Your mental stop idea can be dangerous, depending on the stock. It would've helped me a few times in the recent past, though, because I've made the low tick more times than I care to remember. Last month ICOS shook me for $3 in a few minutes, then gained about $20 in a few days, if I only held on.... Ever consider protecting a position with options? I looked into it half heartedly last year, I'm still interested. You know anything there? On sectors- scanned the indexes thurs and got the NDX- networking. Last nite's scan got NN, but it's being acquired so I don't know if it's related, but CSCO's been on fire. I'm looking into the others in the group. I liked the chart on this little semi- GNSS and took a position yesterday. The way it trades though, looks like I may get my head handed to me. Fun sport, this. What about sectors are you studying? -Alex
