Hi jra2: Well, if chart reaedrs make you laugh at least we gove you a chuckle, a chortle, a guffaw even. Ok, I have an MBA but that's not why I'm a chasrt reader. I'm a technician, and a day-trader because it "works" for me. You wanna buy "good" companies when there's "blood in the streets" is ok. That's YOUR style and I assume it works for you. I don't buy or trade companies; I trade the stocks of companies, and they are Very Different Animals...both long and short. A final comment: the MM's do it every day.
