Tony - It's already started. You called it. PB theregister.co.uk Posted 08/09/99 4:05pm by Mike Magee Compaq tries Alpha NT trade in plan Corporate Compaq customers cussing the company for unilaterally dropping NT support on Alpha boxes are being offered a cunning and cute completion to the conundrum they face. According to sources close to Compaq, the large corporations can now trade in their Alpha servers or workstations running Windows NT, after the Big Q canned the platform two weeks ago. A similar plan is currently being floated in Asia, with a trade back option allowing the corporations not to be caught after Compaq abruptly changed its course. The trade-in depends upon how much money individual large businesses have spent on Alpha NT boxes, with the trade up option replacing the system with a Wintel box. The size of the Wintel box depends upon how much Compaq corporate customers have committed to. Users on mainland China are particularly upset about Compaq's U-turn, according to the Newsbytes wire. Whereas Compaq sales of Alpha NT only amounted to two per cent of sales worldwide, something like 15 per cent of sites in Red Chine which needed big servers bought the boxes, and the Alpha NT business plan. ®

As with all investment information, you need to research information and consult your financial advisor before initiating any strategies that are contained in Market Call. Also, you must realize that as with all trading strategies, opinions can change quickly depending on market conditions and developments. This column presents historical examples, potential set ups, and examples of entry and exit strategies. Focus on Exit Drawing Trendlines in a Support and Resistance Channel Support and resistance can take many shapes. Sometimes it is a horizontal line across support and many times it takes the shapes an angled channel. The drawing of the trendlines is basically the same. You draw them across the bottom support. It is a good idea for a trader to be drawing trendlines on their charts to help them visualize these support and resistance areas. The chart below does not have trendlines drawn on them. You should print this chart and draw your own. Let's draw these trendlines on INTEL, (NASDAQ: INTC). On last Friday, INTC broke out to new highs from the previous high of 86 on Thursday. When a stock breaks out, it would be expected that the stock continue to trade higher. In this case, INTC could not hold the gains from Friday and are now in danger of taking out the lows of Friday. This would be a break of a 20 period low. You can also see from the chart below how that many of the indicators that we use are also signaling a Sell on INTC. The MACD actually signaled a Sell yesterday. The Momentum indicator and OBV are also turning down. I would exit longs in INTC. An aggressive trader may want to consider a Short sale here. I would place a stop on a Short sale at 88 ¾.
