Jill, if Q gets really extended and stalls at say 238, then offing margin, lightening equity shares, and selling some covered calls might be easy shorterm money

one thing you can be certain of -- expect some doubtful news stories once we begin to unsuccessfully retest whatever high, then more once we begin the mild descent from it... those bighouses are predictable... I wanna ride their waves some

I have no pretensions here, dont expect to do anything perfectly... but would like to get off most margarine near the top, and contemplate virgin olive oil after any little nasty decline

think of the absurd negative stories that emerged after solid runs:
June: Korean chip sales to plummet
August: S&P entry fails to lift shares (vacation vaccuum)
Sept: handset margin pressure
Oct: hmmm

my guesses are something like "CDMA adoption might not happen until 2005" or "wireless modem might stick at 60kb for several months" or "GSM staying power might last for years"

just rambling on
