>>If you can predict news in advance, I'll give you all of my money to invest for me.<g><< Ok, I can predict news, but be wrong, so I won't mind losing your $$.<g> Seriously though, IMO, the key is to know your companys real well and be able to distinguish the "good news" from the hype. >>Ignore what they get their schills to say on CNBC and in the WSJ, Barrons, Smart Money, etc. etc. etc. << I never watch TV, and NEVER get my COMS info from those sources you mentioned. WSJ and Barrons I will read primarily for as many opinions on economic trends as I can get. Also, I read them to see what the earnings results are for lots of the major market players. I've been trying to learn TA gradually for short term trending/trading and as a check against all the other info I get about COMS. I believe when COMS settles down, it will be a more predictable/tradable stock. Thanks for all your insights. I have definitely learned a new way to look at the market from all your posts...a lot of it is practice. Keep posting, and I hope you're making $$ from COMS yourself. joe
