HowDEE Pals Got Good News 4U - Good Ship Bellewether's DOWN which is good news 4 us as it's Contrarian!! Still, while "Got To Admit It's Getting Better" IS Happening -still in demdar skittery habits too. Still in & out my same pets - "Home Home On The Range". While Waiting For Blue's Mountain Omens, Got Some Thoughts... AGs "lowered expectations" & "range" & "reassignment of risk (rewards?)" remarks matches my "Me Generation" ways, of whom "Hey i resemble that remark!" So when Jack B. Nimble's Still In Rome - Will B. Dunrite sez listen to Mr. Natural & "Get The Right Tool For The Job!" When Bernard Baruch was asked "How did you ever get so rich?" he said "I always sold too soon". No free lunch, this; no mystique - some Luck involved but Hard Work Is It. Mebbe it's like hitting the averages waiting for the cards to fall in line for The Big One. A rest from all this unrelaxing watchfulness would be nice but just holding my seat & gotta see a man about a duck in the meantime. Humble-like. There's One Big Unpredictable coming round the bend soon & the moves might or might not be what'd be logically expectable this time around. So the best we could ask for is that more risk be reassigned elsewhere without reward factor being lessened...wunchew think we have enuf risk LOL? Remember when AG hit the nail on the head when he said the Techs & Nets are the fuel for what's happening?! IMHO Greenie's In The Groove!!!!!!! Market's establishing now at a higher range, still lower prices but many more shares out there from ipos & splits.. holding up alrite methinks. Read some talk lately about "Boom Years" "Correction Years" "Bear Markets" "Crashes" "Tops" and "Range Years" - "The Range" is a new one lately - with no conclusions ever given it's all just the individual's guess which type of year 1999 is/will be...and Beyond. We Shall See. Why be skitterish? Because the cult psychology underlying all this bang-yer-head-against-the-wall repetition of pattern feels dangerous, that's why... U 2 ? Imposed repetition always makes my little hairs prickle up. Yep, getting 2 comfy for 2 long "home on the range" feels about as comfy as a cardgame in an Old West Saloon where the power balance & rules should've changed awhile ago but haven't yet because of some...er, fudging - went on back yonder & so everyone's just keepin' low & friendly & betting conservative to stay in the game to even it up slow so Maverick won't shut it down... do U think? Still keeping in mind that looking at it like A Game (with unchanging rules to & fair play drilled in since babyhood)or (worse) A Standoff Of Champions is all too EZ & tempting - dangerous - as it simplifies before a big election year coming up Changing Of The Guard with demdar elementary rulebooks & courtesy...makes me sniff the wind, tweedlers twitching, and say SO WUSSUP?! Not that it couldn't be Good!!! but.... When Going With The Sheep While Trying Not 2 Think Like Them is happening, Follow The Leader mite B next. So QuackQuackQuack baaaa baaaa baaaa - SlowLY I Turn Step By Step Inch By Inch - proceeding from back to square one to whatever will happen next. Facts as in place could favor either way; facts behind either-side guesses look about equal so it ends up same/same as always - At Money Where The Mouth Is! Techride Pals, My Money's On The Glass Is Half Full! Proceed To Liftoff after Quack In The Dark Time. How long will it take, who knows? Maybe this time, maybe not. And The Good News Is.... Antenna-moi sez overall printspin veers towards the positive now. This (overall spectacular!) earnings announce season isn't an immediate selloff on good news like before! Hooray!! Stocks still up and now pricing themselves on anticipations of Big Season Performance after their splits & it's starting to not look half bad! Some reported #'s say actual inflation mightn't be reality as is. Seems about right from Consumerside around hyar - much fewer La Bambas on the road Tells The Tale how some new cars aren't priced unaffordably at all. Lots more new computer boxes out by the curbs, food's about the same, rents & home prices staying level. Translates to market positives, especially for our pet nets, but Dem Bigs got sum surprises 4 us all both ways, same/same. Some Never-Changing Rules.... 1) The Bigger They R They Want CONTROL Already Got Money. 2) $$$ Out One Pocket Flies Into Another, like Control. 3) Uncle Sam Gets His Share of the $$$$'s As They Fly. 4) DD = 360 The Sources & Who Signs The Paychecks. 5) Prediction = When 2 Go With OR Against The Flow 2 Profit. 6) No rally when weaks are @$$es Out on Big Margins. 7) Reality (what's that?) is a Barometer For Reaction. 8) Freeriders are A Firewall. 9) A Good Pick Is Golden IF The Market Is Interested. 10)Timing = Cycles...Play It As It Lays vs. What's Next. Elementary i know, doesn't take a rocket scientist, just wanted to write some points down while thinking of 'em. 909s 2 ALL, Joan ps. my Aunt's in the hospital again, sorry to just post & run again. Techride's all i have time for online ontop of the DD. Will join in again when i can. Any Live@Techstock '99 performances, Techriders gonna hafta take over the mike this time, ok?
