Hi Cyber, Thanks for the update. Cohu announced excellent earnings but noted a lower Q1,2006 revenue quidance due to new product sale (of substantial size) to a new customer.This was a new product to a new customer,and the revenue would hit Q2 vs Q1 and a sell off of vicious proportions was initiated in the AH trading. This is most unusual as the stock seldom trades AH - let alone on BIG volume. I'm noting almost a deja vu replay of price swings with in the stock vs 1998-2000 as it developed. So far I played the previous swing like a fiddle. The spontaneous decline caught me playing with my faddle instead. I scalped the stock after it bottomed and absorbed my time vs developing a bad case of depression or anger.GG Speaking of violent - violent was the word I used when the stock opened down $6.50 and I had to separate my Sphincter from the fabric on my chair!<smile> All is well as my account was somewhat prepared for the worst - although I surely did not envision that response from a quarter that incresed net income by 95% AND YoY of 399%. I think I know the answer here as E-Wave doesn't really apply to individual stocks. stockcharts.com[w,a]daoanyay[dc][pb33!b50!b72!b150!b200!f][vc60][ilh14,3!la8,21,5!ld20!lb14!lf!lc20!lg][J27980957,Y]&listNum=14 Knowing I was well into a high territory on,Macd,Stochastics,CCI,OBV etc.,does anyone see a count that additional study of E-wave would've supported an early exit need. I had well intended to sell into the good earnings and lighten my short term holdings.Perhaps waiting for too much of the top and taking big chances powered byr greed are the best answers. Here's your chart you made for me - thanks again stockcharts.com All critiques welcome! Thanks for the follow up on Cohu. Bob
