Lzzrd, I had PRSF also for it's recent run, but now it has had more news and another pop yesterday, this was a nice run, caught this bus twice. I failed to mention IWOV is also at support......on recent stocks at support for a bounce upwards. I saw your newsletter article, agree on your MacroEconomic standards used, we need news badly to break support, I am more in cash and waiting for 1:15PM CST anxiously. About low Vol. and stocks retreating, is this not market-makers shaking the weak people and creating something also? If I was a true believer in the "sacred" IBD and took Oneal's advice many people would be shook out with 8% stop-losses, hey that is a real loss then. I will stick around and ignore low volume retreats as long as the support line is not broken. I use Barcharts.com, and also stockconsultants.com for easier interpretation on all that voodoo plot charting, I don't have the time to memorize it and it is not a guarantee as we all know, the "trend" and "supports" and "resistant" lines with volume tell me the most,concur? Also why don't you play smaller cap stocks for the bigger % and dollar gains, and less cash out? With this nasty 3 year retreat we just had there are alot of smallcap growth cos. that are dying to be owned again by the Big Institutions,etc.........I know they are riskier but are you not a DayTrader?

Lzzrd, As for as shorts go, my stupid Scottrader only lets me short on > 4.00 stocks, and as you see my list, they are little guys. I recently shorted EMIS, as well as rode it up, OXGN was a nice short also. Bigger cap names for you to go up are HPOL, SNDK, SOHU, as they were nice rides up and recent shorts. Sorry, but I am expecting a pop, maybe I am too optimistic, so I am scurrying for some little guy pops today.......AMCC, VTSS, JDSU, MTON, MRVC, MCHP (bigger) Jim.....I will let you know after <greenspam time> about some shorts if deemed necessary, it may be good time to short at 1:15PM CST though......
