after volume significantly higher than ... blahblahbleatablah 4) Develop a certain flair for Cuban cigars, 48-year-old Highlands malts, blahbleatblahbleatblahbliffpassmethekiff ... and See you in September. Keep an eye on the House, partner. Ivan
