I have not noticed any comments on the amazing performance of ITWO the last 3 weeks. I bought it as part of my NASDAQ "Mutual Fund" and I am up 50% on it since 2/3. Seibel is up 23% since then. I got a bad taste in my mouth for this area a year ago, but it is sure coming on strong!

Apollo, why don't you try another MoSSTeBoFFS ("Modified StockHawk Short-Term Bottom-Fishing System") test? That would be a way of trying to scalp some points on your entry and illuminating the thread as well... As you will recall, the procedure was as follows: Pick the stocks you want to invest in, and then set a limit order a few percent below the market price. If the limit order doesn't hit, commit yourself to buying in at market a few days later. The only real downside here is that a sudden short-term updraft could screw you; otherwise you are likely to get what you want a bit cheaper than list. You could do a virtual test--that is, simply noting the original market price--or a real one, splitting your cash into pockets and using half to buy at the beginning and half to buy on the limit order... tekboy/Ares@catfishtastegood.com
