Herm: Glad to hear all is "well" by you. Great outline of ROST. Your last line or so of your post indicates discussion on MARGIN. Sounds like that may touch on my questions to you on my posts 11498 and 11502. I await . . . and appreciate . . . your latest "nuggets", and help on my questions. Again, do it when it is appropriate.

I came in at the end of the last round on ROST and waded through the whole thing back then. I have to say that it was a great learning experience. Since then I have been learning more and trying to find indicators and a strategy that I am comfortable with. I would like to share some slightly different timing indicators and how I interpret them as we follow this through again. I welcome any and all views expressed, especially differing ones. I hope to be able to refine my methods and learn even more from the great discussion on this board. I would also like to say to all who contribute here, thanks. This is by far the best group of posters in one place that I have come across in my 2 1/2 years on the web. My indicators are telling me that it is not quite time to get in. I am primarily looking at MACD for the current trend and Stochastics for short-term signaling. What I am waiting for is the MACD to indicate a current uptrend and that uptrend to hold through the down side of a Stochastics cycle as confirmation. My hesitation is that MACD has not verified the end of the downtrend that was signaled at the beginning of August. The good news is that it could be close. The Stochasics bottomed at the start of September indicating a short-term oversold condition. That would be a buy signal for an uptrending stock but it is ambiguous for one that is downtrending or nuetral. The interesting thing is that it only made it about half way back up before heading back down in the last week. So it is moving towards being oversold again but the price may be holding up at the same time. I would have to wait on this one for now.
