...and with spanners, I will let to span 1, even 2 post. However, 3 or more will be too much. I was thinking in shorting yahoo over 255, but did not do it and RHAT 250+ the same. RHAT at 250+ was worth 17B a company that doesnt do anything at all, they sell something a lot of people and web site gives for free, Linux. When RHAT was worth 4B, I thought well 1% of MSFT is crazy but Wall Street think is worth it but now at 12B+ ?. This is an example of how crazy this market is, but besides any analysis you can put on it, the bottom line is to profit from it. Yahoo 50B plus, like the BW article point they need to grow for the next 5 year at 170% a year, have any company in the history of WS has grown 170% every year for 5 year in USA ? If you were a doctor and you charge for your service 100$ for visits and you visit a crazy customer and his family give you 500$ for the visit, I will take the money and keep it. They pay me that, why? That?s not my problem ask then. So the market will be like that until the family wakes up and give the 100$ the doctor regularly charge.

head fake, breakout, who's to say except in hindsight. I also thought that the sharp move down last Tues on the Nasdaq, NDX, S&P, etc was an indication that a short-term top had been put in, with the S&P failing to decisively break out above it's previous high. Well, I was wrong, and paid for it with losses. To me, the head fake was last Tues to the downside, and now I see the new high in the S&P on Friday coming with a very strong one-day surge, as a sign that the S&P has truly broken out of the prior range of 1400-1424. Of course, I have to reserve the right to be wrong, since I often am. But, my position is long (albeit since Friday's open), and I see nothing to indicate I should be concerned if there is any weakness the next few weeks. Daily action in the next few weeks I expect to be flat-to-up, with moderate increases on some days, minor decreases on a few days. I'm just going to hold long, and buy on any weak days. A.G. wants us to believe that our money will be safe in the markets through Dec. 31st (continuous liquidity injections), and he's bigger than me, so I'll go along. Inflation is gone, rates are stable, everyone is getting richer. I deserve my share. Regards, Dwight
