Rande: This was a GREAT day for me. Last night, my wonderful wife calmly said "why are you so worried about your stocks? They always come back." With those words of wisdom, I took a long hot tub, had a nice dinner, slept soundly and greeted the day with appropriate enthusiasm. 17 of my 20 stocks were up today, several of them big time. JDSU up 30, PMCS up 24 and I traded my SDLI (up 44)at 215 after buying it for 195 and 175 on Wednesday and Thursday. Very happy with that trade as it cleared out my margin and set me up with cash for Monday. Great Day! I want to encourage you and your wife to keep looking for a solution for her medical problems. Four years ago my wife began having stomach problems and went from 140 pounds to 95 pounds in a very short time. I took her to five or six different doctors and specialists. She had every possible implement and liquid put inside her from every possible angle - but she kept losing weight and getting weaker. I remember actually pounding on one doctor's desk and screaming "why can't you stop her from wasting away?" Finally we found a doctor who looked us both in the eye and said "we can fix this, just don't give up." Believe it or not, he found the answer for her intestinal problems in anti-depressants and taught us how much the stomach and the brain really have in common. Anyway, that was three and 1/2 years ago and she has all her beautiful weight back (and then some). Just don't stop looking for solutions. My thoughts are with you. Baton

Everyone listen up. This is a golden opportunity. Read the Yahoo BEBE BOARD for complete information, but here is the situation. BEBE is the #1 best female retailer there is, most profitable, just beat last year's December sales by 33% and there is no end in sight. Last year's high $50 in May. Loqw $18-19 where it hit Friday (on excellent earnings news!) The CEO owns 80% and others aren't selling so there is a tiny float of available shares, maybe 500,000 only. These have been take over by some sneaky shorts (using ANN disappointment as excuse maybe, or whatever). They have just driven BEBE down 8 points, but Bebe was very undervalued even at $30. This time of the year these retailers traditionally start moving up and up. What I am saying is that this is a great opportunity to nab a bunch of cheap shares, then get a ride on the backs of a group which has over-shorted this fine stock. The rewards will probably be 100% profit, but only if buyers hold and refuse to sell until at least $40 or more. Better yet, once Bebe spikes up (and it will any time starting Monday) beaten-down ANF and URBN will follow. ANF is also selling at 50% of its value and last year's high. URBN is even cheaper but its earnings arenb't as great as stellar Bebe and Anf. BEBE should lead the way and the upward spiking should be dramatic and continuous. Just look at BEBE's chart and you will see these shapr spikes both up and down. because it can be manipulated so easily by a small group and only 500,000 shares or so are available for purchase. If this doesn't work never listen to me again. I know nothing. But please read the BEBE YAHOO thread including the Individual Investor article, Dartman's posts and of course Americanspirit2. You will not be sorry. Remember this will rise like an internet stock from its bottom, but BEBE and ANF in particular are unlike internet stocks in that they actually have 30-40% growth continually quarter to quarter and just had excellent Xmas seasons. URBN is so cheap now it will perform similarly. All three stocks will double by spring, but the big move could come any day now. Bebe - 19 1/2, PE 17, Earnings 33-45% range, year high $50 Everything you need to know on Yahoo thread. Get some and get rich on this one.
