eichler, great idea with the stock screener I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks handy. As for your shorting ideas, if none of your picks get up to $5 by the time he get our big rollover, you might consider the ones I told you about in that earlier post #20307 last week. Nearly all are between $5 to $20 now, and when you compare their current prices to their January 8th closing prices your mouth may start watering. XLA, TERN, and PUMA have had especially big runs.

eichler: Thanks for sharing your success story w/Stock Screener from SI! Will check it out, using some criteria I like. Glad for your huge profits last year! Maybe you can share some of your criteria...

Greetings all, Very difficult to find the words to explain my long absence from the market, and my favorite threads on S.I. My time had been hijacked by the necessity to take care of the moving of my business location and in the midst of all that, I apparently had an appointment to keep with Mr. Death. While moving stuff, I (overworked, tired, stressed, stupid) blacked out and fell off a 12 foot loft, face first into a pile of metal and a cement floor. For whatever reason, Mr. Death did not want me (at least now) but (I'll omit the gory details) I have been recovering from severe head injuries. A few more weeks and my teeth should be set enough to eat solid food again, but at least my brain still works and the silver lining for me this week is that I had the perfect excuse to forget about work for a while and check out the market, peruse charts and catch up on my favorite threads, not the least of which, the Dr. Bob Thread. Nice to read the familiar postings of all my favorite characters once again. I guess from a timing point of view, I couldn't have picked a better time to dive back into the market. This week was very good to me...60% gain on the week, 20% gain Friday alone. Just as Indexit posted, my main flaw in trading this week was being way too quick on the sell button, leaving way too much on the table. Could have done much better, in many cases, by just waiting a few more measly minutes. I wanted to express my appreciation for this forum and the exchanging of opinions, observations and thoughts and briefly share a thought or two myself. Hey Iowaman... very astute comments lately. I especially enjoyed your comments about the whackings shares took due to warnings and the rebounds by meeting or beating the lowered expectations. Very good stuff, sir. While I am cautious here, now that the $compx has three unfilled gaps and appears to be building a rising wedge (60 minute chart), and has only a little to go before completing a 62% retrace from the 2/1/2001 slide down....I am certain that we should see more up over the intermediate term. When the rising wedge cracks, I believe the pullback will produce a higher low and spark an even more powerful advance. In the meantime, stocks which enjoyed huge % gains recently will put in their retests of the lows while others just starting their moves should do their thing. In reading this and other threads this week, I have put together a short-list of stocks I would like to share which I believe will do well this coming week. All share the same basic look on the daily charts and certain indicators (Sto, adx, obv, ma crossovers, chart patterns). All have plenty of room to go to the upside: zoox, siri, lxnt, itxc, cmto, insp, hlit, oplk. I'm sure there are plenty of others, but these are the ones I noticed/liked. I am not saying these are great companies, I know nothing of them. I trade strictly off of TA and charts. I do not marry my lists and am quick to exit after the desired result. Please feel free to comment but go easy with the criticism as my head still hurts enough as it is. Most of all, good trading to all of you and best of luck in the coming week. Best Regards, Eichler Alive but barely kicking....
