Hi Kevin,

Hope your healing up. There are worse places to get a hernia. :)

I've got different technical reads than you so I've got a couple of questions.

200DMA -- is that a simple or exponential closing aveage? I had 96.2 yesterday and 95.95 today for ema. I've found that ema is more reliable as a support than SMA. I know you have the god of all information tools; I'm just trying to reconcile the parameters.

BB -- Do you use 2.5 or 2.0 standard deviations for all BB's? And, if you know, which is usually more followed. I use 2.0 annd that would explain the difference between the numbers.

Thanks for the MF update. If this trade goes against me I'm out. No more waste of capital.

On a different note, I hope you and everyone else continues to post ideas for consideration. I remember a few days ago when consideration of MSFT puts was being tossed around. Jim Cordes stepped in and said that a resolution between MSFT and DOJ on contempt was imminent. If that stopped anyone from making that trade, it saved them some loot.

I enjoyed the big option trade and MF ideas of the day segment. If you have the time and inclination, please continue.

Take care.

Hi Kevin
Sorry to be one of the last to wish you well with that unfortunate medical condition.
I am sure Jim, Lisa & Don will do well for you, at least as far as administrating the meds. Of course it sounds like you can do that well enough yourself.<ggg>
How do you like staying home and trading barefooted in some old sweat pants, coffee stained shirt or on those very lazy days, nothing at all?<gg>
Take care and good luck to you.

Kevin; RE:" IBM "

...if today's opening holds, Morning Star on IBM. Near term resistance is 98.7
