Hi mc, Thanks for your feedback on AMGN and GOOG. As always, your input is greatly appreciated. >>..and what, pray tell, was foolish about holding on to a stock in a clearly strong technical position..in a decided uptrend, refusing to fill underlying gaps,with favorable MAs etc. etc. AND with a big fat triangle having been busted open and promising a dash to well ABOVE 100......<< Well...it probably would have been better if I had adhered to my planned stop and reentered when the chart looked healthier (thus avoiding that ugly drop), but...if you insist on making me look good -- I won't argue! <vbg> >>A "plunge" (???) on the order of 10% down from the average price level of late Jul-Aug completely retraced in a matter of 2 short weeks!! Ah, the younger generation.......SOOOO demanding !!..<< OK...perhaps a bit dramatic. While it was happening, it felt more like a landslide. But now that the stock's recovered somewhat, I'm willing to call it a "dip". Is that more reasonable? <g> By the way, it doesn't seem that I have company in GOOG. At least no one has chimed in. Truthfully, that surprises me. GOOG needs more love here in Clown Free land! <vbg> Here's wishing you and everyone on this terrific thread a joyful and healthy Thanksgiving. And while I'm in thank you mode -- just want to say how grateful I am to the entire gang here for the fantastic TA you all so generously share. I'm constantly learning from all of you. All the best -- IHSC
