Looks like the noose is tightening for CPN. I'm surprised they have survived as long as they have. CPN's failure will cause a further sell off of the IPP's. biz.yahoo.com

>>> for a novice what is a good introductory book or web sit for TA? <<< Someone has already linked Stockcharts. I think this site is a priority for a beginner. KB has already provided a nice list of books but some of them are too advanced for a beginner and I think one needs to start with the basics. I would start with candlesticks. I can't imagine trading without those. There are a lot of candlestick patterns and I wouldn't try to learn them all. I would focus on the reversal candles and the rest can come later. Here is a short list of books on moving averages, I own number 3, the simplified version. Moving averages are critical in the way I analyze the markets. amazon.com KB has already mentioned Weistein's book and he's correct. It's a must in any library. The reason why people lose money is because they don't understand what stage a stock is in and Weinstein clears that up. amazon.com And I wouldn't consider not learning how volume can affect stocks. I highly recommend Trading On Volume by Donald Cassidy. amazon.com There is your starter set. Don't read them like a novel. Study them like an encyclopedia. The markets will be giving you a test and grading your work. Good luck, dabum
