i respect what your saying--and my bp is at an extreme reading also--76.68%--highest i have ever had--but only been keeping it since 12/01
i have just learned--and it's not the first time--that i would have been much better off waiting for a reversal in my bp--i am not capable of calling a top or bottom--and have never seen anyone yet successfully call them on an ongoing basis

i have left tremendous amounts of coinage on the table by anticipating the top--in this case--and instead should have tightened up my stops on my longs--and been very selective on any shorts--instead i sold my longs prematurly and went short to early
thats just my opinion because i tend to hold stocks much longer than what i see on this and other boards
i am looking for at least 15-20% moves in stocks--and by going against the trend--which is still up at this point--i am fighting my own style
