Carl, thanks for the Barron's article. you are not out of place .....Tom is a lighting fast trader, I sometimes wonder if he holds anything longer than a week -vbg- and we may end up being fairly active in the trading area. I have done a lot of short-term trading as well. both short and long-term thinking goes into the calculus. I use the 50 dma a lot as well. and I understand just what you mean by being extended too far above a given Moving average. Here is a 10 year chart of the NASD that I created and posted on the Players Club, Myth thread back in mid Dec. geocities.com we actually got more than 42% and 4 standard deviations above the 200 dma!!! I believe this is what you mean about being extended. I'll make an updated nasd chart this week many thanks for your thoughts and ideas. John

Carl, I have an investment account that my wife doesn't let me make too many decisions about, but as far as the short term stuff. 2 or 3 weeks is a long time for me. I have had QCOM for longer, and it feels pretty weird. I think that the only thing that allowed me to keep QCOM is that I bought puts on the last week of December, so it felt like I was trading it. John, Mike and I all have different strengths and backgrounds and other perspectives are certainly welcome. Tom (JXM)
