Chinton,I agree with you,the market can go down and I think,the real bottom is not in yet.I will be convinced about the bottom, when I will see the Dow and Nasdaq going down on a very low volume. The recent rally, even with the buy signal generated by my system , DID NOT made me happy.
I have a different investing strategy, than many others. As an example,last year I bought MRVC for $6-7,when the book value was 1.Why I bough it. I knew the company,because they supply Uunet with many different components,like switches and routers. I even went for a stockholder meeting,with Mr.O'Neil (the best technical analyst in my opinion). I've meet the owner and his brilliant son working on the fibre research in the University. I was not mistaken,MRVC went to almost $200 and corrected unfortunately to $50 in the recent meltdown.
Why I am telling you about that,because I invest in what I know. Like a Janus, I have to visit a company before putting my money there. Number 1 is fundamental and after I just wait for a good entry based on technical analysis.
The same with WCOM, in 2 years, I will at least double in WCOM. Now PEG is less than 1, in 2 years it will be .6. This is the safest investment, safer than bonds now. What if WCOM one day will open 10% up, it already happened ??? I play with 10-15% of my position, but the rest I decided to hold for a long term. Regards, el |
