Yaacov. You should have been more flexible with your 37 7/8 on a Dell purchase. gg. Yes, I was very happy with the scrutiny they put on Greenspan's wealth barometer. I guess a lot of those guys do earn their money. gg. Now if some of them could quit those spending sprees and give us some more tax relieve. I know they have brainwashed us about taxes. Why do you need a tax cut when the economy is booming? When else can we expect a tax cut? Spending is harmful to the economy, mostly GVT spending. gg. And if most people are working, health care will follow if it is done correctly. Take it out of paychecks just like the GVT does and then we don't have this problem of people waiting to get healthcare until they need it and every working person would be covered. Unemployed could get it through unemployment ins. or sheesh:Welfare. Actually, they already get it that way. Trading. I sold my trading shares of QCOM for the third time this months with a 7 to 11 point spread. I just got of the phone and sold at close to 138. I am not worried if it goes higher. I have shares left. I should have bought my trading shares of EXDS back yesterday. But who could have known? Somehow I am not trading Intc. I only sold part of my holdings when there were earnings warnings and bought back when it looked safer again. This method unfortunately left me with less shares than I had 2 yrs. ago. But we are supposed to diversify, which I did. And I am keeping my margin down. Hard to stick to when the market rises like this. But I don't want those guys at the FED to keep on harping about margin debt. 1 analyst upgrade for AOL to 90 and 1 for TWX to 135, by diff. analysts at MER, is all we need today. gg. One analyst upgrade a week would do wonders to my portfolio. It has taken most of my gains lately, in other stocks, to make up for the losses in AOL. But that's how it goes when you hold for the long term. I can't complain with my overall long term gains. They def. outpaced my short term holdings. But like I said. As long as this market acts they way it does now, I will be trading sev. stocks a week, hopefully. BTW. How many shares do you generally buy for trading purposes? Just wondering because you go with such a tiny spread. You can let me know by PM. Maybe I am not buying enough at one time. gg. Yikes. NAZ up over 130. Let's not go overboard in 1 day. DOW is doing better also. Down only 10 now. Money guys said to keep your powder dry and buy big middle of March. I guess everybody wants to go in ahead of time. gg. Oil cartel is considering more output by April. Not too much of course. They know a good thing when they see it. gg. Just enough I guess not to get our GVT's dander up too much about high oil prices. Those truckers learned from the French. Our Capital clogged with big trucks. gg. Sonny
