Katherine,

Thanks for the idea. Sell rule 34 has always bothered me. "Some stocks can
be sold when they are 70 to 100% above their 200-day. This in many instances
seemed to soon. This looks like it will help determine which stocks. Have
you done any analysis of you trades to determine the accuracy of this
formula.

What records do you keep when you buy and sell a stock?

Chris

  Just so you guys don't blame this one on the "IBD curse"...

  Here's a good example of the "Rubberband Sell Rule" in action:

  PECS B/O on 11/14.

  Rubberband Sell Rule:
  If all three of these criteria are met, be prepared to sell, as the price
  can fall 15-25%:
  (1) >125% above the recent base low AND
  (2) >70% above the 200 day MA AND
  (3) >25% above the 50 day MA.

  For PECS intraday 12/5/01 when P was $40.12:
  (1) recent base low $12.50, +221%
  (2) 200dMA $19.23, +108%
  (3) 50dMA $24.51, +64%.

  Based on that, on 12/5 price, your choices were:
  (1) Sell all or portion of position
  (2) Intend to buy back as it returns to intermediate term trend
  (3) Move on to another position

  12/6 was a distribution day, the first in its advance.

  This morning an analyst downgraded to hold based on valuation, stock
gapped down on open.

  So, depending on your choice, the next rule to kick in is the WON rule for
stocks moving up >=20% within 8 weeks after breakout:

  If a stock does this, hold on through the first correction.

  If you make this choice, you then just have to watch that the IT trend is
not violated as it makes its correction.

  If other sell rules kick in, out it goes.

  Katherine
