>>I downloaded NETA data and ran the net on it to see where it was going (just for you AT), and it looks really good. When it went above 35 on Tuesday, it broke the long downtrend going on since Mid July, o that makes it technically very strong right now. << Okay thankx much! Was really scared when I jumped into it earlier this month with all the rumors but got lucky on the way down and up. Still holding onto it after seeing the amount of shorting going on the last few days with the large number of shorts already in it. Do you have the data for EMC? seems to be making a double top. CHKPF seems ready to cross 13/50 ma's tomorrow. And XLNX seems to actually be going up even with their bad report (???)......

Comments The first position account you set up you did buys on Monday only, then set stops, exits during the week. This worked out well, and maybe would make for manageable effort on your part. I did not look too much into detail, but there is probably a good trading lesson in TKLC, lots of big intraday swings over the past 10 or so trading days. I have not traded it, but I keep getting it on scans and telling myself "it must be done, don't play it" Reminds me of that elevator story. David
