8/31/2009 1:23:15 PM Hawkeyes, Not sure he actually used a filter (or even needed to) because financials have been so strong. He likely just saw ETFC getting large block activity and institutional activity while searching for other financials and it caught his attention. The runs lately in financials and biotech haven't really required filters because they have generally been the most active. |

8/31/2009 10:01:03 PM M$M, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed with stocks just yet even though I have a good background in other areas. I just wanted to say that I'm learning more from you recently than from any other single source. All contribute, of course, but you've opened up a lot of new ideas and resources so your willingness to share is deeply appreciated. Thank you. |
