You're right on the money there. I have resorted to quick trades with profits under 1K quite regularly the past few weeks. Although, in the last 3 days I've picked up over 12K on trades, so I remain cautiously, naively, and probably errantly optimistic....thanks again....tuna

One final thought: while many of the larger cap, top-tier tech stocks have made sharp retracements since April 14, there are MANY stocks which are off nearly 75% from their recent highs that offer greater percentage appreciation once the smaller-cap and second/third tier stocks participate. These are intermediate-to long-term (3-12 months) holds, but many may spike sharply well before then. Stocks I think bear watching are: ABSC, ADAP, DITC, EMLX, EXDS, ELON, FFIV, GMST, GBLX, IBIS, IFCI, LPTHA, MMPT, NTAP, MERQ, PEB, and RFMD. These are quality stocks that have one of the following qualities: market leader, stock in a red-hot sector, stock with proprietary technology (ABSC, IBIS, GMST), uniquely valuable franchise (GBLX). These stocks are less amenable to quick trades but I think patience will be rewarded in many of these stocks at their current levels for the more sedentary portion(s) of your portfolios.

DO I'd recommend limiting the number of trades to high percentage trades with very limited, well defined goals. In short, try to hit singles instead of swinging for the fences and hitting home runs I have followed some of your posts on Rande's thread and completely agree with you. I posted a few stocks that I took 3 to 4 points off of and I took those profits gladlee, greedilee, and gratefulee. Stick to stocks you know, take your profits early.... Fred Lee
