Thread,

As I look at my "stable" (which now has dwindled to only 11 stocks) I see lots of drifting prices. The kind of market that is difficult at best to attempt short term trades. I've watched the 5/8 MAs on SCH on and off today and they have crossed numerous times, producing whipsaws every single time.

OBV signaled a short about 1230 EDT (as did the MAs) but the result was less than a point. I can't trade for less than a point with my current 200 share limit (self imposed). It's just not worth the risk.

This might be a time to just step back and review what's taken place over the past numerous and profitable weeks. We could see that type of market again... anytime.

Ideas? I'm asking you <ggg>!

Actually DIGL and BVSN are working so beautifully right now, who can complain? If DIGL performs 1/10 as well with real cash as it did in backtest, that would be 30% per month. Can you retire early on that? Sure can...

Still, I'm looking for a few more good guys to have on hand. We'll keep SCH on the sidelines for now.

TC.
