02:53.42nick125_anyone here got any ideas on why my gentoo/xen setup isnt booting?
02:53.53maquisnick125_: my bet is on the kernel
02:54.42nick125_maquis: I dont know what to check in the kernel though
02:55.12nick125_because, i dont think its launching init
03:12.49nick125_i have a feeling im gonna screw something up
03:14.13ScytheBlade1Mmmm, gentoo
03:14.31nick125_wewt 7.0 is emerging
03:15.41ScytheBlade1I did that a while ago
03:15.48ScytheBlade1Installed ~100 out of 289 packages
03:15.51ScytheBlade1It was so very nice

03:46.41maquisnick125_: are your filesystem drivers built in?
03:48.24nick125_yep, already checked that
03:48.47nick125_it shows the root filesystem being mounted before the freeing kernel memory part
03:53.05nick125_maquis: im starting to run out of hope of getting it working ever.
03:53.20maquisnick125_: just keep working
03:53.26maquisyou'll get it somehow
03:54.26nick125_the kernel is recompiling..tried removing some stuff from the kernel to try to make it not have 560 kernel modules
04:06.23nick125_got it down to 234 modules
04:09.34nick125_umm...
04:09.50nick125_i wonder if forgetting to install a system logger would cause this problem
04:10.03findlaydoubt it
04:10.55nick125_any ideas what would cause it to halt?
04:11.14findlaycould be a lot of things
04:11.59nick125_such as? (i would really appriciate it if you could help me figure out what is going on so i can fix it)
04:12.12findlayneed info
04:12.22findlaywhat kinds of errors, etc.
04:12.37nick125_it locks up at "Freeing unused kernel memory: xxk"
04:13.34nick125_i tried doing stuff like appending init=/bin/bash in grub, and bash didnt come up, and, it mounts / fine
04:14.07findlaydid you try a genkernel?
04:14.16nick125_nope
04:14.55nick125_i heard of alot of errors with genkernel and the xen-sources package..plus, genkernel is just not my type
04:14.58nick125_:)
04:15.18findlayoh, you're talking about booting inside of xen?
04:15.35nick125_im making the dom0 (the host system)
04:16.24findlayI probably couldn't help much then
04:18.17nick125_somethings better then nothing :/
04:19.23findlayexperiment more?
04:19.32findlaythat's about all I can say
04:21.50nick125_i think its kernel, but, i have no clue where to look
04:23.56findlaymy advice, which may or may not differ from a sensible person, then is to go systematically through menuconfig, remove every option that you don't need and read the inline help on the ones you aren't sure about
04:24.11nick125_would commenting out the swap line in the /etc/fstab cause the problem? :/
04:24.38findlaythis may take a very long time, but after a few (dozen) recompliles you will have a much firmer grasp of how the kernel is designed at least
04:24.48findlayit might
04:25.05nick125_i commented it out a long time ago trying to see if that was causing the problem..
04:25.20nick125_i think ive recompiled the xen kernel like..6 times..in QEMU
04:25.22findlayswap is not really that necessary
04:26.25nick125_it looks like (i was looking at some dmesg logs) swap comes after the unused kernel memory is freed
04:33.49nick125_i wonder if selinux is being a problem..

05:29.43elgmrpull-: I tend to be boring, but then I tend to get tired of being boring

05:30.58dilvieyeah, urm.  We have nickserv here.  =)
05:31.13elgeven though I shouldn't. I grabbed it fair and square back when they cleaned out the nick registry. ;-)

