Dr Bob Thanks for your response. I'm curious what the chart says about ARMF. Miniscule co, does TA really work for illiquid stocks? I am not a day trader, I prefer to hold 3-18 months. My strategy is to buy and sell half after 25% increase and sell another half (1/4 of the original position) at a 50% increase. That way I get all my investment back and let the remainder ride and re-invest dividends (basically forever). Hasn't worked perfectly, but reduces risk. Has worked for PVN, WM, PCG, BTGC, IFMX(until it cratered) and Agilent. The Jury is out on LU. Although by following this formula, I sold MU back in 97 in the 30s, oh well... I don't post much, just learning TA, but have been investing since 1986. My mistake has been being too bearish. I work in a foreclosure department, which means I spend all day looking at the underbelly of the new paradigm: consumer debt run amok. Eventually that will be the iceberg the markets hit. Thanks for your column & TA. I'm buying the Fidelity OTC fund incrementally on the way down. got about 50% more to spend, I hope the 3200 range on the Nasdaq holds.
