Hey Joe, I have no relation with the "Conservative" Norris, other than he brought his attitude over to the yahoo thread and started in on a few of the better posters over there. I was just wondering what his motives may be?

COMS chart sure looks beautiful, I could stare at that thing for hours. I say a move down to 29 or so may be in the cards. There is just to much "this is the break-out" type of posts all over. I have seen it plenty of times, the get rich quick folks always seem to cough it up, but then again, some have paid their dues fairly good on this one.

As far as the call of the wild thing, (if I can get my foot out of my mouth) it is most definitely financial, with an emphasis on options selling during wild volatility and speculation. I like to help reckless investors learn. The job actually pays pretty good, if you know what I mean.

You were right about the earnings revisions being pre-earnings or just after, now FC is saying there were only 2 downward revisions in the last 30 days, there was also 1 upward revision. Here is the revisions part of FC.

Current Mean EPS 0.31 1.33 1.95
7-Day Ago Mean EPS 0.35 1.32 1.95
30-Day Ago Mean EPS 0.35 1.32 1.96
Upward Revisions Last7 days 0 0 0
Upward Revisions Last 30 Days 1 2 1
Downward Revisions Last 7 Days 0 0 0
Downward Revisions Last 30 Days 2 1 0

Good Luck
