I did not realiZe that my little post would generate so much ink. Mr. Potter, my earlier post was not intended to be a personal attack on you. I just feel that some times these TA charts and posts (which I do not understand myself) unnecessarily frighten and worry newbies and first time investors in SFE when stock prices are dropping. Yes, your posts DO panic people who are on margin and who are not as sophisticated as you and others. People do sell after reading your posts and then would regret their actions later because they think the sky is falling. I, however, do enjoy your posts. But my constructive criticism is this: Do post your TA, but at the end of your piece, inform the readers that your information is no more just just a crap shoot - a 50 - 50 proposition at best. Please also tell your readers not to take TA too seriously because it could be a hazard to your wealth or vice versa. My own advice: TAKE TA WITH A BIG BOULDER OF SALT. I am long, and very long on SFE - 200 in 12 months. Day to day price fluctuation does not concern me. 50 day MA does not interest me. Buy and hold is the way and the only way to go in this very volatile stock.

SFE seems to want to outperform CMGI to the upside. Well, yesterday and today anyway. Possibly the ICG registration is doing the trick. Whatever the reason, it is very encouraging. Rob ps. Michael, I truly appreciate your posts. If only for more cash, I could have made a stellar profit on your recent calls. I believe someone actually asked you to start posting your OT picks here. Please keep them coming. Thank you for your contributions to this thread. In my opinion, the SFE and AXC threads are the best, stock specific, SI has to offer.
