Bob, have you looked at VRGY? LRCX seems "discovered" so not as much octane... but VRGY... hardly anyone follows it but me I think. Was part of Agilent that was part of HP... where I came from.... Hopefully a higher low, but PnF still very bearish I'm guessing it made a 50% retrace and might get some more... last bought at $8.32... I think. Maybe a hero-maker for my girlfriend's ROTH....

Some interesting things going on right now Bob that make it difficult for the market to continue to rise. The dollar is at the bottom of it's recent channel and will have to decline to new lows if that inverse relationship is to continue to show up. Also large caps continue to outperform smaller cap issues. That's not what is usually seen in a healthy broad based market advance. Message 26064245 Also the recent spike in the volatility indexes has completely reversed leaving the VIX more than 10% below its 10 day sma. Short term traders looking at buying a stock not driven to react to fundamental news may want to wait until we get another spike in volatility before adding to, or initiating new, positions. That said we are in a generally favorable period for market advances longer term at this time of year. The last five years though that has not been a given. RtS
