Jeff,

I use cwhcharts.com. I have been using it for couple weeks with the email =
alert and so far I have made about 5%. Ofcourse, I pick and choose what =
stocks I want but atleast it narrows the universe down to just the Earth. =
Then I select the city that I want to visit.=20

This is the service that Katherine works with. I have to say that I am =
impressed. There are some stability issues but cwhcharts.com is working =
diligently to fix those problems.

Regards,
Pritish

Hi Katherine,

Thanks for all the info. you published over the
weekend!

You mention a Breakout Alert Service.  May I ask the
name of this service?  I'm not ready to subscribe, but
it would be nice to know for the future.

Best Regards, jeff gasta
