I'm getting conflicting 'advice' from various books, etc., on the parameters to use for various technical indicators. Since the various permutations seem endless, I feel just overwhelmed and frustrated. Could some of you look over the following, and offer some insight into the parameters you think I should concentrate on. (As background, I'm using MetaStock 6.5. I have been following the more-heavily-traded, lower-priced stocks.) RSI 14 MACD 12-26-9 Momentum 12 Stochastics 5-5-3 Slow Stochastics 16 CCI 18-9 If any of the above parameters seems off, please provide better numbers. Also, please indicate which of these (or other) indicators you think I ought to be spending the most time with. Perhaps many of you have been through this indicator-choosing ordeal in your pasts, and realize just how awfully frustrating it can be. So any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nicholas

Bear Stearns and Jefferies & Co sparked rebound in Internet stocks with upgrades, initial buy recommendations, and all-around enthusiasm. Jefferies bullish on the "portals," starting Infoseek (SEEK +1 1/8), Lycos (LCOS +2 1/16), Yahoo (YHOO +14 1/16) and Excite (XCIT +4 1/16) with "buy" ratings. Bear Stearns suggested that investors buy Yahoo! shares ahead of Q3 earnings release. Speaking of Earnings: The parade kicks off next week. First major tech due to report is Motorola (MOT -1 1/4), which releases after-the-close Monday. AMD (+1 1/8) and Jabil Circuit (JBL +2 3/16) will announce results on Tuesday, and Yahoo! on Wednesday. For Yahoo, the question is not whether company will meet estimates, but by how large a margin will it beat them.
