Tom, smooth and consistent is what I like too. I'm finding that my FuzzyMath 15 screen selected lots of stocks that are much more volatile that what I'm accustomed to working with. It's fun when they go up -- but this afternoon, when I picked my stock for the anticipated rise tomorrow (according to my models tomorrow should be good), I suddenly found myself swirling downward for no apparent reason. I'd selected CPN just before some unpublished news sent the stock tumbling by more than 5%! Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to buy and hold all 15 stocks in my screen, so my personal volatility is high. What I plan on doing next is extending the time frame of my screen and adding volatility and drawdown measures -- to compare the stocks more in terms of risk-adjusted return. With those changes, maybe more of the stocks that show up on my screen will indeed be great long-term investments. Now, can the NYSE finally get past 665 tomorrow or next week? The chart looks like a wedge with an upper bound at 665 and a rising lower bound at nearly 660. One of these trend lines is going to have to give very soon. Kevin
