                       The market is so volatile.  It would probably be best to wait for it to calm down.
                       We want to buy stocks whose CLosing Powers are rising and whose AI>0.
                       Very few stocks have these characteristics.

                       Consider these stocks for short-terms purchases and  trades of 10%-15%
