NW, Oh, you have to nail me with that, eh? I don't know... this AM I thought I'd be in all week and out early next week... now I don't know. I got the "momentum" fever last night reading here, and it "seemed" like a real big set of positive forces at work, but now that we know the skinny on AV, we are still speculating a minor increase in earnings, say 2 cents or so over whisper, I'm not sure we haven't seen the big blip for a while. Us marginally successful short terms traders don't really know what we're talking about, so I'll continue in this trend! And maybe what I'll do is just try to call it as it feels at the time... Do you see that AV, earnings, and the analyst meeting have basically been factored into the price or do you see some more energy going into the price? By the way, all I get to see for real time quotes is via Jack Web's site, with no charts, and I really can't watch the bid/ask volume ratios well, but it seemed that during todays rise that I watched (over a point after trading began), CPQ ALWAYS went up with much greater ASK volume than BID volume, which is contrary to how I have seen other stocks move. As I recall when the buy volume is higher is when the price gets chased up; not so today. Is my analysis wrong? Doug
