CLINT! "Are you enjoying this rally, Stefan? " You are saying this and i can see the grin on your face. Well i'm actually not enjoying it since i closed out my positions and the ones i bot didn't work out(lgto,WIND). Sometimes i don't know how you do it!!! MFNX is doing well and i sold too early and your PMCS etc they are all doing well. When i saw them plunge i get scared and close out for small profits. That's why i'm only up 30% this year while you are doing 200%+. You seem to allow fairly large swings in your stocks which i can't stand. This is the end of my second year in the market and after loosing some money in the first i will make some this year. Since i learn constantly i expect to improve in the next years especially when i watch people at work like you or mattie. Stefan

Clint: OT I haven't gotten the book yet. The same thing happened when I ordered a monitor from Buy.com (for an incredibly low price). Out of stock, but they would get it...4 months later, after constantly checking & never getting any closer to the carrot, I cancelled the order. Never read the street.com & don't have tv since I moved, so no CNBC; but I did pick up the following from optionsource.com today. >>>For morning of 10/22/99: Taken separately, each of the three indicators (equity put/call ratio, OEX put/call ratio, VIX change) shows a healthy number of samples and slightly higher than average volatility (the OEX put/call ratio and now the Equity put/call ratio are each slightly bullish in the timing model). However, when these three indicators are combined, there are no samples back in the 1990s that match the status of all three indicators. This is very unusual and is a timely reminder that one of the weaknesses of historical testing on the stock market is that it is only a matter of time before the market does something unique. The size, speed, and frequency of reversals and volatility that has been experienced this month is unparalleled in the past and looks to continue into the future. (italics mine) While I don't fully understand the significance of shows a healthy number of samples and slightly higher than average volatility (groan), taken as a whole, it sounds rather ok to me. Anyway, comforting - in that I seem to have been mainly zigging when I should have zagged & vice- versa :-) Dorothy
