Vol - Remember my original post on this board which you invited me to post. Febraury to mid-March the market tanks. Some of the high flyers of the previous qtr get hit badly. Actually compared to last February they all recovered and indeed much more than recovered. But I remember last February it was miserable day after day with only occasional little rallies that always got taken down the next day. Sickening, nauseating daily down. Portfolios suffer in this time but as I say if you forget about the market and come back in the last week of March things start to look better and this carries on till the end of April and then another little down turn etc till the end of the 2nd week of June and then another up till say the 10th July. The market is very quick to anticipate in July much quicker and shorter up period following the good earnings. Then the tank of the year from say the 2nd week of July to the 2nd week of October.....you have to be very careful about being in the market. The Q might be the only stock to stay in since some of its announcments are going to have a major impact on the stock price....China or NOK or who know what else. In act we ought to be thinking about the what elses just to make sure we aren't all hoping for dreams. Best regards, L

Voltaire! I think a lot of people can learn from your market strategies. I know I have or at least I am trying. It is something you just gotta bite the bullet and do. I've learned from each mistakes and Lord knows I've made them. I have been trying to get a grip on your strategies for 9 months and I learn something new on every turn of the market. I only wish I had taken your advice you gave many months ago. To sell at least part of your interest before the earnings. I now believe the benefits of selling before earnings out weigh the gains you MIGHT make by staying in until after the earnings. Times like last week can really be a blessing if you position yourself. I had been paying up to 28 for July 200 calls and was able to sell stock last week and purchase the same calls for $6.00. Switched to the July 125 for 20 now. Gotta leverage to keep your % up. I will be selling at least 1/2 of my position before next earnings are released. Sure I am way down from last week but what a marvelous chance to reposition yourself for the next move up. I am learning to try to use your strategy to position my investments for a move one way or the other, a good move up or down can be to your advantage. Hopefully others are profiting from your strategies while you are here because someday you will need to enjoy what you have made. I mean like get off the porch. Maybe build a new porch in Bali and invite us all. I go as far out as I can with out being leeps. They are so expensive.......with exception of now. OK, I think I am ready...Go QCOM. Voltaire thanks for helping me. dealer
