Another nice day with solid climbs. Looks like the new baseline is .05 but I expect imho it will be higher tomorrow. Holding and adding as those with no patience give away their shares.

Yep, rough ride today everywhere. Expected better but it seems eveyone is trigger happy. I'm going to be reloading where it seems right on the lows as I think this breakout hasn't begun.

If I were gonna chart-trade this thing, I'd look for a break of *at least* .073, holding a close of at least .07 for some confirmation. ie, not necessarily holding HOD...but close to it.
If it busts out toward a dime during any one session? I'd be selling as efficiently as possible.

They came to us for a conversion assessment but made one change based on one of our recommendations and it had a significant impact to the bottom line. “I asked Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg to do a study of our web site and give us his results within 6 weeks. Within 8 hours they called to say they had found something we had to fix immediately, a hole through which we were losing 5% of our traffic. We fixed it that night and saw an immediate 5% lift in our sales. I have spent five and a half years in this game: The Eisenbergs are #1 in this game, and there is no #2." Patrick Byrne CEO, Overstock.com

Sample 15: Converting more visitors in to sales
The Perth Mint, an Australian government precious metal mint and marketing company, originally approached us to assess their current conversion process, they subsequently engaged us to assess their email campaigns and assist them in redesigning their site. The results, while not made public, allowed their key decision maker to start his own consulting company with The Perth Mint as his first client. Shifting the Membership/Newsletter signup to the top right hand corner in the shop has made a huge difference. Also, the way we've done it, with benefits on both sides, seems to have increased successful sign up rates as well. Mark Garner, The Perth Mint
