Blain,

DRYS did a nice bounce off 70. I was watching it and waiting to snag it at 66…but got busy with work and the family..and lost sight of it.

Hi Richard,

After watching coal today I would be very careful as most of these stocks look like they are having climax runs. To open up and now be down on high volume is not a bullish sign short term. Even a one week rest could do wonders for the group as a whole.

Just IMO though. Good luck out there!
