Thanks, Duke, well said. Maybe IBD is just a "little confused"?? Or maybe they can't keep track of what they said yesterday, or last week? Just hope they are not becoming like so many other airhead media commentators, with little accountability for what they said before.

My recollection is, Mike, is to expect just that scenario you've described below, but ONLY when it CLOSES at the BOTTOM of the fall on high volume. Which poses a question: If it's noon, the stock is trading in the bottom of it's range on high volume, should you sell? (Those of you who use stops don't need to answer that...you're out already!) But what if it rebounds an hour later, and subsequently closes down somewhat, but higher than where it was at noon? Did I screw up selling too soon? The answer: See tomorrow's chart, then decide! Then you'd find that what it did (pullback slightly after breakout) was normal! "Remember when's" are more the rule than the exception these days. A few recent examples: How many remember this one (from my notes at a seminar ten years ago): "Only buy a stock after it CLOSES above its breakout on 150% or greater volume. Then buy it at the next day's opening price." Hmm. I know the volatile 90's necessitated a change, but the shakeouts I've encountered since January1 have caused me to reflect on this old rule. Then, just the other day, in Investor's Corner, "Only buy a stock within 5% of its pivot point, unless it gaps up at the open." So if it gaps up at the open is it okay to buy it if it's up 10% mid-day? I think I know the answer: Only if TOMORROW's says you should have. Then comes this a.m.'s Big Picture: "Defense contractors, home builders and some retailers that defied the market's recent correction are too extended above their prior bases to buy without risking a shakeout." I distinctly remember a recent comment therein that these are the stocks to consider, because they're done so well in a down market! You know, high Relative Strength? Finally, and hopefully this is only bordering on blasphemy: Today's Investors Corner says: "IBD founder William O'Neil says he's right only about half the time. The secret to his success? At an IBD advanced seminar last year, O'Neil said he's kept his losses at an average of about 4%. But when he finds a winner...." Excuse me, isn't 4% about half the 8% "insurance" he recommends? Could this be a misprint? I know this only proves we're all constantly developing our own variances on a theme. It's like I told my wife this morning: "You know, I think I'm going to get this whole process nailed down to perfection the day before I leave this world!" Ain't hindsight a wonderful thing? Now where did I put tomorrow's charts??? Happy hunting...
