One of the oldest rules of investing is that stocks that show good strength during a bad down market are the ones that are likely to move the most when the market turns up. I own a couple truck loads and more of this stock right now and am very happy, but not surprised by the strength we have shown this past week. If ScotiaMcLeod hadn't showed up as a seller we might have been a lot higher today with all the buying that showed up the past few days. I wouldn't be surprised if the news out on Friday brought a couple of new eyes to the stock.

Now if we can just get this mini-crash out of the way this week and get out of Oct. so crash fears are removed we can really get going on the upswing.

Best Regards
KEITH

I'll second that. I'm embarassed to tell you the bid for 15 k that I put in last night speculating on a rotten day across the board. Thought I'd be smart and scalp some cheap shares. This puppy obviously has a committed following. I have to imagine that there is HUGE support if it ratchets down in a prolonged bear market. Herein lies the conundrum for those waiting it out. Will it ever soften or is this forming a new solid base at these levels? Do I buy it at .74 or roll the dice and wait? If, and its a big "if", the markets consolidate here will I be forced to come in at .80 as opposed to the .67 or so I had hoped for. Personally, I'd be inclined to take a position at these levels and buy on any weakness. Having said all of this, I have a very full position as I speak but WILL come back in as a buyer on any significant weakness. I must assume that I am a typical investor here and therefore, many/most see it the same way. Conclusion: solid support in this range, and a position should be staked out now, leaving some manouevering room for further accumulation on any displayed weakness. The danger in procrastinating, as I see it, is that there are too many events in the offing and a surprise announcement (halt in trading ? some morning) could instantly shift gears on this stock. Anyone see it another way?
Now, I have declared that I am fully invested in JDX so why spew on about this? Obviously, it is a thinly veiled attempt on my part to encourage support for the stock but also, I think there are many eyes on this stock ( newbies and lurkers and seasoned investors ) patiently waiting and I believe they are going to get caught with their "pants down" on this. It doesn't have to happen folks! Good luck.
