Since my nose has been broken six times (football and Army) I no longer rely on it to call turns in the market. Chart will have to do for me but I envy your olfactory capabilities.

Ken, it is not my nose that smells a turn, it is my stomach. When it is in knots and I feel like hitting myself over the head for not having sold is when a bottom is close. I felt that way on CCUR this morning when we got a reco and it still broke $16. Intellectually I know that that a small break of short term support after a healthy correction is often the end, but emotionally it still is tough. Fortunately, I have never let CCUR become a major % of my portfolio. (It was much tougher when Xicor recently did the same swoon, from 23 7/8 to 16, but I am much surer of the fundamentals there.)
