The 1st trading day of 2000 was BIG! I was skeptical about the rest of the day after I sold my gappers (QCOM ESPD ANCC CMRC CICI SCOC SYMM) so I started scalping (BWEB and EMLX) and then at the end of the day I went BIG on (NOIZ ISLD TERRA NETP SPYG GRIC UTCC and little on SWS WEBS WITC). I wish all days were like this <GG> Happy New Year! Big

Welcome back SF! This was an interesting read : ) Wrong! Rear Echelon Revelations: Amateurs Trounce the Pros By James J. Cramer 1/3/00 5:35 PM ET The individual investor sure got this one right, didn't she? She didn't buy into the Y2K gloom that a pro like Ed Yardeni did. She didn't get spooked out by the historic overvaluations the way Barton Biggs did. She didn't get spooked into cash from the press hounds who would have you believe that the world is always coming to an end. She stuck with the winners. She did not get blown out by the bonds. She did not buy into the rap that she had to be in the same old boring names that the pros told her were right. (To join the discussion on this article, visit our Message Boards: thestreet.com I can't emphasize enough that regardless of what happens in the future -- a 20% pullback or a huge selloff -- she got it right. And the pros got it wrong. I look at my screen today, and all of the rally names, like last year, are the individual names. And all of the selloff names, like last year, are the institutional names. You have to love a game where the amateurs beat the pants off the professionals. copyright TheStreet.com YEAH! More POSITIVE stuff like this please, Cramer
