my view on charts: charts account for a psychological factor in stocks (e.g., a ceiling or bottom at a specific mental price) and for the normal release of events that move the stock. for example, althought INTC has been hit due to lower earnings, the chart looks good at lower levels ($75 or so). why? because in the past (which is what we see with a chart), we see the stock bounce off of major drops. The chart contains all past actions, such as stock repurchases and other actions by management to bring the stock price up to a level where people can keep their jobs. Psychological limits and pasty management behavior, which do show up in charts, probably are best seen in charts of companies that have a track record. observing psychological limits on a stock that has exploded in appreciation is probably difficult if not impossible to do...as for past management actions, that is also very difficult in our case. my conclusion is that charts CAN be a very useful predictive tool, bt in our case, i personally do not think so. dwlima

Brooke, Um...I don't know how to tell you this...but "little sister" is mad at you! When she read your guess that she's in 6th grade....(they got out at noon today), she let out a squawk and said "How insulting!!" She said to tell you that she's in 7th grade, thank you very much!!" You see....she takes after you and me...smart!!!! MOM, wondering which of her daughters will become CEO of coca-cola first! P.S. Valerie (little sister) just said that if you give her $20, she'll forgive you for insulting her. Yep, that certainly sounds like a little sister, all right.
