Arrgh, you are scaring me. Actually I stopped telling people, by and large, when/where I would be buying or selling merely because I started to worry that people would enter and stay there. For example I postured today that I would be Short by 10:30.....not a bad idea actually. But suppose someone took it Short at 10:30 and it ran higher? I'd be gone but that person would be waiting it out, down a thousand bucks or far more. I learned that lesson a few years ago, rarely do I mention exactly what I have in mind. Honestly, I'm too afraid someone is going to get clobbered and it would be my fault. I kinda prefer to speak in general terms and stay away from the specifics. I'm certain that you can understand that. Do not drop E-Wave if you would prefer to discuss it. Hell, I do not know anything about E-Wave...anything you guys know is moisture to a sponge from my point of view.

I sort of guessed that you might be speaking of Nasdaq Comp and almost posted that to set. Then I checked my database and found I had no reference for COMPQ. Totally confused, I figured you guys would work it out. So now that you have, I have to determine why I do not have a symbol for this........it's COMPQ? I thought I had every symbol in the book, my software has 27,423 symbols and I do not include options. You would think I'd have COMPQ, but I do not. What I have is the COMP which is the DJ 65 Composite...... Somthing is foul here, I'll figure it out eventually.
