SCMR. Linda.. sorry no of course not. I'm just taking a break from SCMR.. I will get back in. I also exited my other favorite, TLGD and even went short. Sorry to have gotten you confused. I have so many charts up now and everything is moving so quickly. I'm really looking to short stocks now so I was worried that SCMR might gap down. I'm really only trying to get in on a cheaper price and looking forward in this market only 16 hours is hard as heck. I just want about 3 or 4 short positions and mostly cash (90%) for the next 24 hours and into the weekend. However I have another portfolio that moves up nicely but when I have 20-25% lately I just like to take profits. Its just a strategy of these times. This reminds me of a show I saw yesterday on Discovery Health which I watch a lot of "Discovery" 2 stations worth. It was about a 'disaster instructor' teaching ordinary citizens how to cope with sudden and unpredictable misfortunes, like a) shark attacks b) flash floods c) automobiles diving into lakes d) nasdaq tanking (that was mine)and a lot of stuff you are not prepared for in your daily routine. This market is becoming a 'disaster area' of sorts where I am always aware of any 'changes' that could precipitate a change of strategy. For me lightening up is a good strategy when in doubt. He was saying if you make one decision at a time and don't be oblivious to environmental changes you have a very good chance of surviving a disaster.
