Dimitris
Yes - thank you very much.
I can't help but think, however, that there must be 
a mathematical formula that will automatically calculate the "actual" 95% (or 
90% - or 83% - or whatever) based on each stock's own particular price 
history.  
 
But I can certainly work with this solution.  
Thanks again
Rick
