WEBT--To all chartists: Looking at the chart it seems possible that if WEBT goes up it will meet its most recent uptrend support from below. It's short-lived longer term support is still below where it is currently trading. Meeting previous support from below is said to be be a classic short signal (Trading for a Living, I believe). Is this chart an example of that? Does the longer term support take precedence over its recent trading action? Would love analysis pointers. USWB--Same question for USWB which is well below any support at this point, it seems to me. I am long USWB now (who isn't?) but wondering about TA and reasonable exit expectations. MuchTIA

USWB... thestreet.com <<<<<<<<<<In the current round, we have in the finals such idiotic changes as Borland's switch to Inprise (INPR:Nasdaq) and USWeb's (USWB:Nasdaq) switch to ReinventCommunications after it merged with CKS. (Mercifully, a company that already owned that moniker sued the company last December -- can you imagine defending a name like that? -- and USWeb changed to USWeb/CKS. Not exactly music to the ears, but not moronic, either.) The new nomen nudun comes from Computer Literacy, about which I wrote here just before its IPO in November 1998. Last week that perfectly fine and even appealing name was dumped when the company changed its name to FatBrain.com (FATB:Nasdaq). Nope, this isn't a delayed April Fools' joke: They really did. I suspect FatBrain may have retired the trophy. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
