Monty; The S/MMs see data we don't they short at the top or on gap downs, ( ahead of the market ) and they also close their shorts ahead of the market, after all it's their game. --------------- Do you remember me talking about my magic ten, here they are.

I've not mentioned these in a while, but since April 30th when I last weighted them, this little gang is UP over 8.2% , I didn't call them the magic ten for nothing. I may have to soon drop or bring in a new one soon but for a 10 stock portfolio they are hard to beat, and on top of that they are liquid. Jim
