<DIV>One of the stocks I like to trade is&nbsp;excite@xxxx (ATHM).&nbsp; It 
usually moves about 2-3 points a day.&nbsp; But I'm seeing something different 
right now and I wanted some help interpreting&nbsp;it.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It has pulled into a tight range and volume is drying 
up.&nbsp; So I'm looking for a bottom.&nbsp; But I am a trend trader looking for 
a point.&nbsp; And the trend still says "going down!"&nbsp; So when I get all my 
ducks in a row (MACD's and MA's&nbsp;all pointed down), I enter a short 
trade.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>What is unusual is the massive amount of support on the 
bid side.&nbsp; Despite the price dribbling down, there were tons of 
buyers.</FONT>&nbsp;Yesterday I took the trade and the price broke down and I 
made a half.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I tried the same thing today, but the price never really broke down and I 
got out at my entry price.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The unusual part is that despite a&nbsp;steady downtrend, the bidders were 
lined up 30,000 shares deep every quarter.&nbsp; There were still enough sellers 
to make the price keep slowly moving down, but why all the buyers?&nbsp; Do they 
smell a bottom or is it that money managers are trying to move so much cash into 
techs?&nbsp; I heard today there were record mutual fund cash inflows this 
month.&nbsp; Is anybody else seeing this kind of unusual buying in a downtrend? 
Am I missing something obvious?</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>

Would anyone have any knowledge of how to split the data feed to receive data 
on two computers?  I presently use D.T.N. with W.O.W. Day Trader software , 
and just experienced a loss of 2 days data due to a computer crash.  At least 
if the data is split I will have a back-up in the event happening again.
  
Thank you,
Donna
