The anatomy of a Top and Bottom. What to look for when looking at corporate news. TOP 1) Companies building plants left and right. 2) Smaller and newer companies building new head quarters. 3) Companies paying large sums for other smaller companies with unproven products in attempt to keep pace 4) Companies having a hard time finding new employees. 5) Companies shelling out more and more options to retain employees. 7) Companies hording parts for fear of not having enough to meet demand. 8) The Fed Reserve is increasing rates. 9) CEOs acting like they are GODs. BOTTOM 1) Companies stopping or delay the building of plants. 2) Smaller companies failing. 3) Inventory write offs. 4) Reissuing options to employee that received options near the top that are now worthless . 5) Problems with obtaining financing to keep operation afloat. 6) Downsizing, selling off divisions, spinning them off to raise cash. 7) Laying off employees. 8) Writing off more in process R&D. 9) The Fed is lowering rates. 10) CEOs blaming outside condition for missteps.

Greg (or anyone) I bought some '03 leaps for brcd,emc and sebl. Still have cash....wondering if it would be better to wait until Friday as options expiration Fridays are often way up and way down, providing good buying opportunities. Do you think this is a good day to just watch, considering that a news day is a "noisy" day for buying (and there isn't anything I want to sell yet ; waiting for higher prices for both my non long hold little ones, bnso and cdo....hoping for 12 and a triple out of bnso and 6 and a four bagger out of cdo).
