Hi Tom I have had computer porblems for the past two weeks so I have been out of touch. I had a 32 meg. DIMM OR SIMM (whatever they call them) go bad. I did get my newport backed up and some of my data files but it has been interesting (not) trying to get my system back to where it was. Anyway I promised to keep everyone posted on my progress with my QQQ AIM account. So here it is. If you remember I closed my UOPIX account and opened my QQQ account and as it turns out I caught the top of the NAS 100 at 114. I have also changed my safe values based on your and Bernie's suggestion. I was using 10% buy and sell safe values but have changed to 0% buy and 10% sell. Account history is as follows: 4/25/99 initial purchase 150 @ 114.00 5/30/99 bought 10 @ 102.00 6/13/99 bought 10 @ 103.5625 6/13/99 added 10 @ 103.5625 I added the additional shares on 6/13/99 to lower my cash position which was a little rich. So right now my QQQ account information is: Buy Safe 0% Sell Safe 10% Min. Trade $1000 Hold Range 100.858 to 125.248 cash 37% Results -1% I have had some problems in understanding how to use the Newport program because when I added the 10 shares the dollars didn't come from cash like I wanted but Newport said I added dollars to the original investment and didn't change the cash reserve. So I had to do some changes to get the PC and Cash Reserve right. I think I got it OK? I guess what you have to do is buy shares (not add shares). But because Newport looks at this like a normal buy it only adds 1/2 the value to PC. So I changed the PC to reflect the whole cost for the shares. Did I get this right? Oh well the numbers seem to be right. Hope your recovery is going well. Larry G

OT - ADCT / SAVLY Tom, Looks like I'm going to own some of your ADCT after all. They just announced an acquisition of SAVLY I bought back in March when it was "cheap". 50% - 3 months. Not too shabby for a buy-n-hold sort of investment. The consolidation in the data communications and telco related stocks continues. The big news has been in the QWST's and GBLX's of the world buying into the former baby bells, but underneath there is some real consolidation going on. LU buys ASND ALA buys XYLN GEC buys FORE INTC buys LEVL INTC buys DLGC ADCT buys SAVLY etc. ---- Dave

OT - Resource for investigating stocks. We all have our own personal set of websites and links where we go to read and gather information on stocks of interest. I kept getting links and losing them over the past 4 or so years I've been online and the content and depth of the research is changing. My solution was to create a script where you enter the ticker symbol and it creates a reasonable number of good links where I find good information. I'm sharing it with this link because I think it is useful. Go to confirmatoryanalysis.com and follow "Einstein" graphic link to the "One Page Research" page. From there you can enter your own symbols. Enjoy! ---- Dave
