Hmmmm.... so you think McNabb is a new persona for the old Candlestick. I suppose that it is quite possible! Interesting insight.

Lightpen - Re: your selection criteria for your personal investing choices, The companies I go long on must have: 1) High growth potential 2) Good management 3) Strong PR 4) Proven track record Please explain what you mean by Strong PR ... good marketing?? I find your criteria to be similar to my own though would add one thing to your list. I like Dell in part because the firm's CEO is also its largest shareholder. This aligns the interests of the firm's management with that of small shareholders such as myself. Dell enjoys the incentives and natural economies of an owner-managed firm, and in this respect behaves more like an individual proprietorship than the usual bureaucratic corporation. Large, owner-managed "proprietorships" unfortunately are difficult to find. MSFT, Schwab, and Wal-Mart (back in the days of Sam Walton) are examples that come to mind. They do tend to make exceptional long term investments, IMO, BTW, Schwab, over the past 5 yrs. has out-performed MSFT! All of these great entrepreneurs --Gates, Schwab, Walton and Dell -- probably think of their firms as their own. Couple that with the fact that all are, by personal disposition, naturally given to the creation and production of wealth. What you have, IMO, is a formula for successful investing, provided the stocks are not outlandishly priced when you buy in. All the aforementioned stocks over periods lasting for several years --or longer, were systematically underpriced. This suggests that opportunities to buy into such companies, while they may not be common, do at least occasionally come along. Regards, Geoff

LightPen, Sorry but I am not candlestick! I'm not like some people whom can not admit there mistakes and have to change their idenity to someone else!Not worth paying the $75 for one thing, just ask the BULLBEARKING! On our short term trading, after looking at the 10 and 60 day moving avg. on the daily and weekly charts with volume, candle stick charting is the other chart form we look at! Other than that we do not use any other charting in making our trades! Long term we take into consideration FA and use TA in when to buy into the stock! Can't wait till DELL proves the bulls or the bears right! Hank
