Hey E: Take the summer off if you must but keep posting us the charts! Unfortunately, I was out with the cows the last two hours of trading today and totally missed the "feel" of the turn around. I kept up a little by phone quotes which are too slow to get orders in in a fast market and I clearly missed some good trading buys. I surmise the support of 3600 held like Dolly Parton's brazier. Whatever the reason, I was sure glad to see a turn up the last half hour instead of slumping to the close like we've gotten used to. I want to think we're in a nice rolling pattern where we can trade 3600 to 4000; I don't see why we're compelled to undercut previous lows, though we should keep that in mind and watch our bras closely! I had no guts today so I didn't buy CY at 46 Didn't buy IDTI at 41 1/2 Didn't buy XLNX at 64. For consolation, I did buy LSI at 53 and CY at 48 and IDTI at 43 (IDTI's rolling pattern showed clearly we should hit low 40's and I think a buy 40-44 is a no brainer). Worst for me was gettin slung out of XLNX today at 64; I had too much and things looked real bad for a while and, man, this business can be tough sometimes---or all the time for that matter. But XLNX support at 65 held tremendously strong. Missed YHOO in the teens again. Bottom line: please alert me via the thread to such a turn around five minutes before it happens so I can take off the chicken suit. cb
