Gee Irby, I've received two emails from them in the past two days. I can't agree with you more.

irby, question on volatility. My software calculates volatility as a measure of standard deviation/avg price. But this does not correlate well with the beta of a stock, which is also a volatility measure. You have recommended trading large and mid cap stocks, with good liquidity, and high volatility. Do you use beta as your measure of high volatility? If so, what is your cut-off? If you don't use beta, how do you define volatility? I am forming up my list, based on average volume so far. I seem to be getting the same stocks that everyone else is comng up with: OXHP DELL SUNW KLAC INTC ASMLF AMAT CSCO ADBE ASND etc. I would like to come up with a final list, which I will put on this thread. But first, I want to sort by volatility. Thanks. Harry
