QUIZ! I have to disagree with you and your conditioning BS completely. If the SP climed up to $23.50 over the past two weeks and then droped to ~$19.93 following the news release today then you would be within reason. However, this is not the situation in the least, IS IT! Your 'the street ' nonsense is not rational. How can you talk about 'the street' given the actual pattern of trading and SP ever since Mid to late October. Get real, if you can! Otherwise, do the "Romper Room" games elsewhere. Even the controling of the SP is no longer a sruprise to those of us who have monitoring the SP and Trading action for the past 6 months. Those of us who HOLD STRONG and ACCUMULATE when and where possable will not be so easily detered by this kind of nonsense.

If I were to suggest a strategy to deal with the trading patterns of the past 4 months it would be: Buy when you want and sell when you want, but be sure to do more buying on news than selling on news. Those who think of themselves as hot traders and cling-ons (though few would admit to the latter) can do as the OLD dictums state and best of luck to them. Those who learn fundamentals and do at least try to do some DD can/should and hopefully will do as they themselves determine is best for themselves. Trading Tools are helpful but if you are like me they are best for after the fact analysis and learning possable patterns even when there are no real good patterns to discern. Having some ideas on what, when, and how Venture Capitsal interests work and play with and against each other and fool with most retail investors is an important bonus and takes many hard knocks and or many years to get a feel for.

Expecting the unexpected is of utmost importance when the prize is even half as good as the prize we have in our possession.