05:31.30mrpull-ok dilvie:  let us hear it!
05:31.41xbmodder_lappymheath is my only way, but its he won't give me the answer.
05:31.44elgI still own it. sometimes I kick him when I need  apower trip
05:31.55elgless fuss than turning off reply-to on plug
05:32.07mrpull-it is dumb.  last name is pollmann... my friends used to call me mister pull to give me crap.  i adopted it instead of fighting it.
05:32.43dilviemy nick was originally lynx (bbs days).. then I got on the internet, and there were too many people using that nick, so I changed it to dilvish (a character from Dilvish, the Damned, a fantasy novel by Rodger Zelazney).
05:32.45elgelg is danish for moose, btw.
05:32.46xbmodder_lappy:-/
05:33.16elgnobody knows how xbmodder* got his name
05:33.18findlayI always thought it was E-L-G, (:
05:33.19dilvieI was hanging out on #trax in '95, just after it split from efnet #coders
05:33.23mrpull-elg:  what is danish for elk?
05:33.37dilviestaying up until the sun came up, talking to a bunch of aussie demosceners
05:33.39elgprobably elg. :) moose and elk are similar
05:33.48dilvieand they kept shortening it to "dilvie"
05:33.51elgnot sure how similar
05:33.55dilvieand it eventually stuck.
05:34.08dilviesee how many references to geek culture I managed to cram into that story?
05:34.13leviI went by 'Hedgehog' on the Lower Lights BBS in SLC.  I'm not sure why.
05:34.13xbmodder_lappyelg, oh, I used to hangout on EFnet in #xbins (xbox modding channel)
05:34.24mrpull-like how bison and buffalo are similar?  ;-)
05:34.30elgI used to go by yodler
05:34.41mrpull-levi:  Sonic?  He was the man.
05:35.00elgit's still a cool nick, but my memories of me as yodler are a bit childish
05:35.00levimrpull-: No, it didn't have anything to do with Sonic.
05:35.26elgsjansen would roll in his grave if he knew how I used to behave on irc. ;-)
05:35.40mrpull-dilvie:  the nerd factor was pretty high on that one
05:35.42leviHeh.
05:36.03mrpull-elg:  sjansen is dead?
05:36.03levielg: Hopefully not like xbmodder and/or mheath!
05:36.16elgno, but those planes are kind of like coffins
05:36.23elgat least for big people like me
05:36.30nick125_woah
05:36.36elglevi: much more annoying
05:36.38nick125_no wonder why that kernel couldnt mount /dev/hda3
05:36.39elgbut maybe less arrogant
05:36.46nick125_it didnt have ATA/ATAPI support
05:36.48elgyou know, mirc, auto-dcc sound files, that sort of thing
05:36.53elgcolors
05:37.04elgwe didn't have bots where I used to hang out though.
05:37.06mrpull-elg:  I cant see it.
05:37.07dilviewe should do a big #utah bbq this summer.
05:37.12dilviethat would be neat.
05:37.23dilvieeverybody bring laptops
05:37.27dilvieshow off our latest hacks.
05:37.32elgwe can all irc while we eat!
05:37.43dilvieelg:  of course.
05:37.54elgmrpull-: is that sarcasm?
05:38.06elgoh, and I forgot the netsplits
05:38.12Newsomehrm.  Can we have the bbq next week so it's before I leave?
05:38.33elgundernet had some pretty impressive netsplits, and we figured out how to ride them, pretending to be other people and getting in time-delayed arguments with ourselves
05:38.37findlayNewsome: where are you going!??@!
05:38.37dilvienick:  mental note:  ATA/ATAPI support = important.
05:38.38mrpull-elg:  not at all.  i gather you are a good guy.  i've never thought you were being annoying.  (Even when baited to)
05:38.41elgNewsome: where you going?

05:42.52dilvieno UBS tour.
05:42.53elgit would be fairly anticlimactic to finish it and nobody to share it with

05:44.53elgand also free as in I don't have to click through 10 pages and give out my pet's blood type
05:45.28elgand also free as in it won't stop working after two weeks or two hours

