DYII is a stock that came up for discussion on the list in early =
October. This is a stock that crossed my radar, but at the time I passed =
due to the poor chart action around 10/5. I have been watching it since =
and was interested in what the chart might have said prior to the =
failure yesterday. Here is what I saw that would have been sell signals =
for me:

(1) 10/5/01--tail...ominous end to attempted breakout of an 11-1/2 week =
base. This is one of the reasons (along with due diligence) that I =
crossed it off the list.
(2) 10/8/01--gap down just before earnings-Co. press release says "short =
sellers at fault" That's the goofiest reasoning I've ever heard and was =
a red flag that these guys don't know what they're doing. I never like a =
gap down just before an earnings announcement. It's a big red flag. If =
it happens, I'll generally wait for a bounce in the next day or 2 that =
begins to reverse and will sell into strength.
(3) 11/26/01--Breakout from sloppy 7 wk base. So, let's say someone =
bought on this breakout...let's see what comes next...
(4) 11/28/01--Reversal that closes below low of previous day just after =
B/O---I would take at least 50% off the table on this sell rule.
(5) 12/10/01-12/12/01--3 days closing just at "pivot"--red flag....stock =
has retraced to pivot, but not a sell rule in and of itself.
(6) 1/3/02--promising action on high volume--ok, this action is =
acceptable, might be ok afterall...but still the red flags are =
there...more red flags and this one should be out of the portfolio.
(7) 1/8/02-1/9/02--high volume with no progress for 2 days in a =
row---last red flag in my book, if I'd held the last 50%, it would be =
gone here.
(8) 1/10/02--high volume tail that closes below low of previous day--if =
I'd lost focus and missed the last sell, this would be the next sell =
signal.
(9) 1/14/02--gaps down on earnings day (earnings announced after market =
close)--sell rule hit---if I'd lost focus and missed everything =
else...this would be it.
(10) 1/15/02--bounces, but leaves a tail on close---last chance for the =
exits, a little bounce while the bargain hunters move in. Sell.
(11) 1/16/02--resolution. 2:46 pm, just before market close, Herb =
Greenberg article at theStreet.com points out possible accounting =
shenanigans and goofy CEO/CFO nonresponse to income statement inquiries. =
If I'd missed everything else and this plunged, an open protective stop =
set for "catastrophic loss" would have caught this on the way down.
(12) 1/16/02--Company issues response to Greenberg article after market =
close. I still can't figure out why a CFO couldn't have answered these =
questions when they were asked. Maybe he learned accounting somewhere =
other than the US and is still learning.=20
