In Australian bars, they'll bet on which of two flies crawling along the wall makes it to the ceiling first... Thanks for the clarification. I agree that real-time quotes & instant execution are necessary and that other factors (gen'l market trend, some TA on the stock, etc.) need to be considered. Kind of a modified modified modified gap strategy I guess. All I know is it works for me!!

Hey lisa, I have never heard of the "Clinton Option". I did however once hear of a "Clinton Bond", which lacked principle. There was also a "Gore Bond" that came with no interest. The Treasury was considering a "Ted Kennedy" bond, and presumably, it would never mature... Ha, I love being a gun-toting, right wing, Republican nutcase... :*) -John

Jen (this damn "requested page not found" is IRRITATING) that strategy can be used for short or long with the same gap and I was forgetting about the short until Mark popped up... so I think we look tomorrow for one that gaps up higher than yesterday highs..and then see if it can go long or short... and one that opens lower than yesterdays low and see if you can go long or short I was having a little conversation with Lastshadow tonight asking him my typical questions that Nemer always dreads ;-) anyway... the above strategy (using yesterdays high or low) is more conservative and one that we should look at if you get a handle on the "plain jane" one first..then you can move up to more riskier gap strategies... I asked him about the time frame and he indicated it is something you have to get a feel for depends on the sector volume etc for example...the higher the volume, the more techie the sector..the longer you might want to wait to be sure of course the longer you wait the more you risk losing part of the profit...but it seems safer to me... anyway I think it is something we have to get a feel for and I like discussing it here because it gets people involved and we can all watch how it works plus we get a lurker like Mark who pops up and helps us out ;-)
