Technology Stocks : VALENCE TECHNOLOGY (VLNC) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Larry: I just started a trial subscription to IBD. It comes with a tape that explains the CAN SLIM investment system. This system includes (along with other criteria) waiting for new highs on positive news. The purpose of the system I guess is to isolate the stocks that are ready for a long term run upward - but to bypass those that try and try but never quite make it. This sounds similiar to the stance you seem to be taking. IBD has back tested this system 45 years into the past and they seem to feel it really works. I was impressed with their presentation of this system and if I didn't already own VLNC (still at a profit) I too would wait a bit. In addition, I'm currently studying up on various technical methods for using "volatility" to predict stock behavior. If anyone has experience with this and wants to open a dialog with me that would be great. Unless it relates to Valence we can do it "offline".

Larry, Larry, Larry. Why must you respond to FMK. Of course, he hypes. I just loved his recent statement that it is the best time to buy in the last five years -- I felt like responding "when in the last five years, according to Fred, wasn't it the best time to buy". But FMK has also done some real homework, and when he is not prodded to outrageously hype, adds some real information to the thread. But just as I explained to my teenager last night, it is usually the best course to ignore people who irritate you. I read these boards to learn (thanks Zeev -- yours are always informative). Unfortunately with you and others repeatedly tossing the same information, hype, speculation back and forth ad nauseum, it has become time consuming and, frankly, a pain in the butt and boring to go through these endless posts to try and gleam any information. Just let it go, Larry. mhs