05:54.16dilviemaquis:  yes.
05:54.59maquisdilvie: the "what is knobtweakers" link is broken
05:55.06maquisjust thought i'd pass that along
05:55.30dilviemaquis:  I know.  Thanks.  =)
05:55.40maquisdilvie: cool :)
05:55.55dilviehehe
05:55.57dilviedo you like the site?
05:56.04maquislooks pretty nice
05:56.47dilviethe "what is knobtweakers" bit is one of the many broken new features.  =)
05:56.59dilvieit's just waiting to be slapped into the template and uploaded.
05:57.01maquisi've been trying to expand my music interests somewhat recently :)
05:57.14dilvieI also broke the music player.
05:57.19maquis:)
05:57.22dilvieand that's unfortunate, because it's very cool.
05:57.30maquisalways good to at least know *what* you broke :)
05:57.34dilvieit plays the music that's hyperlinked on the page.  =)
05:57.48dilvieI'm fixing the music player right now.
05:57.53maquiscool
05:58.09maquisdoes it require any plugins?
05:58.09dilvieworking example here:  http://www.knobtweakers.net/netlabel/ktwk001/
05:58.15dilvieuh, flash, I believe.
05:58.17dilvie);
05:58.29maquiserm...  hmmm
05:58.32dilvieunfortunately, mp3 playback isn't built in to most browsers.
05:58.34dilvieehehe
05:58.36maquisi really need to get that working
05:59.04findlaydilvie: what would you play otherwise?
05:59.21dilviefindlay:  what do you mean?
05:59.36findlayfor mp3 playback on the browser
06:00.30dilviewhat would I play for mp3 playback on the browser?
06:00.41dilvieam I retarded?
06:00.52dilviethat doesn't seem to make sense..
06:01.12findlayif mp3 playback is built into most browsers, you would play some mp3, right?
06:01.33dilviefindlay:  oh, yeah, uh, you apparently missed the conversation.
06:01.39dilviehttp://www.knobtweakers.net/
06:02.27dilviemaquis:  anyway, you don't need flash to appreciate the best of compilation, which provides a good overview of the type of music featured on knobtweakers
06:02.29dilviehttp://www.knobtweakers.net/netlabel/ktwk001/
06:12.47maquisdilvie: cool
06:12.57maquisi'll look through those a bit
06:13.06dilvieenjoy.
06:13.10maquisi will
06:13.10maquis:)
06:13.53maquiswhat does "not podsafe" mean?  not for podcasting?
06:14.42dilvieyeah, it means don't put it in a podcast without getting permission from the copyright holder
06:15.11dilviemost of it is podsafe
06:15.16maquisah
06:15.17dilviebut a couple pieces are not
06:15.47dilviedance with someone else vocal edit
06:15.47maquisi'd never heard that term, but i'm not really into the podcast scene that much :)
06:15.49dilvienot podsafe
06:16.03dilviehide and seek remix is not podsafe
06:16.13dilvieinto the light -- not podsafe
06:16.55dilvieneither is fingerpaint

06:17.08dilvieI think the rest are

17:42.28Uncle_Jesseis there an Ubuntu repository somewhere with Firefox 1.5 in it?
17:47.27maquisUncle_Jesse: you might want to grab http://uug.byu.edu/ubuntu.tgz
17:48.04maquisthere's a script in there that'll update your sources.list, and it'll also give you some optons of some other cool stuff to install (flash, java, etc)
17:48.22maquisyou can thank michael moore for it (he's come in a few times under the name stuporglue)
17:49.03Uncle_Jesselike the liberal michael moore?
17:49.07maquisno
17:49.13maquislike the uug's michael more :)

17:49.18Uncle_Jesselol - cool
17:49.22maquis:)
17:49.28Uncle_JesseI don't think I've met him before
17:49.30Uncle_Jessethx
17:50.04maquishe's also got some things as options on the script that you probably aren't *as* interested in (like "libraries needed for cs240 chess project") :)
17:50.20maquisbut it's a useful script that i've started pointing out to people
17:52.21findlaythink of him as more like Sir Thomas Moore
17:53.43Uncle_JesseI think I'm going to reinstall with kubuntu instead as well - I like kde much better than gnome
17:54.53findlayisn't the difference just a couple of packages?
17:56.02Uncle_Jesseyeah - I guess I could just install kde, but I'm very interested to see how kubuntu sets up kde out of the box - gnome was very pretty on first install.
17:56.47Uncle_JesseI'd say of all the distros I've tries so far, Ubuntu gets it - easy install, and it "just works"
17:57.00Uncle_Jesseand pretty interface out of the box too
17:57.13Uncle_Jesselooking forward to see if google does something with it

18:28.25Uncle_Jessewow - I can't believe the ease of setup of this Ubuntu install
18:28.39Uncle_JesseI would probably proudly let my grandma use this one
18:28.52mheathHaha, I was just having this same discussion in another channel.

18:29.12mheathUbuntu is nice. I think all I did was press enter about 4 times (with one reboot in the middle)
18:29.19Uncle_Jesseyeah
18:29.25Uncle_Jessebut you can also be specific if you want
18:29.31Uncle_Jesseseems faster than fedora too
18:29.31mheathIt's the only linux distribution I feel comfortable giving to people who are only mildly familiar with computers and saying "Here, try this."
18:29.50digistici'm running ubuntu now and am impressed.. although i'm a linux neophyte... save for a bit of knowledge and emcnabb's teaching
18:29.50Uncle_Jesseare they a public company?

