q:

>>One thing to note when you said this time it was different is that with so many wounded hedge funds, where do you find the supporters to keep the momentum going?<<

Value players are first. They picked us up from the bottom
about 1000 DOW points ago. They are still adding to position
slowly. TONS of $$ on the sideline. We don't need "irrational
exuberance" for those folks to get in. They just have to
be convinced that the company they buy will make some
kind of profits
. That's the big advantage COMS has.

But, also, more investors are feeling that the economy will
improve rapidly because of rate-cuts, etc. With rates
so low, they are willing to take the risk if probabilities
of '99 profits are going up. AND, the outlook for '99 is
improving with these rate-cuts.

If I had a business, this would be a great time to cut
costs by refinancing loans and taking out new ones at
these historical low rates. Of course, "credit crunch" would
stop me at the moment, but since Uncle Al is on my side
now, I'd believe he will help me get soon get those great
cheap money.
