Michael: Without doubt other factors are and will be involved in the ultimate shakeout. How much more unravelling will we see before real estate, banking, and currency problems in the Pacific realm find comfort levels that they can live with??? How long before Brazil devalues their currency(the real), or will they be able to avoid it??? To what extent will our multi-national corporations, who sell quite extensively to the Asian , see their bottom line reduced? How much of the current selling on wall street is attributible to money managers locking in profits in order to keep their bonuses at those nice levels?? Those, and many other things will have a bearing on the ultimate "bottom" and when we reach it. I must admit that I did some selling on Tuesday BECAUSE I had some damned good profits, that I didn't want to risk AGAIN( like Monday). I had taken a good many chips off the table during the year, so I didn't feel like further exposure to risk after the Monday panic. I stared buying BORL again at 8.25, but quit at 9. I feel certain that we will test 8 again. I'm very liquid right now and am awfully glad about it. Tomorrow and Monday should present some buying opportunities, but am going to buy slowly. This thing may take some time. Luck, Jack Gibson PS Michael, how do you get this blasted computer to print the lines AS I TYPE THEM? Your posts are compact. Mine are shot-gunned all over the place. Can you tell me how to correct this? Many thanks. |
