Hi Ed,

I'm glad Norm asked the question because your comment also piqued my
interest. Let me see if I understand you....

You are doing a visual examination of the chart, looking for a pattern
of
wide-range days, gaps up/down, wide-loose patterns, etc.?

Based on that assessment, you would avoid a chart that displayed too
many of
these volatile patterns?

What would you do if the stock displayed these patterns but has recently
tightened up?

Katherine

| Katherine you are incredibly resourceful.  We do not use ATR - we
| actually go through the daily charts to look for any historical
trading
| issues that may cause us a premature exit from our buy.  ATR may be
| misleading if one or two days are 10% in range.  Good Luck.

| Michael,
|
| With the PE on CSTR in the mid 70's, there is risk.  Even though WON
| doesn't really pay attention to PE, many do.  Second, this is not the
| first time CSTR has fallen so quickly.  One additional analysis we
| perform is to review charts form mini implosions.  There have been
many
| stocks we have passed over due to a volatile trading history.  Stocks
| that have recent (6 months) daily ranges of greater than 10% carry
| additional risks for Canslimers.

| I appreciate all the advice that I have gotten.  It is when stuff like
| this
| happens that makes me question a trading "method".  I'm sure if CSTR
| stays
| down, it will only be a matter of time before I see and IBD write up
| using
| their famous 20-20 hindsight to show why it was destined to fall.
Does
| anyone else see anything in the price volume action that would lead
them
| to
| believe that this was going to happen, or is it the M that is still
not
| strong enough?
|
| Okay, now I feel a bit better after venting.  Thank you all!

| Dear Mike
|
| CSTR was a favorite of many Canslimers - with the problems we faced
with
| buying CVH recently (too many chasing too few) we are seeing similar
| results, which unfortunately are on the downside.  You mentioned that
| you got into the office late.  Remember - there are people who do this
| for a living with millions at stake.  A slight smell of weakness and
| they may sell some of their position to take some risk off the table -
| selling begets selling and before you know it CSTR is down over 20%.
We
| have been in this situation several times before - and sold quickly -
| and yes much to our chagrin - some stocks came roaring back - but in
| other cases the stock kept declining.  Throw out your ego - sell - and
| if CSTR sets up again look at buying it.  I don't want to get too deep
| into wash sale rules, but you can't take and loss on CSTR if you buy
it
| back within 30 days.  Good luck

| Does anyone know what is going on with this stock?  Got in late to the
| office today and it is down 18%!!!
|
| I know we are supposed to sell at 7-8%, but now do I sell anyway, or
| wait
| it out to see if the day may turn a bit?
|
