Stochastics, to me, are a measure of a stock's oversold or overbought position. 20 and under is considered oversold and 80 and above is considered overbought. that doesn't mean that the trend of the stock will reverse when its stochastics get to these point. I use stochastics as one measure in evaluating a stock. I most like to buy a stock when the stochastics have been in a downturn, have bottomed, and have started up, and the green line moves above the white line, or whatever color your chart is. I am hesitant to buy a stock when the stochastics starts turning down. I am comfortable buying a stock with a high stochastics if the trend is intact and upwards and other factors are positive. cbs.marketwatch.com 207.95.154.130 (With chart and stochastics for Gilette) are the two sites that i use most for stochastical analysis. larry. eod
