stunning collapse JPMorgan Chase it will acquire rival Bear Stearns

[feh]

No doubt Sweeps. I am looking at the indices to test the recent lows. If it holds then I'm getting in. The more time it bounces of the numbers the stronger that support line.

Yes, BA, I am using technical signals to drive my buying. Yes, more trader metric then investor at this moment. When I research, I start at the macro level, then industry, then fundamental for my target companies, and then use technicals to try to see shorterm what the traders are thinking. It's usually trendlines. I also use stop loss to limit my losses. Again, trader short term due to the volatility.

Good luck all!!! And keep you eyes on the trend lines.

I bought equities Tuesday morning with the proceeds from the sale of my gold fund from late February.

I'm investing for retirement. From that perspective, I think it's an excellent time to be buying.
