Also, DTV on the favorable Barron's article

BJ...If upside vol picks up...MTXX looks very interesting. I'm adding it to my watch...Thx

My pleasure, Doug. Obviously a blow-by 12.60 will get it rocking. Whatever happens will do so soon IMO.

Doug, I'd be negligent if I didn't thank you for your take on MTXX.

I should always pass my signature through Word's spellcheck, eh?

What a day...First my R/T DGO goes out(they say they did some reload and now I need to re-install tonight)...I buy CFCI and am up over 1.50...I set a stop and get washed out...made .50...But I lost .47sh which was more than I made on CFCI 'cause I owned more shs...then I bot WTSLA but missed selling it at the end because I was greedy and wanted a few cents more...now I find out they announce tomorrow...But that might be OK because SSS was +36%...Held through on CNTY w/o a stop...IIC

EDIT...the loser was APCS

Highlights
The nation's international trade gap widened further in February, to $61.0 billion from $58.5 billion in January and against expectations for $59.0 billion.

Imports rose sharply once again, up 1.6% to $161.5 billion. Exports continued to disappoint, unchanged from February at $100.5 billion. The lower value of the dollar has given exports little boost, suggesting that foreign competitors continue to sacrifice profit margins to protect market share.

Much of the rise in imports once again reflected higher energy costs related to oil. Petroleum imports surged 10.3%. Excluding petroleum, the nation's gap widened to $47.3 billion vs. $46.2 billion in February.

Imports of consumer goods rose $0.7 billion boosted by a sharp rise in textile & apparel imports from China (reflecting the end of import quotas).

But imports of capital goods fell, down $0.8 billion in a bit of a surprise, suggesting that domestic business investment, after a strong 2004, may be softening.

Among our trading partners, unadjusted data showed China way out in front with the largest gap followed by the EU, Japan and OPEC.

The dollar dipped only a bit on the trade report, though it shows no let up in currency outflows from the United States. Budget data later this afternoon are expected to show continued increases in the federal government's deficit. But the appetite among foreigners, especially from China and Japan, for U.S. financial assets is enormous, as Treasury International Capital data later on Friday are likely to once again show.

Market Consensus Before Announcement
The international trade deficit on goods and services widened sharply in January to $58.3 billion, reaching its second highest monthly trade deficit on record. Import growth continues to outpace export growth by a wide margin - thanks in part to surging crude oil prices

International trade balance Consensus Forecast for Feb 05: $-59 billion
Range: $-57 to $-61.4 billion

You and I are in the same boat there. If I were as smart as Spike:



I would have just waited for a return to 20. But, as long as the 50 DMA holds, I'll hold.

How do you like MTXX, Doug?

haha I love it when you guys post charts!

Early drops were partially due to the high end of the consensus on the trade deficit report. But, the Fed news sparked a late rally. What particularly pleased me was that Naz 1970 support held and that we actually closed above 1st level Naz resistance which was 2005. Even the volume picked up back to at least a reasonable level. But before I get all excited I would certainly like to see a few higher volume follow throughs.

Today I was -.16 on AAPL and +.92 on ORCT...Sold WTSLA early for an avg +.11. They delayed EPS again too. Heldover CNTY again...IIC
