JQ, D Grrl is saving herself for Teddy, when he becomes of age. Big Earl can't raise prices...this town is so cheap that a ten cent difference will send 'em down the road. His prices haven't budged in 5-6 years. (Big Earl will once again provide BBQ, etc. to the legendary Kerrville Folk Music festival - a three week event where all the hippies and hippie wannabes gather every late May/early June. for various peace, love, dove activities. Can you imagine how happy Big Earl is buying brisket for about 80 cents a pound, slapping it on his smoker for about 12 hours, and selling it in sandwich form for about $10 a pound...and with a line that never stops from morning to night for about 20 days. Even new math can't do that calculation...but Big Earl can! He will cook 100 briskets at a time, twice every 24 hours...and hope he has enough.) I suspect that Kerrville must be the least expensive place in the somewhat civilized world to live. And folks aim to keep it that way. There are also likely more retired CEO-types here per capita than most other places. The local banks, and there are many, have a hard time making loans. Old retired folks doon't borrow much money but sure deposit a lot! They love those CD's! big

Anyone have/seen a "no-brainer" buy the dip list of must own Tech stocks ? Also any biotech - telecomm names ? I'd like to start researching in case we see something really drastic. Back in the october '98 crash I bought Cisco, Lucent,Aol, PMCS,VTSS a few others - and sold them all way too soon. Here is a confession that will make you sick; In March 1998 I came into a lump sum of money and entered trading online for the first time and bought ALL internet stocks as this looked to be the start of something big. I listened to everyone around me tell me that it was just a "mania" etc (they had not even really moved yet) - I dumped a sizeable portfolio of ALL iNet stocks of Yahoo, CMGI, AOL and 3-4 other iNet stocks to go 100% to the Oilpatch & some Old economy stocks - made a nice quick pop in the patch through May - then fought the June-August Oil swoon - while the iNet portfolio turned into 10-20 baggers from those levels. I still have my statements from holding those stock for only a month - I would not have to work today; if I had held that portfolio. I wouldn't mind adding some tech to my longterm hold portfolio here. Looking for names of dominant niche plays like Cisco, JDSU, WCOM etc - anyone have any candidates ? Price Targets ?
