I'm going to check the charts tonight, so I'll get back to you, but WFT, DO and ESV look good to me for starters. I'm still loaded up on OS stocks, so I have to make some allocation decisions before I decide to buy more.

Diana, I took a very quick look at the charts (Bills are on tonight, so I'm not focused on stocks). Virtually every chart is the same. This sell-off is playing out very much like May-June, so I think we get a rally for a few days starting tomorrow or after the API's. Then, I would look for a more gradual sell-off for a week or two, at least. In some instances, that sell-off should take the stocks slightly below the lows of last week; in other instances, the stocks may come close but not exceed those lows. At that point, I should see some macd divergences on the daily charts. In my view, it is a roll of the dice as to whether you get a better price now or in a couple of weeks. I think you could choose OS stocks almost at random at that point and do as well as someone who spends hours on fundamental analysis. But my personal preference if I buy more OS will be for OSX components -- I feel the funds prefer these issues. I'm loaded with FLC, so I probably won't buy more of that. I prefer drillers and service companies, but GLBL is very intriguing as a bang-for-the-buck candidate.

Would Everyone Please Be Nice to Slider? He may not be with us much longer. It's already the middle of Oct and MEXP is far below $5. Slider has promised to never post on SI again if MEXP doesn't hit $5 by Christmas (Or is it year's end?) Btw, I think old timers here will agree that, incredible as this might seem, Slider is much less abusive and personally insulting than he was last year. He's tempered the venom considerably. Still a ways to go before you reach civility, tho, Slider. Oh!---That reminds me-- Slider, A while back I suggested to another poster that the way to deal with 'Hype' was not to call for the removal of the poster but to question his reasoning/facts. You called me a hypocrite, and at the time it made no sense to me (English not being my first or best language I often bump into usages that puzzle me) but later I realized you meant that I was being hypocritical because I had on several occasions been one of those who turned you in to SI Administration for posting insults and personal abuse toward others, and as a result you had been warned or temporarily lost posting privileges. --But to me, and I think to others also, there is a big difference between hyping a stock and insulting and demeaning others. Big difference. The 'Terms of Use' are available on most every page. Here's a snip:<<<<"... you subject yourself to possible suspension and/or termination if you do any of the following: ... Use Silicon Investor for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, harassing, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortuous, improper or otherwise objectionable. ...">>>> Violations can be reported to SI Administration by email or by PM to an administrator. Anyone who has a gripe, Please do this rather than subject the board to a mud-slinging battle. But before it comes to that, let's all let by-gones be by-gones and try to have an amicable board. That's really better for us all -- disagreeing amicably. Better, that is, unless there is some greater internal reward from arguments and insults being flung back and forth. Let's not go there again, OK guys? regards, diana
