Gang, Any of y'all that haven't checked out CMED yet, now would be a good time to take a look at a 2 year daily chart. Methinks it's at a critical juncture where it's got to either fly or die. I sold mine today on the chance it takes the later whilst I can't be watching (day job you know), but hoping to get back in shortly after it breaks out (or maybe re-tests? some techs are starting to peg). Y'all know what kind of voodoo breaking over an uptrending IHS neckline is though. FWIW...Alski

Gang, Watch CYBX gap Monday up to one of them 17+ magnets. It'll do that on account of 'cause I took profits today. Here's another "use mental stops" story though. CYBX was trading strong mostly over 14, occasionally 13 7/8. For grins I put 100 shares under the table with a stop at 13 11/16 to see if those MM SOB's would do it. Well, at 3:52:10 they swooped down to take my 100 shares and some other poor SOB's 100 shares at 13 3/4. At 3:51:00 it traded at 13 15/16 and at 3:53:20 it went for 14. Now, I'm not surprised or upset they "got" me for $25, I baited them after all. But I didn't expect them to be so blatantly obvious about it. Swooped down 1/4 point (~2%) for a lousy 200 shares. Vicious they are. If you happen to study CYBX's chart this weekend, the REAL low is 13 7/8. Those 200 shares were the only trades all day below that. FWIW...Alski P.S. Don't even ask me why I didn't just sell those 100 shares outright at 14 1/4 (or hold 'em over the weekend; it's going to 20 3/8, right Voo?). I'm content deluding myself that my little experiment only cost me $25 and don't want to think it cost me $56! I'll be upset enough when CYBX opens Monday at 17+, even though it couldn't have happened if I had held.
