yep gotta stay positive.. I've been lucky because the only 4 stocks I owned are all doing fine.. XPDR, EGRP, SCH, BBY and TAN (sold TAN yesterday before the tank) egrp I'm down a little.. SCH and BBY I'm up.. xpdr down slightly sitting 75% cash or so right now i believe.. not because I thought the market would tank.. but because I needed a break.. thank God my timing worked out to my advantage for once.. as now I've got some funds to take advantage of these dips... however, I too am now wondering if we'll dip a few more days.. might not have a real rally until AFTER early Feb when fed raises rates... market will have factored in 50pts and we'll move on.. meanwhile, just be careful and trade carefully. lock in profits EXTRA early.. and if you go long.. do it with quality and consider stocks that aren't WAY up off their lows.. that's why I'm going long with XPDR, EGRP, SCH and BBY.. all well off 52week highs.. and coming off their lows... and they are in sectors that are posting VERY good numbers yet the market has ignored them because of the high flying techs.. something to think about from a guy who's considered by some on this thread to be brainless.. but that's okay.. I'm having fun as always .. though this thing with TokyoJoe has me concerned as I stated in my previous posts on this thread tonight ; take care and best wishes to you and the rest of us as we go through this swing in the market jim
