O/T BD, I'm trying to take everything into acct. Fundamentally and technically. Many different factors involved I think technicals actually represent the fundamental picture to a certain extent, a picture of investor sentiment in the candlestick price and volume reflecting the fundamental developments, support and resistance. Big buyers moving in or out foreshadow fundamental changes. NYSE and OTC bullish percents give a picture of the broad market participation short and longer term. the thought of missing daily stock specific 40% moves doesn't scare me anymore, or big % weekly moves for that matter. In the current market environment big moves up develop into selling opportunities, and exaggerated pullbacks into buy opps. By waiting for recognizable I/T and longer term set-ups that I feel comfortable trading, I feel my risk level is reduced. fwiw I'm not convinced in the least this is the beginning of a new bull market, and I can afford to miss out if I'm wrong so I'd like to think i can look at things more objectively. I do feel the market can be timed with success, but also in letting winners run intermediate and long term. History will be the judge, but personally speaking so far so good<gg> Wall street wants the average joe top be fully invested 100% of the time... that taking profits and paying taxes on s.t. cap gains is bad... and that $ cost averaging down is good. I think that's b.s. Best, jm
