Herm, I agree that W.I.N.S. often works, but looking at the SUNW chart, I see that it tagged the upper BB around Oct. 20, and the RSI appeared to reverse. If I cover the chart from Oct 21 to today, wouldn't I have predicted a WINS reversal down to 40? It looks like this reversal lasted all of 1 day, and then the uptrend continued for another 15 points. What tells you that it is different this time? I'm not trying to dispute your conclusions, and I hope to make some money on this SUNW reversal, but I'm really wondering why a reversal is being signalled now, and wasn't on Oct. 20. Is it just a matter of waiting a few days for confirmation of the reversal, as we have with SUN now? Thanks Scott

LOL <I want to hear what you are doing. I'm also interested in learning how people lose money that way I can avoid making the same mistakes. As a child, I pondered once, "if you don't want to be poor, just look at what poor people do and simply don't do it."> Herm you are a riot. Question: How can I get info on the "VIX" and "10 year T bill" that I read in past posts from you of what we need to be aware of re: the market. Thanks Thanks Thanks for your sharing Jen
