Whew! Make sure you've got a bushel full of rabbits feet all weekend.<g> With all those times getting burned, I'll bet there have been more than a few that go the other way, right? It's not uncommon to see a $1+ gap up. And what about mergers? Last week, I had the good fortune of owning Ciena. After announcing being bought by Tellabs, the next morning, it opened up around $64 from $57 (more or less). So, have your opening up gaps offset your opening down gaps? Talking about opening gaps - sometimes I see that COMS does not vary that much during the day, but gaps alot up or down before opening. During a week or two of this, it would seem hard to trade. One can only profit, by predicting the up or down gap. It makes me wonder if there is some behind the scenes manipulation...
