rich, I don't have any set "rules" about when to buy and when to sell. <<do you buy when it is certain % and sell when it reaches a %?>> However, I use the tables objectively to help me keep track of the stock performance for the Group and SOXM. The tables provide a quick history of their past action which I use to review "likely" moves for the future. I have also learned over the years to be careful about earnings announcements. I like to wait for the earnings announcement and then if it causes the stock the next day or two to have a bad reaction, and lose percentage wise in the double digits, a rebound gain may be available. I also look at this board everyday to look at the contributions that others make on a regular basis. These contributions are very helpful in taking the market "pulse" on several levels. This information really helps me to stay out of real trouble.:-) Don

My suggestion for one way to use Don's tables: Buy the week after the majority of the 13 week rolling chart is pink. Pick 2 or 3 of the stocks near the bottom of the chart, doing some fundamental analysis to make sure that the companies aren't going bankrupt (not always easy in this business, since so many seem to threaten bankruptcy near the bottoms, only to rise spectacularly in the months or years ahead if they can manage to reinvent themselves). Wait awhile (amount of time is indeterminate--could be a few months, could be a couple of years). Sell the week after the majority of the 13 week rolling chart is deep green.
