      When evaluating the potential of a post- or pre-mar-ket trade, youmust truly know the stock that is in play. If you have not extensivelyresearched the stock (this means more than just reading the entirearticle), don't even consider it. However, if you have done your homeworkand "know" the stock to be a real winner (or loser) and are willing towithstand a one- or two-day loss in the trade in anticipation of aninevitable strong price movement, then go for it. Otherwise, forget aboutthe trade or consider the next option.
