I think scalping means different things to different people. Scalping for 1/4's, scalping for 1 or 2 points, or just plain daytrading. All can be can considered scalping. I generally try for 2 to 5 points, but to me it's scalping if I trade the reversal periods. Isn't anyone who chooses to close flat scalping? Fred

SLVN (former swing trade), EDSN todays watch list, also we look for breakout in CECO, COCO and EDMC. marketgems.com a Bush speech to boost education stocks even higher TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2001 3:23 PM - Reuters By James Paton NEW YORK, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Buoyed by President George W. Bush's plans to improve America's schools, shares of companies that provide educational services and products have been among the best performing stocks in 2001. And these shares, which include Sylvan Learning Systems Inc. (NASDAQ NM:SLVN) and Lightspan Inc. (NASDAQ NM:LSPN), could climb even higher if Bush offers details about increasing education spending and raising standards in his address before U.S. Congress Tuesday night. "Clearly there is an emphasis on education in this administration which bodes well for the private providers of education services," said Dan Veru, executive vice president at Palisade Capital Management, which oversees $3 billion in assets. "And if everything he discussed in his campaign is emphasized tonight" there could be more upside to education stocks, Veru said. After languishing for much of 2000, the stock of Sylvan Learning Systems, a Baltimore, Md.-based provider of educational services to families and schools, has climbed 62 percent since the beginning of 2001. Lightspan, a San Diego-based maker of educational software and Internet products, has seen its shares, which descended steadily last year, rise 63 percent so far this year. That's great performance, considering the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a broad U.S. market gauge, is down 4.6 percent in 2001.
