NEWSFLASH: CPQ is near 27 - everybody all aboard!
Re: FE, Resolving the position will for me mean holding for a pullback
(which looks like it is starting today thank God) and get out as close to
my entry of 30 1/8 as possible (I'll settle for 31 at this point).
Someone on this list once said, "The sin is not in being wrong. The sin is
in STAYING wrong."
I have sinned big time. FE dipped to 29 1/2 before the run up. I coulda,
shoulda, but didn't exit.

David,
Ouch is right. I don't know where you are in at but with interest dropping
the utilities will more than likely go up. With today's large range
expansion you may have a chance to get in another position to go short
higher
up. What usually happens is that when the price moves up to fast as
compared to the current ATR over the previous few days will either cause
one of two things to happen: Either the price will pullback on profit
taking or
it may trade sideways then move higher again. Generally the first one
happens. I know nothing of FE in terms of fundamentals do I am of no help
there. But your right it doesn't look pretty.
I hope you can find some way to resolve this position,
Harley
