So I have to assume all the posters who are here must be doing better than if they weren't here A big fat "YES" from me on that one, Fred! On another note, KOREA has been one of my biggest winners this year, and it will soon make me even happier, I know...in spite of my grousing about it yesterday. WUWT

Great post Fred. There's some great minds here - and a lot of volatility in this market. It's really tough for Kimberly or anyone to be absolutely sure that something is going to go up. I feel like a lot of people expect perfection from her, and I think that is unfair. I well remember the days over a year ago (before this thread) when every time I bought something it immediately went down. That doesn't happen anywhere near as much since I have found this thread and fine-tuned my trading skills. I have also found that when something is showing weakness, I would rather get out at a break-even or a small loss and wait til it has found it's bottom (i.e. KOREA). Really waiting and watching for good entry points on IPOs has also worked very well for me. And I don't chase momos after they have run up. I always take a quick look at a chart before I buy anything and if it looks toppy I don't buy. Of course there are some really toppy stocks out there that keep going up, but I (sadly) don't own any! I love this thread and most of the people on it. I hope that it continues to be a source of information and inspiration for me in 2000. I also agree, like it has been said many times before, that a lot of the personal stuff should be taken to pm. The positive side of that is that you can really give it to someone then (if that's what you want to do!) Jean
