Well, based on the pre-market futures, I bought a little DDM! Looks like you guessed right today, so far. I don't really have any uncleared cash to play with. I am working it so that my account is half in cash at all times. Requires more bookkeeping but I am sick of getting caught/hindered by that SEC rule. So far its working out okay but I've only been at it for a few days. Why I bought more DXD today is because of the Naz. Seasonality and end of the month suggests a rally but the Naz has been negative pretty much since the open. I can't see how the DOW can rally with the Naz down so much. Now watch them prove me wrong. <g> Just tried the trailing stop approach and got screwed once again. Put an 8% trailing stop on MDR and got stopped out at $8.14 at the low of the day when I thought it would only stop me out if it fell below $8. I am sticking to regular stops. Thank God I only placed the trailing stop on one portion of my position.
