Re: "NEVER allow a stock to fall more than 10% on a trade." Excellent point (and especially relevant to me, I'm afraid). Do you use stop loss orders or do you just set "mental stop losses?" Best wishes, I2

Richard, Am I correct in thinking that short interest ratio is the same as days to cover? (shares short/avg daily Vol)? Higher is better? Is there a way to estimate the price at which covering may take place? Is it safe to assume that a down day on above avg vol was caused by shorting? Any good references on this subject, and does your software give you clues? This is a gray area to me, since it seems to encompass both TA and FA. Regards, and as always thanks for your assistance.
