Cas, I want first to thank you for having taken the time to respond in that fashion. I watch your travels. You're on most threads I read. I see how busy you are and appreciate your straightforward and centering reminders. I appreciate your advice. It is sound. So you say my fee entitles me to pump the more learned here for knowledge? OK, will do and begin with you. If you get the chance, since you said you were curious as to why (I would choose these companies---and for the idea to investigate a chart in question): JNPR I first bought at 144 in early August, I think. It closed at 200 Thursday, and dropped to 198 after reporting earnings. It rose throughout Friday and closed at 228.50 or something. It opened at around 226 Tuesday am and when I saw it at 238 in the pm, I figured it was out at the end of its rubber band, and I placed a sell order limit 244 because I'm too (emotionally?)involved with the co and didn't really want to part--I figured it could never go that high that day. It barely touched that, but my order was filled. I reinvested the proceeds into EXTR at the time. I expected JNPR and EXTR to be the 2 top winners in this earnings report season, and hoped EXTR would do something just half as good as JNPR. How important is a chart a day from the report? If you get the chance look at EXTR chart. I'm still committed to holding (barring stops at 8%) through Friday. But then I will cash out--my 2nd trade--(my first was yesterday). If you get the chance, please tell me if you see anything at all in EXTR's chart. I feel like I'm asking for a horoscope. M