18:30.08digisticubuntu is all about free
18:30.12Uncle_Jessedarn - I like to invest in technologies that impress me
18:30.34digisticmaybe a spinoff company will actually support ubuntu.. u could invest in that if they were public

18:31.50digistici'd stay away from GOOG for now
18:32.09lars-utUncle_Jesse: $196
18:32.13Uncle_Jessedigistic: I kinda feel the same way - they need to stable out a bit
18:32.21Uncle_Jesselars-ut: that's cheaper than a nano too
18:32.28digisticUncle_Jesse, :  do u like technical analysis?
18:32.42Uncle_Jessedigistic: some times
18:32.51digistici've been learning and put some of my thoughts on a wiki:  http://digistic.wikispaces.com
18:34.35digisticGOOG has negative divergence in Chaikin Money Flow, neg divergence in MACD, below 0 in MACD.. at RSI of 31.3 it is technically a bit oversold... not all indicators confirm.. most are negative.. i'd stay away
18:35.16Uncle_Jesseyeah - I also go off of gut instinct and my gut says to wait on this one
18:35.23digisticneg divergence in +DI for ADX
18:35.28digisticyah
18:35.38Uncle_JesseI am very interested in seeing what Vonage sells for in its IPO though
18:35.45digistici like stockcharts.com
18:36.00digisticIPOs scare me kinda
18:36.25digisticcuz TA is based on price history, volume, etc.. and there's just no data to support yet
18:36.57Uncle_JesseI haven't spent much time researching out there.  I generally just follow the analyst opinion, as well as hype and popularity of the stocks. I then watch their finances for long-term stability and to decide how soon to sell
18:36.59digisticvonage needs to implement QOS before peeps can take VOIP seriously in consumer sector
18:37.08Uncle_JesseIt's worked for me so far
18:37.12digisticu use vonage?
18:37.16Uncle_Jessedigistic: yeah
18:37.28Uncle_JesseI wouldn't recommend it for my grandma though, unless I set it up
18:37.34digistichow hard do u drive your internet connection?
18:37.41digisticdropoffs?
18:37.48Uncle_Jessedigistic: pretty hard, but my linksys router supports qos
18:37.55Uncle_Jessethere were dropoffs before the qos
18:37.56digisticahhh, which router?
18:38.06digisticdid u install new firmware or stock?
18:38.31Uncle_Jesselinksys srx200, stock firmware at the moment
18:38.37Uncle_JesseI've used other firmwares before though
18:38.50Uncle_Jesseyou have to download the latest off their website though to get qos
18:39.24digistici read IBD and like to filter stocks from IBD 100, IBD 85-85, IBD New America.. i import these stocks into stockcharts.com chart lists and look at the charts in candleglance so can see 32 charts at a time
18:39.37Uncle_JesseI'm using the medium quality on the vonage settings, not many problems at all thus far
18:39.51digisticok.. but why use vonage if u have a cell phone?
18:40.02Uncle_Jesseyeah - that's a good idea on the stocks
18:40.13Uncle_Jessedigistic: my wife likes to have a real phone to work with
18:40.30Uncle_Jessealso, for 2 cellphones it's more expensive
18:40.35digisticahh, that's why i'm not married... don't have to buy vonage
18:40.47Uncle_Jessethan a cheap, low-hour family plan and vonage
18:40.49digisticmakes sense though
18:41.07Uncle_JesseI'm a big fan of it now though - get voicemail in my e-mail now
18:41.21digisticmy company was looking at consumer voip for mobile workers
18:41.22Uncle_JesseI'd love to see them offer a free desktop client though
18:42.01digisticdid some analysis and recommended callvantage / vonage... but they just need to make QOS work out of the box
18:42.46digisticvonage seems much more mainstream than skype
18:43.03Uncle_JesseI still think with the IPO they may be able to do that.  I think the popularity and being the top in their game may make their stock go up on trading day.
18:43.42Uncle_JesseThe question comes, what is google going to be doing in regards to voip?
18:43.46digisticso you're going to watch it closely if u see momentum? and if so, hop on?
18:44.00Uncle_JesseThey do have google talk, and it could be an excellent advertising source and consumer data source.
18:44.17*** join/#utah synic (n=synic@pdpc/supporter/student/synic)
18:44.23Uncle_Jessedigistic: I'm going to see what their stock is listed to start at and base my decision on that
18:44.33lars-utI still have problems if I don't throttle down bittorent traffic - I wonder if I put my Motorola ATA on a DMZ if that will stop
18:44.36digisticthe point of google talk is interoperability for chat clients.....
18:44.49Uncle_Jesselars-ut: do you have qos on your router?
18:44.57lars-utI still have problems if I don't throttle down bittorent traffic - I wonder if I put my Motorola ATA on a DMZ if that will stop
18:45.03digisticbase decision on initial stock price??
18:45.05Uncle_Jessedigistic: I am willing to bet they integrate it into some sort of voip solution though
18:45.06lars-utoops
18:45.16lars-utUncle_Jess: yes - with pfsense
18:45.37digisticgoogle talk? yeah, of course they will eventually... msn is doing this with live messenger
18:45.50Uncle_Jessedigistic: what they're listing to start their IPO stock price at
18:45.58digisticlive messenger, google voip talk... these will just be skype competitors
18:46.11digisticbut i don't think it's a direct competitor to vonage
18:46.53digisticwhy do u care what the stock price is listed at?  i only care about where stock price is trending
18:46.53Uncle_Jessedigistic: I don't think skype is a competitor, but I do think google could be.  If they pull off this private internet like they want to, they will eventually essentially be a consumer phone service
18:46.55lars-utUncle_Jesse: I've only tried QoS by host address & traffic types so far though
18:47.17lars-utport numbers/protocols
18:47.20scottjany recommendations on a good torrent client for windows?

