PNF looks to have bottomed, so the question now is what the signal point is - I am going with a close above 4. Last year I entered at three, sold at 9, rebought at 7 an sold at 11+. This one goes through nice swings. BONG - WDC may make one more wave ($1.50 more maybe) if it starts tomorrow, but would expect it to peak by Friday close. I don't see any strength in it beyond that. Market had a nice day, I had a miserable one. Thats the problem with being contrarian instad of just exiting completely - one risks losses in intermediate upturns. S&P attained crossover today, and it didn't actually do that last October. Period of index leveling is longer than expected, so 30 day indicators may be leading on the long side. Market is real overbought right now. The watch list above screened out stocks not over both the 20 and 50 day MA, as the initial list was twice as long. I don't usually use MA's, but during leveling or horizontal corrections they can be useful for screening potential postion/swing trades. The net isnt well suited for leveling, as it needs directional predisposition. So, I am now doing detailed analysis on 125 tickers nightly, and its taking a little longer. General Market Forcast is still bleak. All indexes were up between 0.3 and 1.5%, as were the six mutuals. This isn't encouraging. The indexes/mutuals are too varied for them to be all up or down in unison. I'm out of town tomorrow, so I won't get/respond to email until late. lastshadow
