I did for just a trade but jumped right back out, I lose focus when I start guessing at the stocks, & prefer to play the QQQ. There are times some stocks look mighty tempting but in the long haul I know I'm better at timing the index itself. I've watched my hot list and can see that 80% of the time the stocks that fight a NDX down turn wil rally like hell "when the NDX does" and also Stocks that fail to rally with the NDX will drop like a rock when The NDX starts down. Still that's only about 80% true also to single them out I may miss the NDX reversal signal.. And with short trades taht 20% that do miss can eat you up before you know it unless your playing a basket and all of that takes a lot of concentration and the time it takes to trade 3 or 4 is another thing not counting the extra commissions and spreads. Heck I'm either in/out or short the whole 100 with one trade.. Subject 26037 Jim
