Enjoy the market? If I was short I could. Pretty ugly today yet again. Never seems to be any buyers, only sellers. Nibbled some on VNTR 70 1/2 and SEBL 125 1/2. Looking for quick flips. Here was some VNTR news- And Ventro Corp. (NasdaqNM:VNTR - news), a Mountain View, Calif.-based operator of a business-to-business electronic commerce marketplace, said late Tuesday it publicly sold $250 million, down from $300 million, of notes through Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Co. Terms were not immediately available. ``Convertibles have become the second step after primary equity financing for a lot of new companies,' said Andrea Revy O'Connell, who handles $3.0 billion of convertibles as chief investment officer at Froley, Revy Investment Co. in Los Angeles. ``It's a very ready market, very accessible.' Ventro, whose stock fell $19 to $78 a share on Tuesday, also said it called off an offering of 1.825 million shares of stock. Its stock traded between 74-3/4 and 85 on Wednesday. biz.yahoo.com

HI CLINT! Took some heavy hits today and puked up MERQ,VnTR and PUMA in the end. Seems that i just can't trade the way you do it and feel bad about today since it was so stressful to trade outside my method of tighter stops. Reminded me of the "bad old days" in the fall of 98 when DELL was melting in the sun of the russian financial crisis and we had some severe gap downs for breakfast. Re VNTR: probably sold at the bottom and took a 12% loss on that one. I thought during the day that the enormous volume would have turned over almost the whole float during the last two days and the stock would turn up now but in the end it just collapsed and i couldn't stand it going lower and i sold like an amateur out of fear. I know you're the master of the bottom fishing and you can stand these large swings against you. Well, i can't! and will go back to my own method. Time for a break from SI and focus on my own trading without distractions. Thanks for all the tips. Too bad that my personality doesn't allow better integration of your ideas! Will continue to enjoy reading your posts! Stefan
