Libbyt,

I can't respond with first hand knowledge of most of Kerry's sports inadequacies, just as most Viet Nam veterans can't speak of first hand knowledge on Kerry's service record.

However, I did personally witness this.

>>> When Kerry threw the first pitch at a Red Sox-Yankees game, he did not throw from the pitcher's mound -- yet still bounced the ball before it reached home plate. He then blamed his namby-pamby throw on the catcher, a National Guard soldier and Iraq war veteran: "I held back," Kerry told reporters. "He was very nervous. I tried to lob it gently." Conclusion: John Kerry throws a baseball worse than a girl. <<<

The author of the above comment is being kind with his description of the throw being namby-pamby. In my opinion, from actually seeing the throw myself, it was sissy-assed. The damn thing didn't even roll towards home plate.

There is no truth to the rumor that the ball traveled so far off course the catcher needed an overnight bag to make the trip to retrieve the ball.

It is true that he didn't own up to the poor performance by taking responsibility for the sissy-assed throw. He tried to deflect the blame. It was not "the buck stops here" sort of leadership quality.

News out on EGHT this morning suggests one waits until later in the day to confirm previous analysis.

>>> 08:21 EGHT 8x8 signs wholesale agreements for Packet8 VoIP offerings (3.69 )

Co enters into wholesale agreements with Corridor Communications, RBM Communications and WCOIL, allowing each organization to private label the Packet8 VoIP products and services and provide customized web interfaces applicable to their own customers. Since RBM primarily markets to the Hispanic community and will customize the voice prompts and interfaces into Spanish. <<<

May be worth holding another day and then do another analysis.

Libbyt,

The day before yesterday, I said ... >>> I think it's time to take some profits off the table on EGHT. My indicators are "SCREAMING" pull back time. <<<

After presenting my analysis ....

Message 20551502

we saw some good news come out on EGHT which caused the price to gap up on the open. We saw huge volume yesterday and the interesting thing about that volume is that it couldn't help push the price higher. In fact, the price came down to the exact point where my indicators suggested EGHT was a "SCREAMING" sell.

In studying volume patterns, one of the things you learn is that when volume subsides, the price is due to reverse. I think we've seen that exhaustion gap and I would expect the price to pull back towards the 200 day moving average where I will look to enter if all indicators still look good at that time.

If you didn't get out at the top, you should have been close to it. Since you were in as the run started, you should have some handsome profits on hand. Congratulations!

Libby,

On CHS, I continue to see bad signs, and this little dead cat bounce appears to have meowed its last. We might get ready for a cat screech down below the 200 dma and kitty won't find a landing spot (well, not a safe one) above 24.
