I have never seen a market generous enough to let those people who are sitting on stock at 50+ get even so easy.... You have to remember that big bucks and big players are involved and they have a lot more savy and info than we do. They know there are a lot of people waiting to break even and so they operate just below resistance. They also know that if the the stock goes back to the low forties many of those people will throw in the towel and the pros can buy some cheaper stock. You can also bet they are playing full tilt on the options.... That is, buy the stock sell an in the money option and recoup on the correction....Its a pros game here until option expiration is over.... Gil

This was sent to me by a non-member who thinks the people in this thread might enjoy it -- don't kill the messenger (that's me). Very cool asnd type play you might want to post to the asnd thread. I cannot, cause I am not a full paying si member. Wednesday, June 10, 1998 How to play the Russell reshuffle Rebalancing the popular Russell indexes usually means price swings for the stocks involved - here's what you should know before it happens Second in a two-part report By Michael Brush moneydaily.com Over the next three weeks, the prices of many small-cap stocks may start bouncing around as they get added to or deleted from popular indexes managed by Frank Russell Company -- presenting what seems like a good investment play. Like clockwork each year, Frank Russell reconfigures its well-known indexes - including the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 - as stocks get too small to remain or big enough to join them. Then, as index funds adjust their portfolios to match the new Russell indexes, the prices of stocks being added generally rise, while those being taken out fall. If only you knew ahead of time which stocks were going in and out of the indexes, you could make a lot of money, right? Well, you can find out ahead of time... pathfinder.com.
