RE:RE:slow and dumberGoodtimes- Really? You don't watch the indexes go up and down and see how they correlate with your stocks? I have found that many stocks penny and larger go up and down with the Dow. I rarely sell when the Dow is down. I wait for an upswing and sell when I can get the most return on my investment. NXO has mimicked the Dow many times. Of coures there are times when this is not true but more often then not I have noticed it has been true. I'm not talking about an exact image either. There are certainly many facets to look at for every company in order to make informed decisions but the movement of the Dow has been a valuable tool for me. The W shape is one of the most watch and noted diagrams for when to buy and sell shares (Well documented).
