Wayne: Your advice is working against my basic instincts to be a very impatient person. Sold the COMS I bought yesterday at 35 7/16 and will see where it opens tomorrow. watching VIAS. I own this and it went up 3/4 this morning to it;s 6 1/2 resistance pt. I am waiting to see if it breaks through before buying more and it is killing me. I tried to put in a buy stop but the order was refused?

Wayne, good post. I'm trying to think about setting those sell/buy stops. Just need some time to let it sink in. I would like to sell the shares, and wait for the downturn, which I can predict with about 60-70% probability. But, I need to set the stop buy at a price slightly higher, in case there is not a selloff, the stock fakes me out, and it starts to go upward. (This just happened about a 1/2 hour ago, but a little bit after the fake out, it dove like like a lead ball). >>Only try trading top 10 volume/#trades stocks on the day.<< Wayne, if you're waiting for a stock to pause on low volume, then it wouldn't likely be on the top 10 list of highest activity, would it<g>? I guess you might be taking about stocks that usually trade in the top 10 volume list?
