Hi Rande, it's nice to have these quiet days to study and refresh one's thinking and strategies... Could you please elaborate on this comment you made the other day? """"We play against short-sellers every single day. . . and nearly always end up winning in the end. CBMI, SCON and CYTO were loaded with shorts today. . .I played the first two and did VERY VERY well despite the large showing of opposition. . . .timing is important. . . . remember how we have discussed watching for the ask volume to dry up and for the main brokerages to go "non-marginable" before we re-enter?""" What are the signs that you rely on in this type of play? I am trying to learn how to read T&S better to pick tops and bottoms (or close to it). I do fairly well on the momo's which have a three-day pattern, but it's harder to play the one-day wash and rinse cycle most of the tech stocks have been experiencing. You've talked before about being able to see where shorts are taking positions, and I have been able to see it in some cases...NETP on Friday was very obvious...but in stocks that are being heavily traded, the short sells don't look as obvious. It is harder for me to see the point at which these things turn decisively. Any insight you could add to help me sharpen my visual skills in using T&S's would be appreciated. I hope you're having a relaxing and productive weekend. Uh, you do know that March 2000 is only nine days away? <g> Thanks, Julie
