V: I just got home from a great Japanese dinner at a Chicago restaurant called Itto Sushi.... I am checking my in-box and I get an update from the head of SI....I'm sure you saw this 'customer service announcement' <G>... <<Classic SI Format We've made some final additions and modifications to the Classic SI Customization Option, and we'll be rolling those changes out this week. We expect to turn off the old SI site within the next few days>> Why give members a choice when you don't have too.??...I guess I'll have to enjoy my last few days of 'the Classic Version of SI'...:-) Best Regards, Scott

It's interesting to me that when a chart (such as JDSU or QCOM) technically shows that it's about ready to run (it's been basing/consolidating for a while, gives some buy signals, or in the case of JDSU, it's the pre-split run) the analysts and others come out with good news: upgrades, etc. Kyocera upgrade in particular was a clear message yesterday--as if to say, belatedly, this is a good deal and good company. JDSU had a bunch of enthused reportage etc just a few days ago, but the timing seems calculated to me, since we were all waiting till about now for the beginning of a pre-split run. It seems an unspoken agreement now that the market these days is about volatility and making $ off the volatility--use the charts as a guide, and release news when you're ready to run. Of course usually the news is "created". It's getting fairly predictible. And I do believe the companies, if they have big news, signal it to the analysts. They're all working together, which is a necessity for them to survive in this market that has been so kind to the individual investor. Especially if you learn even a moderate amount about options. However China news was not factored into their calculations--that's unexpected, so too bad for us and them.
