Chat Will Resume Next Week

The Chat will resume next week except that instead of being a pre-open chat it will be a post-close chat. I'm thinking 4:30-5:30 PM, ET. My chatroom does not cost anything and I would never try to create some kind of phoney exclusivity by making it "invitation or referral only." I'll leave that schtick to the hopelessly lame and clueless.

TASER's Textbook Chart

I last wrote about TASR in January, pointing out its textbook test of top. Price has finally dropped through the bottom part of the "change of trend" zone, which means that's all she wrote, hasta la vista, baby.

The sad thing is that instead of paying 30 cents or $3 a share, most folks paid between $15 and $30 for TASR and have had their heads handed to them. As David Byrne once sang: Same As It Ever Was.
