Are you looking for a place to buy this or sell this? I was thinking of buying it again. I had bought this and several utility stocks early last week, and sold all on Friday. I've been making it a habit to stay as close to cash as possible since 8/31 when I went to all cash. I've been doing short term trading since then, to the benefit of my accounts. In the case of MDR, I thought I might park money there for the intermediate term. Thanks very much for the chart picture. The "swing trader" is a fantastic tool! ispeculator.com With much appreciation, Donna

Teresa, Thanks for a very interesting thread, and for introducing yourself here so that I would know you exist. I look forward to studying your website information in depth. I have some experience charting with Edwards and Magee, having read their 1st edition way back when, and more recently there 7th edition from cover to cover. I have also read a few other books, including some of Prechter's books. Consequently, I have a little knowledge, but I have not found many of the formations very predictable. I have been successful, however, with following trend channels. Given this as my background, here are five questions to which I would appreciate responses. 1. To what extent has the advent of before and after market trading sessions affected the usefulness of TA charting exercises? 2. What relatively simple technical indicators, such as volume, RSI, Williams %R, and MACD, among others, are the most useful? 3. What is your opinion of Fib ratios and Elwave analyses techniques? 4. Given that the QQQ is an index of 100 stocks, does it act more like a future or a stock, and what are some good sources of technical information about the NDX. 5. Finally, I noticed that you prefer 65-min bars over 60-min bars, which I think is an excellent move. I currently use Bigcharts.com, but it has certain limitations. What charting sites do your recommend, especially for real-time charts? Thanks in advance for your responses. Sam Scrutchins
