Thanks for the message. Yeah, picking the bottom is tough. I took a write off on buys of CPQ at 30, WIND at 19 and KEA at 21. Of the three I thought I was getting very cheaply only KEA turned out to be. Luckily I caught WIND back at 12 and it's a turnaround play back to 15 now. I do look at charts but have no training at it. I use intuitive guesses I suppose. What feels safe. One thing I have noticed, after a stock gets suddenly hit, it'as usually two days later when it reaches its low, and it can be about 30 days later when it rises, esxpecially after tax-loss season. I've been burned buying the first day of a sharp decline. On the other hand, sometimes the reason it went down was misinformation and that creates a break. But better to be careful and wait them out. As for momentum you can make a lot of money but need to get out at the top. Just the reverse mirror image of the bottom feed. So play either way I guess. All about guessing tops and bottoms.
