FNSR gets better as you look closer. Thanks for this intelligent work. Convincing argument to look forward with confidence through the inevitable market fluctuations.

AOL - Does anyone have a feeling for whether this should be kept thru the stock split on Monday? It has had extraordinary gains - so - better to sell and rebuy after the split or hold for more? Also, where would you place your stop limit? I'm always getting out too soon. thanks, Linda L.

INSP-Better yet, a strong buy signal was signaled when the stock was in the low 40's. More came throughout the 40 area. Those that got in made some considerable money in the coming weeks. I posted on several occasions that this one was signaling one buy signal after another. I saw a number of posts that indicated that others were in there buying and subsequently enjoying their profits. I'm still amazed that it got to the ninety area as quickly as it did. I'd love to see it sell off since I've unloaded all my trading and position shares. Still holding a nearly 30% of my lower cost core shares. I'll pick up more when it triggers some new buy signals at lower levels, however.
