QQQ was up 1.57 % and HHH was down 2.21 % That is interesting. . . but my point is that each day we have been rotating back and forth. . . telecoms and chips one day. . . internets and B2B the next. . . blue chips and selloffs the next. . . then broadbands, wireless & xDSLs. . . . then internet incabators, box makers and Linux. . . then selloffs while Russell pulls ahead. . . .then cyclicals and oils. . .then drugs and biotechs. . . then back to the telecoms and internets. . . back and forth. . .back and forth. . .if you were the type to chase these, you would be completely worn out by now. . .either that or totally broke. . . or both. So my point has more to do with illustrating the manipulation. I mean we investors are certainly not so fickle that we are going to run back and forth between the various sectors. . . .so these beautifully orchestrated girations are a manipulation or sorts, IMO. Next week, that list of losers will top the winners list like it has just about every other day for the last 2 weeks. Rande Is

Each day, at the close of the market, I turn off CNBC and tune into local business radio, where the portfolio managers of big-money clients weigh in with their opinions. These people live or die by the wisdom they employ to invest their wealthy clients' money. It is always interesting and most of the time, proves true. I've made money off of their comments. One of them today said we need to employ different mindsets to trade the market we are faced with right now. You need to be prepared to buy on the pullbacks in the leadership stocks---you already know the names of these stocks--because much money has flowed into mutual funds recently that needs to be employed. Growth and earnings are the key, and the tech area is the breeding ground for this climate. Also, the put ratio on stocks doesn't indicate much negative sentiment. Another opinion expressed was that we need to ignore the traditional mindset which says that when a good stock tanks, we should stay away. Use it as a buying opportunity. Short-term and periodically, there will be downturns, but the overall sentiment is bullish, and this market is headed higher. If your outlook is long-term, you will buy. Interest rates, even if they go up, are historically low (I already know this because I've been in the real estate business for many years and definitely know a high interest rate when I see it, and we aren't in the danger zone anytime soon). I wouldn't quote these ideas and recommend anyone follow them blindly----just passing along the views of people I do listen to and which I believe are worth considering in doing your own stock research and making your own investment plans.