18:48.27Uncle_Jessedigistic: they just partnered with a wireless provider out in CA, and plan on offering their own, free internet to customers willing to participate
18:48.49nick125_yay xorg-x11 7.0 didnt screw up my system
18:48.58digistici read about that... why do u think, UJ?
18:49.05lars-utdidigistic: not sure - I use bittornado from command line on *nix
18:49.34digisticooh, command line torrent.. nice
18:49.42Uncle_Jessedigistic: I think if that works out, and they expand their service worldwide, it gives them grounds to own their own network for consumer phone calls
18:49.50scottjwhat do you think a reasonable P/E  or maketcap for vonage is?
18:50.09Uncle_Jessethey are all about advertising, and the more consumer data and trends they can collect, the more targeted and valuable advertising they can provide
18:50.28digistichonestly, i don't care about P/E or market cap in making buy/sell decisions.. but others think differently
18:50.38Uncle_Jessescottj: it all depends on the hype around the stock when it goes public
18:51.22lars-utdigistic: 'nice btdownloadcurses.py --url "http://s4.hopto.org:89/SSS_win_2006.01.iso.torrent" --max_upload_rate 1010' works well in a screen session...
18:51.24digisticwireless provider? like 802.11?  wonder if wimax will take off.... or by wireless u mean 3g cell networks?
18:51.26Uncle_Jesseif there's a lot of hype and tv advertising, a higher price may be possible to go up.  That is probably not the best way of deciding whether to buy stocks or not though - it's just what's worked for me
18:51.37scottjdigistic: just a gut-feeling investor?
18:52.00digisticnot gut feeling at all!  i study TA and look at fundamentals via IBD
18:52.06digisticmade 50% last month
18:52.09Uncle_Jessescottj: that's more of my style
18:52.31Uncle_JesseI rely a lot on the experts though
18:52.43Uncle_Jesselet them do the stat studying
18:52.54digistici have an investing mentor too....

