P3, Glad you liked it. You asked for a site on P&F charts. Here's a list of P&F sites and software. As far as free stuff, the Dorsey Wright page has some free charts, but they're never the ones you want. Tom Dorsey's book on P&F charting makes good reading. investorama.com

A question I have about DSL. How does DSL compare to cable connections such as @home and RoadRunner. It seems that if AOL is not granted access to cable then an all out assault on cable using DSL maybe a strategy AOL will undertake. If that was to occur it seems logical to buyout a few dsl companies. An argument some may have is that cable is superior to DSL. However, DSL still kicks 56k in the bud. It took a long time it seems for 56k/v.90 to be the predominant standard of connection. For cable to provide access to AOL's 14 million customers in a timely manner would be impossible but for a majority of AOL users to switch to DSL appears more logical and much easier since DSl requires only existing copper wires and a dsl modem. Another question is that AOL is providing DSL in certain cities in the United States as a test run. Who is providing these services for AOL and what companies would AOL need to purchase in order to be self-sufficient? It seems a buyout of many dsl companies may occur if the government does not allow AOL access to cable lines. Perhaps AOL is waiting for the decision by the gov to make any moves. If AOL decides to use DSL then wouldn't other isps such as ELNK,PRGY,MSPG, and other isps start moving towards DSL as well? DSL seems to be a zero sum game waiting for the government to play a role.
