Dealer, I think you're right on the money. After the rally on Fri. and with the Fed meeting tomorrow, what can we expect of these high flyers we all trade...some down days, exactly.

If you're shopping great, if you're covered great, if non of the above, wait a few days and the sun will shine again.

Remember, we're heading into earnings!

C-

Sun ain't shining

On March 15, Fidelity raised maintenance requirements on QCOM-concentrated positions to 80%. Welcome to the world of the House thefts. I have to start selling off tomorrow so their mutual funds can have the treasured stuff instead of me. Maintenance requirements on the dropping ELON are 70%. As JW says the Houses are thieves in blue suits. I'm understanding it better now.

The upside is I'll get to watch from a smaller but more secure seat ("I'll take coach") as spaceship QCOM starts its assent. The vibes for QCOM will be better when I land in Havana this Saturday. I'm going straight to the top of the old Havana Hilton on Monday so I can get a good view of the Cape.

I still have my sense of humor. I just get sick and tired of so many people viewing a drop in the value of my stocks as a good "buying opportunity."
