Gold Portfolio +2.75 pct today. . MDG +7.5pct; DBRSY +6.5 pct are the leaders. The whole portfolio is up nearly 25 percent here in 16 trading days. . an average gain of 1.6 percent per day. . .still 60 percent more brisk than our Internet portfolio was in the first quarter of 1999. Here is link to gold port: siliconinvestor.com It is on this funky "New" SI site, so no telling whether that link works or not. . . please let me know if it doesn't so I can try something else. I am carefully watching these financials and transportation stocks. . to see if they hold their gains/strength. Rande Is

Sorry, saw NEM down and assumed that was the bellweather. Don't follow gold stocks. Got burned twice in the past on them. Once one went down 35% in one day on me. Ouch. As for the bottom, I think we've seen the worst for awhile. Inflations fears dimmed a little today. Retail report strong for those stocks. Again, I believe we'll yoyo before a rally. The recent sell-off has satisfied most of the bears. I predicted two weeks atgo that $80 for AOL and MSFT was the bottom and $60 for LU. I bought Lu two days ago for $60 1/4. That to me signalled the bottom. Like you though, I admit I could be wrong. And I admit many of the small stocks remain hammered. There's just not enough money back from vacation to support a widespread rally yet. The most popular stocks go up first. I own a lot of T so what's your opinion of it? Just bought more for $48 1/2 and consider that a bargain.
