Daniel: Liked your post a lot! I printed it out for future reference, as your post puts the subject of GAPS very plain and simple to follow and understand. All types of GAPS you mentioned can only be decided on After the fact. Of coarse, in mid stream you will start getting an Idea for which ones it might be or not. There IS another type of GAP. It is called the " Business Week effect" GAP. Like the name? It is caused by Business Week's " Inside Wall Street " mentions that drive the price up, usually GAP up the lower priced smaller float stocks. More often then not, The Friday Gap up is sometimes followed by a smaller Gap up on monday, but is not allways needed for a good short position anyway. You want to find one that it up large amount on heavy volume. quote.yahoo.com ( That is 18.25% gain Friday on top of a 12.30% gain on Thursdays news, fridays volume was apx. 14 times normal ) Sometimes they do keep running up on monday, in which case a Long Position can be very profitable. Regardless of whether or not the stock keeps going up on Monday, even tuesday, it is HIGHLY LIKELY to drop BIG on profit taking and short selling within a few days at most. If the stock does not fill the gap, but only comes close to filling the GAp, there is still a very nice profit from the short sell and a even greater one if you are quick enough to play it LONG and Short. All of the above IMO. Check this one out. We will see what it does. exchange2000.com Instock
