I still think we can see the gap at 35 filled. ASND looking VERY toppy right now and I would expect it too take a breather. Of course with earnings right around the corner, it could throw the best laid plans of mice n men all to hell.<G> I have no regrets for selling at 37+ though. While it has been slo.o.o..ly grinding out another pt. and a half, I put my profits to work in far more lucrative arena's. (got a double in two days with ETEL and grabbed 12pts from BLDPF in an hour this afternoon.<G>. Scalped some good short $$ outta VIAS and ETEL too.) Good luck with ASND if you're still holding. The risk vs reward is too great at this point IMO. I've given up on earnings plays. Hell, they come in with sh*t earnings an the damn thing goes up 5 pts., come in with GREAT earnings and it tanks. I give up.<G> WHEN ;-) ASND fills the gap at 35 though, you can bet I'll jump all over it with heavy ammo.

Glenn, we should see a re-entry point soon IMHO. As you may remember one of my favorite TA techniques is B-Bands in tandem with RSI (or MACD) to signal reversals. That set-up has generated a nice reversal signal. Price has popped out of the upper B-Band limit and RSI has gone above 70 and reversed (now back below 70). We have also formed a Dark Cloud Cover Candlestick formation. A Dark Cloud Cover is not a formation so strong that I would mortgage the farm on it, but still a good strong pattern nonetheless. ( I WOULD mortgage the farm on Eve. and Morn. Star formations. <G>) A Dark Cloud simply signals that price has a poor chance of rising above todays highs without backing off abit first. (Check out this commentary inre Dark Cloud Cover made on Fris and Mons.) why.net Also......take a look back to Sept. 10-11. There's a Gap there between 38-40 that is creating resistance and the reason why we've stalled just short of 40. Resistance at 40 also confirmed from lows of Aug 96, Apr, 97 and Jun 97. (Sorry Tim, close but no ceegar.............Aw hell, what's a teeny among friends. I guess we gotta give you the "Prescience Prize" for your "40 by Fri. call". <GG>) ---------------------------------------------- Other stuff: Stochastics- Both Fast and Slow above 80. Fast crossed over AND turned down. Slow just turned down/about to cross over. Momentum- Bearish reversal off a 9-bar new high. ROC - " " " " " " " OBV - " " " " 5-bar " low. MACD- downturn in MACD MA signals short term decline. Soooo, it looks like the short-term top I've been looking for has been finished. I'm still looking for an INTRADAY move to the gap at 35, BUT betting that it only goes there for a second and rebounds HARD. LONG TERM ASND looks STRONG. Price action has been strong and the Gap could remain intact, but I still think there's a good chance we will go there as MM's try to shake out some cheap shares on an intraday raid. HOWEVER, I'm playing it by ear and will not be too stubborn about waiting for the gap to fill. Have a good weekend mi amigo.
