Hi Jan: I've been waiting to get back into CBSL. Never expected the latest run-up. Can you comment on this stock as well as TSRI and MAST. Thanks Sam

Jan, A Question for Tom: An RS chart may be in column of O's down to 1 1/2. (For example a $12 stock with DJIA at about 8000) It would take a move up to 2 1/4 to begin a new column of X's. This three box move means the stock would have to go up 50% better than the market. This means the big move would have already taken place before an RS signal was given. If I find a $12 stock that meets the rest of my screens, should I use different factor to get a more responsive RS chart? thanks duke60

Clarification regarding Tom Dorsey Q&A Wednesday night. This is an open question event. You do not have to know Point and Figure to participate. Ask questions that pertain to you. For instance: A particular stock? Market trend? Market influences? Sector information? Negotiating a trade? Portfolio management? Or ask about P&F if you desire. I apologize for not being clear in my original post. Remember to have all questions in to me by Tuesday evening 9:00pm pacific time. I will post Toms answer here on this thread Wednesday evening. All the best, Jan

Hey Jan, Love Tom's site, loads of info. Question, at his site under bullish percentages, if you keep going you get to "Individual Equity Distribution Table" . At the bottom for the given sector are columns from <-100% ,......,....., 0% to +20%,.....,....., >100+%. I assume that they are ranking the bullishness of these stocks, but in looking at numerous charts I do not see a definante pattern or signal. Also, can these be used for screening for new stocks on a break out and if so which areas are best. Take Care Preston
