I believe that the market (representing the synergistic whole of all Borland investors, both longs and shorts) knows something that I do not. If I wait for the news to be published, then it becomes old news, and I probably will not benefit from it. TA provides me the opportunity to be an 'insider' without any specific knowledge. Interesting. So the basic assumption of the analysis is that (almost) everyone who buys and sells Borland stock knows what is happening inside the company and the market it competes in and you try to identify their buying habits. I feel that this type of analysis would seem to be more likely to work if the company in question is dealing with commodities (like Coke or Pepsi) or is a provider of services and not one that relies on technical innovation in its products. I will grant you that there seem to be psychological barriers to the stock price at various points. We seem to have been stuck with breaking 10 being one of those barriers for the past couple months.

Sam, Re: >" TA provides me the opportunity to be an 'insider' without any specific knowledge. It works (if I interpret them correctly), and I intend to follow the lead of the charts. They are sometimes wrong, but more often they are right on the money."< Do you find Borland to be in an accumulation phase for the past two years or so? Although the stock is not moving tremendously higher none the less it does seem to move up on big volume then stabilize and moves down on light volume. This seems to indicate lots of buying for accumulation over time so as not to drive the price up to accumulate more at around same price. Some day it will pop when whom ever is finished has enough. But I really can only speculate cause I don't know? TTOSBT
