Hi Chuck,

I held ARQL in 2 accounts. One is for quicker trading and the other is for slightly more patient holds.
In the quicker account I sold in order to enter INHL.
Since the ARQL exit it has gained about another 8% while INHL has gained just over 12% so far. It was a matter of seeing a larger % potential in INHL over holding ARQL.
In the more patient account I sold 60% of ARQL at 12.70 in order to begin a somewhat patient position in GLW. A targeting technique I use showed ARQL was hitting stiff resistance in the upper 12s. Without going into detail, the resistance line goes from the low on 10/30 to the high on 11/8. If price breaks over that line it could get to around 15 in a week or 2.

hope that helps,
Doug R

Chuck,

One other thing...I had done pretty much the same thing with CANI just prior to ARQL. Sold CANI a bit early to buy ARQL.
I'll be watching quite a few stocks early this week to do the same thing with any of my current positions in INHL, CLGY, DSGX or SIGM. If any of those 4 get weak I'll exit or if any of them continue significantly I'll take the profit if I see a larger % potential and lower risk in another stock than what I would have if I hold.
