SW, I believe you are correct in most of your assumptions.... 1. As I have experienced/ seen: This thread was started by Jenna, and market Gem is also her baby, Longshadow is also instrumental in the development of this thread. I feel I'm independant but share their views. 2. different people employ different criteria to buying/selling of stocks.....so diversity is bound to happen. 3. Jenna has the best scans I've seen? "the love you make is equal to the love you take." The same goes for investing.....weird thought of the day? explainations cost extra!<g> Jeff

A little clarification: Jenna and I screen stocks completely differently. This is her thread, and shortly after it started I became a regular poster. My picks do not follow her screening criteria. They follow mine. however, we found that we complimented each other - often coming up with the some of the same picks from our much different means. You can rest assured that if Jenna posts a list, they meet the criteria of her Market Gems introductory post on SI. Mine do not. Most are fundamentally solid, but that is not a requirement. My posts are based mon my assessmeent of wherther there is near term positive movement potential. Market Gems, the commercial website, has its foundation in the dissonance and dichotomy of Jenna's and my association and mutual respect. We decided to create a business venture to satisfy the needs of professional daytraders for screened and tradable stocks AT THE REQUEST OF SEVERAL BROKERAGES. We did not create it to replace our efforts at SI, although some of it mirrors what goes on here. And becasue we are not abole to support both endeavors at the same level, we are isolating the parts of it for the SI post that we feel will be most beneficial to the kind of folks we have met here, and leave the detail of intraday picks and watch lists to the commericial site. In order to be something useful that doesn't trequire a subscription, aned because we have a lot of requests for information shared more than once in the past, we have collected our more general and relevant posts to an archive area on our commercial site for anyone who wishes to read them. Yes, we do solicit for subscriptions at our commercial website and hopefully in a not too intrusive manner here - Please appreciate the Jenna got permission from SI and the Borthers Dwyer to do this on SI. Burt even at that we do not actively recruit here. I am not sure tha Jenna and I have fully sorted out what our commercial venture is going to entail, or what will end up being missing from here yet - a lot of it has to do with how much time we can devote to either. I hope this helps some, and I appreciate that many peoiple may float in here and wonder why something is being posted or what the other website is for or want to know what the heck a Gap Strategy is. All I can say is that we are doing the best we can to get the two separate and find our way with that and this. Forgive us if we stumble now and then. lastshadow

2 Watch lists: one 'weighted' for fundamental strength, one 'weighted' for technical strength I personally have 2 watch lists. EARNINGS PLAYS WATCH LIST: A play on good fundamentals The most FUNDAMENTALLY sounds stocks you can buy, the top 5% in fact with a hope they will "move" in anticipation of a good report. GENERAL WATCH LIST: A play on good technicals The "general watch list" that I post every day is more a "TECHNICALLY poised for a move up" kind of list. They are the 'beaten down' ones usually, that's true. In fact I screen for high RS and high earnings-growth stocks as they move into new high ground from fundamentally sound price patterns. I like to use any criteria that could influence price movment: Important news that could influence price, turnaround technical chart or continuation of uptrend, strong fundamentals is NOT the foremost criteria, although it is there. Good Fundamentals would weigh (60-80%); whereas technically poised would weigh(100%). I might sometimes place a stock like SOC on the list, if I think it has been battered enough and looks to regain ground. In my opinion having BOTH lists covers every possibility of finding a stock that day that is breaking out. If it's a particularly 'down' day I will turn to the earnings watch list and look for a 'fundamentally sound' stock that is close to report date. OF course I rarely include a fundamentally 'broken' stock in my daily watch list because my criteria are stringent and only the strongest survive. That is the way I post.. That is the way my contribution to "Market Gems" the website will be. Of course there will obviously be differences in details, content between SI and Market Gems, and we can use the SI forum to discuss some of the stocks, but obviously we won't be able to discuss ALL of them with the same frequency.
