HI DOC! 70% is very nice! It was nice to see that you could write about the little catastrophes without being too emotional. I'm way too emotional with my trading: down when i loose and elated when i win. OK on the up days but stressful for me and my wife when things aren't going that well. And "not going well" is a very subjective thing and i reach that feeling very quickly. You held CNXT (i didn't follow intraday the other stocks) but i would've felt bad about the stock going down again from 82 to 76. I know that this is the normal volatility of all these stocks but i still have to get used to it. BTW i held CPTH and was the strongest acting stock i have and hardly moved down when the market was tanking. My feeling is that someone is accumulating at this level. But i had the same feeling for HLIT too today. Still almost three times the normal volume and had the impression some block buys were going through on that one. Was tempted to buy some BEAS but held off and will wait for a clearer change of trend. CNXT is actually looking interesting here again... Was NEON last in the summer...ouch! I bot it today, too soon i assume. I had the feeling that the stock had support in the low 50s and bot 52 5/8 and it held up with the market but fell under 50 in the end and closed at low. That makes me think that i might go to the 45 area where the longer term trend line and the 68%fib retracement is situated.I think i will hold if it gets down to there and actually add on a bounce... See that you still have 50% invested! You must run a large account. I don't hold that many positions but i probably have a lot less to invest too...hope to get to your account size sometimes! Stefan
