Anybody who uses charts--I am using stochastics on one minute charts of $INDU and $COMPX to give me a feel for entry points in trades. I am using %D and this seems helpful, but I see there are other stochastics and wonder if anyone else has recommendations on stochastic setups. Anybody use these on stock charts? Rick

Well this is depressing... Back in early December my headhunter called to tell me he wanted to submit my paper to a company in Indianapolis. So he did. A month and a half later, I went down and intereviewed with two Vice president's there. It looked to be a great job - Vice President and CIO for Rolls Royce - Allison's North American Operations. I had all the requisites they wanted, and I ended up as the final candidate. Well a month passed and yesterday my headhunter had his meeting with them and although they thought I was great, they decided to change the scope of the job and now wanted someone that had already been a VP/CIO for a few years... That's the fourth or fifth VP or Director's slot in the last year and a half I didn't get chosen for. They all have some reason. GM's cryptic statement was that "I have impeccable credentials, asked all the right questions, made a great presentation, but...uh...he isn't a cultural fit." A cultural fit? Its GM, they don't have any culture! Of course, the people I interviewed with (a couple of barely credentialed former consultants) had been with the company for about a month, so I'm sure they were qualified to judge that. Delphi's postion looked like another chance - but maybe since I wasn't an automotive background (like that's helped them in the past) blew it for me. I want you all to know I appreciate letting me air this here, but I am getting awfully tired of interviewing with people who are intimidated by my background and qualifications, or who are threatened in some way by me, or who just don't have a clue. And there has been a lot of that - you have to wonder how these companies can survive with the kind of ineffeciency, outdated and cumbersome environments I've seen. My wife has been wonderfully supportive, and so have my friends. But you know, after some time one would think that I could find a company out there who wants someone who can help them grow and change and be part of the next century. Well, I will start looking again. But somehow I am going to have to change my search so that I find companies who want to be something more, and not just fill a hole in their organization... lastshadow

Jay, if you read his message before that he asked why I did not say anything to his pick he had sent me and that he hoped I had made money on it and I posted his exact message to me and the time it came. Of course it all started with our talk on here on not jumping onto anyone's pick's until we do our own checks first. Now I get a message near the end of day with a pick and there is no way I would even spend looking at it further when I can clearely see that to me at that point in time it is useless. Its kinda like someone asking me if I still had my EBAY. Heck I sure would not be hanging out here alla time if I had.
