Hags,
I checked the 16 target hitters that never were in the buy zone. I couldn't find historical data on ISLN since it was bought out and delisted. The other 15 all went up more than 16% from the lowest price after I posted. Maybe I should just say "buy at tomorrow's open" instead of trying to squeeze out another 4% (gained by making buy zone 96% of close). Here are the 15 that were never in the buy zone and the % of closeness they got to the zone before reaching target.

ENTR 4.15%, NSU 3.20%, BORN 2.64%, CCME 2.83%, HL 3.66%, EXK 4.18%

PAL 2.94%, SPRD 3.00%, HYC 5.96%, DDS 2.47%, KOG 1.68%, IDCC 1.73%

WAVX .7%, MERC .88%, JDSU 2.33%

Now I'll check those that hit target and also dropped into the buy zone and see how they'd have faired had they been bought at next day's open.

Hmmm...how can it be counted as a win ifn' it never made it to the "buy" zone....

just wonderin'.....hags....

Hags,
Good question. I guess it's just another mystery of the market. I've got to do more research on these results since with MERC hitting target that makes 16/41 of the target hitters or 39% of them never in the zone. Many got within pennies or 1% so I may have to raise my buy zone. Currently it is 96% of the closing price the day it qualifies. Will have some more stats later today.

River,
The pressure is on. I hope you bought all those at or below the "buy" point. I've got 2 that are doing really good today. SIMG bought 12/15 at 7.18 and getting close to target and SRI. SRI making a nice comeback today after being below stop price, Now in buy range 15.31-16.12.
