>>More criteria to be taken into account before we set out rules of entry for earning plays>>> It has a lot to do with criteria of historical price patterns, is the stock within a tight or lose trading channel? Is the sector on a popular roll? General Market timing is very important as well. Now a new crop of criteria are sprouting so we have to learn as we we trade. Very massive influctions of money by venture capitalists in new and exciting markets are bringing hiherto unknown stocks into the the forefront. In my opinion they will probably influence the watch list plays (momentum plays) before they influence the earnings plays (high revenue/sales and analyst recognition). The deep penetration of Japan, Korea, Finland, Canada, Latin America, Europe (remember FREE), will cause these stocks to move simply because thier potential audience is huge and their valuations are still rather small compared to their peer companies in the states. I think the year 2000 will be fraught with telecommunications stocks rushing to provide speed, bandwidth and internet access will be cheaper than than now. On the other hand DVD and digital video is becoming more an expected 'toy' for the audiophile, myself included. You should have seen the $6,000 SONY digital TV in BBY.. I couldn't tear myself away. Cable phones and chip makers will proliferate and so we will have another cycle of prosperity. If you notice the watch lists have more 'news and information' than usual so you can get a better idea of the rationale behind the stock pick. That is why I really implore you to watch them more than 1 day. You could see that both EBNX and PRGY did not move yesterday but did rather well oday. There will be more eanrings plays this week (tomorrow and tonight if I can find time) to add to the 'used' plays of the January 12 and 13th. I still have more that I have not posted. We are still in the midst of perfecting the new earnings calendar and I would expect it to be ready and able before the new year. We are about 75% of where we want to be with the earnings calendar. By January 1 we should have a makeshift place for intraday updates that will serve as a transition to our new location on another website.
