Yaacov. You misunderstood my trading a bit. I don't trade daily. I used to trade a cpl of stocks a month but now I avg. about 2 a week. Sometimes none, and then I will go higher the next week or the next. I don't trade for 2 $ gains. I am not trading on the net yet and my commission is 35 for 100 sh., 55 for 200 sh. etc. So a stock has to move at least 7 points before I sell. I try to buy cos. that have upside potentials so if the stocks do not move soon, I don't feel bad getting stuck with them. Right now I have done well with EXDS. Bought and sold it twice in the last week. I bought JNPR last Friday but I guess I will be holding this for a while judging by the NAZ action today. gg. If things look a bit better again, I have my eyes on more QCOM, JDSU and CMRC for a cpl of trades. I own all 3 stocks already. I was going to buy Msft today but I guess I will wait a bit longer. Bill Gates is buying into too many cos. for my peace of mind. It looks like he is in a hurry to diversify. But Msft is on my buy list for trading and maybe even for the longer term. BTW. I have been trading that stock already sev. times. Ericy. Yes, I did mention yesterday that there is a nice target price out. It was kind of a rumor so I did not want to mention the price. But what you heard is about what I heard. Maybe even a bit higher. I have not checked Ericy today but can't complain about Nokia. Ericy should be a candidate for a cpl of trades and long term. But then I have quite a few telecoms already. My portfolio is taking quite a hit today so you got to trade a bit to hang in there. This AOL is driving me up the wall. Pretty good news out there and blah. It's called a no hurry to buy stock right now. Sigh. Look at the last paragraph in this article mentioning AOL. cbs.marketwatch.com I guess you sold all yours. I am still hanging on with all of my shares but my patience is really being tested. Sometimes I think I should sell some and buy something that moves while waiting for AOL to go up but then I keep telling myself: How low can it go? I am beginning to dislike all mergers. gg. Those nets looked a lot better when this article was written. Some of my net stocks are a disaster today. BTW. You were mentioning if Msft is waiting for Bush to be elected. Here is an article on that score. It's being called a photo finish. Maybe McCain will win by his 1 vote in Michigan. gg. Liberal Dems are being recruited to vote for McCain in Mich. and even McCain asked for those votes and then said they could switch back to their Party in the presidential race. Sheesh. I call this desperate. They are saying that there are not many Reagan Dems left. Most of them went on to a better life. Hm. I'd rather cope with this one for a while. gg. dailynews.yahoo.com Sonny
