Just curious, because I could post a list of equities for discussion regarding strength of fundamentals and potential entry points based on technicals. << That would be great Kevin. I do like to incorporate fundamentals into my decision making process in terms of choosing the actual stocks in which to invest/trade. I just started delving into TA recently, and I'm still at the beginning of the learning curve. I finally decided (way too late in the game) that LTB&H isn't optimal in all market situations, and in retrospect, it would have been more profitable if I had used TA to determine my entry and exit points. Seems simple in retrospect, but I was married to the LTB&H idea for a long time. >>Never got the early rally, so I never shorted the QQQQs for a short ride. The good news is that not only has the 38.02 support level held so far, but this slightly negative market (almost flat) is also allowing the technicals to cool-off a bit...possibly setting the stage for another positive week next week (though there are a lot of eco stats coming out that could impact/change the entire picture). << I didn't do the short either. Actually, I've been hoping for a very brief (but preferably strong) market pullback. I sold a few of my positions too early during this past two week rally, and I'd like to reposition at lower levels (or at least not pay up in price!). But as you say, based on today's action, it's debatable whether those lower levels will even be seen -- at least not right away. Hey -- you've surpassed 20 posts!
