All you need to do is make a bookmark to this location: Gmail Revert  (drag link into favorites or right click copy link location and then save as a bookmark)

Then log into Gmail.  Hit the bookmark from Gmail and you will see a notification stating that “Settings are being updated.”  Now click on the gear in the upper/left and select revert to old theme.

Very easy and affective.  It is likely that this will stop working at some point, hopefully by then they will have instituted an official classic theme.

1) Download Android Wifi Tether (I used 3.1 beta9)
2) Place on SDcard and install
3) Turn on WiFi (okay if no networks in range)
4) Open Wifi Tether
- On the first boot, go to settings and select the Samsung Fascinate as the phone
5) Start the tether.
- If it’s work you will see the Green download/red upload numbers
- If you don’t restart
- If you stop the tether you will need to restart before connecting to wifi or tethering again (sorry, it’s an unsupported phone, just be happy it works)

8/10 CSCO

MMI
- Initial loss after earnings, but has fought back
- On a bearish trend
- Earnings surpasses expectations
- ATR 1.5, so range from 26 to 20
- I would bet on calls, $25 strike, RR would be 3:1,
- Add to hit list

SI
- No after-market trading?
- Earnings look good, but did they live up to market expectations?
- ATR 2, so expect going to 132 or 124. This ATR has unacceptable RR
- ATR yesterday was 5.7. At 2 ATR RR is 6:1
- ATR ave over 2 weeks is 2.9
- So assume stock will moves 6 and set target as 135. RR is 2:1

Lessons learned in last week
- Risk reward is everything.
- Expecting good things is meaning less unless you can quantify it
- Movement can be measured in ATRs, for conservative bets use 2 ATRs
- Compare this with established trends/flags
- Ideally want > 3:1- Never bet against a trend before earnings,
- In-other-words, do not expect a rally day of even if indicators are good
- Volatility down after earnings, highest before
- Real time is important, you cannot rely on a middleman trader for accurate quotes
- Subscriptions to real-time info is cheap
- Commission can kill small trades
- Trades that have down poorly have PE/E ratios >40
- Dow not trade options on stocks that do not move, Vol / Avg > 500,000
