NW: Check. Yeah, any trades have to be culled from strength, and strength can be incredibly transitory. I made some money on SSTI Friday, for instance. It broke up, I caught it on the upswing and within a couple of hours it had moved up about 3 or 4 points, reversed, and closed down. I sold on the upside, but a blink or a telephone call would have seen those profits turn into a loss. The vast majority of stocks are moving like that. And god forbid you hold something overnight and management sneezes the wrong way at 9:26 the next morning. M2
