Take a popular stock like Intel, which has fallen 63 percent from its high of $75.81 in August. Many investors feel that Intel's dominance in microprocessors makes it a prime comeback candidate. Assume that Intel's shares rise 15 percent a year going forward, an enviable return by any investor's reckoning. How long would it take for the shares to get back to their high of just seven months ago? Seven long years Because it has fallen so precipitously in the past year, Yahoo would require even more patience from its stockholders: 20 years of 15 percent gains. Yes it seems certain that many participants are thinking and hoping that they can recover their losses in a relatively short period of time. Memories of the incredible ramp up still have not faded. Certainly sets things up for on-going disappointment.

On another matter, I thought I'd bring you up to date with regard to my experiences with TS Pro...). Its been running like a charm for me. Aside from the fact that they still don't offer futures, everything else about the program has more then met my expectations. Incidentally, the data feed has been rock solid as well That's terrific Bo! Its good to know there may be another option out there. We have noticed that TS Pro can sometimes take a long time to load up charts and a few other anomalies in code differences between the TS2000i platform. But glad to receive the update from you. Also, before I'm banished for all the OT chatter <G> I'd like to thank you (I think) for suggesting Kaufman's book. Have gone through it twice so far and I have to admit, if I had any cobwebs in my brain for lack of intellectual stimulus, they are gone by now. Whew!!! -- quite a book. Hey, this is 'anything about the market' so seemingly nothing is off topic! That book is certainly a useful aide to Tradestation & systems developers. I also like Chuck LeBeau's "Computerized Technical Traders Guide to Computer Analysis of the Futures Market" for its a good reference guide to understanding indicator construction and use.
