Jan, as you requested...here are the three stocks that have been responsible for my rise in the contest. I've added a short bit about why I like them, and included P&F charts courtesy of the DWA web page (with permission from Tom). Please remember, I'm a rookie P&F'er, and there is a large element of luck involved with my success with these stocks. The loser's in my portfolio (UAL and PFE) aren't discussed because obviously I haven't been proven right on them. Here goes: CNXT - Brought to my attention by another investor as a spin-off from ROK, with a great product in the rapidly advancing telecom "chip" business. I loved (and still love) the business this company is in. Jun. 1st - 38 ½ Recent- 59 Gain % - 53.2 62 61 60 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 59 X 58 X Top 57 X 56 X X 55 ------------------------------------------------------------X O X ---------- 54 X X O X 53 X O X O X 52 X O X O 51 X O 50 --------------------------------------------------------X ------------------ 49 X 48 X 47 X 46 X 45 ------------------------------------X ------------------X ------------------ 44 X O X 43 X O X 42 X O X X X 41 X O X O X O X X 40 ------------------------------------X O X O 5 --X O X O 6 -------------- Med 39 X O X O X O X O X O X 38 X O O X O X O X O X 37 X O O X O O X 36 X O X O X 35 ------------------------------------X --------O X ----O X ------------------ 34 X O O * 33 X * 32 X X * 31 X O X * 30 --------------------------------X O X ------------------* ------------------ 29 4 O X * 28 X O * 27 X * 26 X * 25 ----------------------------X --X ------------* ---------------------------- 24 X X O X * As you can see, by Jun 1st, it had already retraced to fill the gap that was established during its run from 32 to 45. This looked like a good place to get in, and with a break of the double-top, I was expecting that It might run. As you can see, I was right! :*) ORCL - I've owned ORCL for quite some time now. My best buy-in is at a split-adjusted 12.5. That was luck, and I've had some buys since then that haven't been as good. On the non-TA side, I've always liked them because they are the #2 software company in the world and 8 of the top-10 websites are backed by ORCL db's. Now compare their PE to that of MSFT.. what a value!

Rising bottoms also! GNET - Go2net! Who doesn't love this one. Everyone knows that type-1 Internets (see the Techride thread) always return to their old highs, and the high for GNET is 199! Paul Allen just picked up a ton of this, now owning 34% of the company. A baby in the Internet world, but gaining quickly!

After all, it's an Internet stock! <G> The Fundementals are what I like about GNET, and I thought it was well worth the chance (with the double- Bottom break) to go ahead and jump on it. GOOD LUCK TO ALL! -Joe