18:52.57ibotdooom doooom doom
18:53.15digisticUncle_Jesse: I agree... I like to read the experts views too...
18:53.40digisticwell, the experts i take creedence in
18:53.45Uncle_Jesseyeah - it's hard to say any one method - I just kind of take the lump sum of it all, and then rely on my gut feeling
18:53.54digisticyup
18:54.01Uncle_JesseSuze Orman always says if your gut says no, then don't do it, and I agree
18:54.50digisticso u like ETF's? stock portfolio?
18:56.04Uncle_Jessedigistic: what's an ETF?
18:56.24digisticexchange traded fund.... like a mutual fund without the fees, i think
18:57.06Uncle_Jesseah - haven't dealt much with those.  I do most of my trading within my IRA.
18:57.16Uncle_JesseI like International funds
18:57.24Uncle_Jesseat the moment at least
18:57.30digisticwhich ones?
18:57.43digisticgood time to be bullish on telecom stocks
18:57.46Uncle_Jessedigistic: I'm doing one from Fidelity at the moment that's done well for me
18:58.08digisticoh, just general international and not focused on a certain country or region?
18:58.20Uncle_JesseRHAT did well for me a couple years ago - 5x the price I bought it for now
18:58.25Uncle_Jessedigistic: yes
18:58.56digistic5xer? very nice...
18:59.18Uncle_Jesseyeah - that's a little known one that has done very well
18:59.19digistici'm in CHRW and BMD at the moment
18:59.42Uncle_Jesse~quote CHRW
18:59.55digisticoh, heh.. nice
18:59.57Uncle_Jesse~quote BMD
19:00.09Uncle_Jessewhat companies are those?
19:00.18Uncle_Jesse(or funds)
19:00.31digisticCH Robinson Worldwide (Trucking Firm)
19:01.02Uncle_Jesseinteresting - wouldn't that go down though with gas prices doing what they are?
19:01.04digisticBirch Mountain Resources (metals or other natural resources i think)
19:01.15digistictransports had been doing well
19:02.06Uncle_Jesseinteresting - haven't thought of those to do well lately
19:02.14digistici've seen experts i care about recommend CHRW recently.... it struck above resistance, and i swooped in
19:02.15Uncle_Jessewonder why they're doing well now
19:02.42Uncle_Jessegas prices just scare me away from anything that uses gas-related
19:02.50digisticnot sure.... not sure i care... only care that they are doing well ;)
19:02.55Uncle_Jesseyeah - definitely
19:03.09Uncle_Jessegut and trends are what to go by for sure
19:03.33digisticyeah.. and if trend starts to weaken or change... then i slowly sell off
19:03.34Uncle_Jessemy flaw is I let logic overpower my spending at times
19:03.49Uncle_JesseI could have made a ton with Google had I just followed my gut
19:03.57digisticwas heavy in AAPL and sold all @ 84 a while ago
19:04.06Uncle_Jessedigistic: I wish I had back then, too
19:04.14maquis~verbify sjansen
19:04.20digistici've actually just started investing for real like 6 months ago
19:04.24Uncle_JesseI'm going to have to wait until Christmas season again I'm worried
19:04.46digisticworried about AAPL?
19:04.57Uncle_JesseI've been doing it on and off for the last 7, but I'm by far no expert
19:05.14Uncle_Jessedigistic: not too worried, but I have a feeling they're not going to go back up to 84 until EOY
19:06.18digisticAAPL just going through a correction.. i'll look to get back in it eventually.... trying to pick out the bottom....
19:06.56Uncle_Jesseyeah - I'm hoping
19:07.11digisticthey have cool products in the pipeline... new version of OS X, Mac Mini DVR, wireless Ipod, Ipod with touch screen interface
19:07.17Uncle_JesseI'm holding off on selling though until they get to at least 80, depending on the trend
19:07.34Uncle_Jesseyeah - I'm kinda hoping those drive the stock price
19:07.41Uncle_JesseI think they're on fire right now business-wise
19:07.43digisticread an article on digg showing how a nano substance could be used to harden the screen on ipods to prevent scratches
19:07.52digisticholding off on selling?
19:07.56Uncle_Jessethat would be cool
19:07.59digistichoping it gets higher...?
19:08.01Uncle_Jessedigistic: yeah, for now
19:08.09digistici assume you already have a profit?
19:08.21digisticyou're prob a more long-term investor
19:08.29Uncle_Jessedigistic: not really - I just bought them end of last year around $70 or so
19:08.46digistici'm gonna look at the chart now
19:09.01Uncle_JesseI bought off of their fire, also due to Christmas season being a good time for retailers
19:09.08maquisgah
19:09.23Uncle_Jessewell, last christmas season at least
19:09.32digisticthe chart still doesn't look good
19:09.44digisticit very well may go down a fair amount more
19:10.17digisticcould see it hitting 60... prob no lower than 55

19:13.35digisticcandleglances.. so i can see lots of charts at same time.. more efficient
19:14.20digistici like that.. because i'm looking at a universe of stocks with good fundamentals.... and then i just focus on good charts
