  2. thanks Don... However, when I click on any of the links, I get the following message: "Webpage cannot be found"... Is there a way to work around the link not connecting when I click on it?

    For some reason, the links are saved the same way they appear in the message. That is, the links have "..." in them. I think they will work if you change the "..." to "hread."

    Lets assume that we somehow get in - I have not tried this yet so I am a bit skeptical.
    What about the exit?
    Probably there is a hard stop loss of 15-20 c.
    What about the profit taking? Do you use timed exit or trailing stop ?
    Thanks is advance.

  7. Everyone closes a bit differently. I teach our new people to place "winning" orders, usually for half their shares immediately. Then watch/listen/read your way out of the other half.

    We, of course, have automated programs to do all this as well.

    Today, small 3 fills up 14 cents.
