Skeeter: Don't blame you. As Larry notes, the trend is your friend, etc. Couldn't resist, and jumped Newbridge (long) for a "buy-the-dip" bounce. I'll have to turn in my Darth Vader cape and mask. (g) I share the view of a good friend of mine that the bulls will prevail for the next few weeks....Clinton slips off the hook, the Olympics about to start, the money keeps pouring in, etc. But then the "pre-announcements" get underway, and I think they will be "interesting", to say the least, particularly to the crazies who think that Asia is "on the mend" (CNBC). I note that early indications suggest that U.S. exports to Asia are down 10% (year-over-year) already. Once Q1 previewing starts, we shall see just how solid is the footing of those climbing the current "wall of worry". Best, Earlie |
