    Filled on 2 stocks out of 13. One winner and one looser. Trying to narrow down my OO to only one sector which shows some promise. Feel the correlation might be better doing that. Keep up the good work guys!

    I currently use an envelope of .5 so there may be a diff right there:-) Otherwise I may try to use an envelope of .4 on stocks below 80 bucks and .5 above from now on. Hope this helps, let me know otherwise. I am going home, enough og MMM and the asbestos drama

    Only got BAC today which I scratched. BAC long at 60,60, exit at 60,60. Stock went up to 60,70 and turned sour due to the falling future. Ok exit, no problem with that. Had my envelope at .5 but it seems to be to much in this environment. Been without any real fills for 2-3 days now, my...

    Huge problems on my REDI this morning turning profits into losses. REDI went down after I got filled on 4 stocks, couldn't get out until 5 minutes later. That was all it took to double my loss in BBY and turning IBM from profit to loss. Well, anyway here are my plays for today: MMM, long at...

    I use a watchlist to screen candidates until I have a "portfolio" like Don. After I have selected my "final" stocks I will only use them, so like Don I will get to know them thorougly. Takes data and research in my mind of many months until I will settle for some suitable blue chips.:cool...

    I have a watchlist containing 200+ stocks which I screen and update every day based on FV and opening hits. Lot of research and analysis involved until I pick my candidates that hopefully have the right edge.
