<<2Mar$, I would like to take credit for something, but it was a simple observation....>>>
But that's exactly what people posting here should willing to chance to do everyday often as they can . Just mention stocks that have price movement, might have bottomed or topped , and strongly trending . Then its up to everyone else to get clicking and do some charts , read up and refresh themselves with that company & the current market trend and make some decisions . And keep updates coming, with out "pumping".
I really concur with Bear , that constant near term negativity in this market has been pretty fruitless in light of the march up of so many stocks recently . Uptrending plays like GOOG , MSFT/ATYT , AAPL , INTC , and many of the others should have , imo , been a daily focus all the while . Not just sit back a go
"Oh look AAPL is up again"
There have been some great sysnergies going on though , and some good focus plays on a daily basis , like that bounce on MERQE for one . But the trending plays are golden when they come along , but also nice to catch the little bouncers too , which many will continue up. That's where the work comes in, I know I run tons of scans everyday and read the boards, review the news & analyst's comments and targets , look at charts , check the current stats and metrics, conferences and updates , etc etc, etc.
