PARS, ADRX, TEVA, CTII... ADRX was a surprise although this one was such a solid bet. PARS is a hold to be put away. TEVA, well TEVA will succumb to a little profit taking but buy that one back. ABSC and MOGN were excellent although a few biotechs were easily 'stopped out with trailing stops'... All were mentioned and picked well in advance of their gains. I would rather stay in a biotech I've had than try something brand new. NSIL was a nice surprise and a already a 6 week hold. Do NOT buy one day wonders, do not buy MORE STOCKS THAN YOU CAN HANDLE.... I had 6 'borderline' biotechs 2 of which were down Friday and today but still way under the trailing stop. 4 others were up considerably although they were a tad risky after so much gain. I am still bullish on MOGN, but out of ABSC, just too nervous there. GENE looks to be back again. New biotechs are about as risky and could turn your stomach as curdled milk, beware of overzealous stock pickers and one day wonders. careful also about biotechs that are called well after they have made their gains.. Leaving town I had a 'managable' number of stocks and did not have to 'sell off in a frenzy'... I am sorry if I missed anyone there were just too many people and too many 'sites'.. I will be in New York in March for the Pristine Seminare and hopefully will be attending most of them. Metastock professional is not really for newcomers to the product. As an upgrade it was $399 and I've used it for the fifth year so I'm pretty at home with it. ESP I still have to get acquainted with so I'd wait for a week or two until we get settled with ESP, the bulletin board, the calendar which will be moved to Pristine, etc... PARS.. the Israeli biotechs are pretty similar to the Israeli techs, they are usually undervalued for quite a while and are late bloomers, but when they begin to move there is no stopping them. The reason I would think is still the 'uncertain' military situation. Actually that makes it ideal for us 'believers' so capitalize on the reasonable prices. The uncertain situation has not effected the stocks, at last for the past 10 years, so I don't expect things will change at this late stage. I'm trying to be objective without 'plugging' these stocks but its hard when they are so good to remain neutral techstocks.com techstocks.com techstocks.com

NANO, I hate to say this but I don't like the blue chips, nor do I see the dow as doing more than falling in April when earnings come out. How can you like them with others moving so much. You can just have a great time playing NEWP and WGRD, which had I stayed home I would have gone long after a wild ride shorting them. Volatility is the watch word with techs as well, but at least we can get them on 'bouncebacks' from strong uptrends.. The future is still biotech and techs.. it is no longer a 'holders' market and 1-2 months is starting to be my intermediate hold instead of 3-5 months. I would prefer COMS, ORCL and of course TXN to MSFT, and I would chose SUNW and LNUX above MSFT. The Dow reminds me of the gold stocks that were up when techs were down. I'm already gearing up for the April earnings season and believe me blue chips are not on my list. I hear it said that AOL is looking great at this price, but the same people were saying this 20 points ago. This reminds me of the oil service sector years ago. Some of you will remember at every 'downfall' analysts were saying we had hit bottom and it was a good buy because it was cheap. I am weary of cheap stocks. I don't own AOL nor do I see it as more than a swing trade... maybe. Its like the boy who cried "wolf" eventually he was correct, but at this point I'm not crazy about AOL, although I could see MRK as a last effort to buoy up the stock on a large stock buyback...
