Yup. Seems to me that there's a kind of metabolism to any stock's ascent. It rises, then retraces then consolidates, again and again and again. Stocks must take breathers. What others see as short term weakness is actually a sign of strength, as it builds a solid foundation in a certain trading range and then is ready to pop again.

"the pre-earnings run-up" i'm beginning to wonder if we'll actually see one, in the truest sense. there are more than 12,000 open interest contracts at Jan.137 1/2. gotta believe the marketm'krs would love to see those go up in smoke. we're already at 140, so it wouldn't take much to wipe those folks, and everyone with strikes above them, out at expiration. then there are only 2 trading days between January expiration and the numbers actually coming out. 150 could look like a goldmine by the 25th.

Rocketman, have you ever heard of a TA program called dynamic traders? it uses elliot wave,etc. for signals. I would like to learn about TA to time my buys better and am looking for a TA program to help me look for signals. i called AIQ and the lady told me that the program cant be followed by the signals. I asked what signal the software generated for Qcom for nov/dec. she said it signaled to buy Qcom in november and then to sell about 2 weeks later, and that the program wasnt designed to follow to the letter, the sell signals. so had you followed the program, you would have missed out on the big run up . well, what is the difference in this and buying and holding for say 1-3 years on good quality gorilla stocks ,like Qcom,jdsu,etc. it seems like a waste of money to spend $1,300 on AiQ systems software when they tell you up front that you cant follow the signals on when to sell? any thoughts?
