CSRE is one of a limited stocks I don't understand its trading pattern,(the rest I understand all right I just can't trade them <gg>) however it looks like its getting ready to move. The best I can tell is the $6- 6 1/2 range. If its the institutions, watch it Friday afternoon. Pros buy late in the day and late in the week. Any and all T/A advice on MWAR welcome.

Mike: When a buying a ripe banana is a long term investment, you tend to miss some great moves. Before becoming a short term trader, I used to sell 25% to 50% of a position when it seemed to stall after moving up, and not sell the other portion unless it broke a long term trendline or lost a sizable percentage of the gain. As I look back on both those swing positions and the many short term trades this year which have gone on to double, triple or more - I realize how much I've left on the table by failing to let my profits (or a portion of them) run. Money management is my next objective to improve on. Van Tharp has some interesting suggestions on the subject, but we all can share thoughts. Like you, I exited a sizable position in VRTL. If I'd held 30%, I'd be driving a new car with vanity plates that said VRTL. Oh well, I wasn't holding OXHP or BREX or VISX when they tanked, so perhaps it evens out. Tomorrow's watch ELOT, BWTS, BIOM, DDIM, MCLL, ALLP ATIS, RACE, ADRN (first and last 2 may pop a bit). Peace and Justice --- Patrick
