Hi jimleon; About those commissions. For a 100 share trade, my commission is $3. Consequently, I can make a slim profit on a teenie. But you do realize that as soon as a TA gets in 25 trades with a net profit, all he has to do is leave the position alone (and long) for the rest of the year? Anyway, best of luck. DELL is one of the stocks that I can almost never read the intraday charts of. I think this is due to the high level of institutional trading. I do better with stocks with large numbers of retail trade. (Retail traders are more emotional, like to end up flat at the end of the day, use TA more, etc.) I would like to learn how to read DELL, so I am going to begin paper-trading it, charting it, watching it, etc., until I either give up or start getting a feel for it. I'd love the challenge. The only problem is that it is kind of distracting to leave on your screen when you are in some other trade. Prints are constantly going off on it. As regards the FA of DELL, I noticed that the stock price is up about 4 or 5x from last year. Are sales and earnings per share also up by comparable amounts? -- Carl
