Technical Analysis - CBS - Triple Top: 207.95.154.130 ... A view of this 2 year chart is, imo, extremely bullish. This is the 3rd time in little over a year that CBS has hit 36. The last two times, it came down precipitously. This time, i think it will break thru - and dramatically so. 45 -50 seems realistic in the next month or two. or by wednesday, ggg. larry

>>> I agree with Dan on not using stops on these; Is it possible I am using the wrong terminology? I put a sell stop after I buy examples I buy at 40 if it dt's immediately put sell stop at 39 in case it drops it will sell at/near 39 or I buy at 40 watch as stock runs up to 43 the stock wobbles there I enter a "sell stop" at 42 in case it falls back this I have done numerous times ... often getting stopped out at the 42 sell stop entry Maybe I do not understand the difference between sell stop and sell limit. I thought a sell limit would go off immediately at the sell limit price if the order placed was to sell for less than the current price. using the same above example .. I buy at 40 watch as stock runs up to 43 the stock wobbles there I enter a "sell stop" at 42 in case it falls back if using a sell limit would it not sell immediately at 42 even if currently trading at 43?
