Susan - that's some post...if I listened to the analysts I'd be out of the trading game altogether. Jenna once (sometime last year) said turn the TV off and watch the tape..well this was the best advice I ever heard because before I sprouted any trading legs at all, I'd be a follower of these guys and gals. The leader has to lead (translation: make money for the "firm") but the follower doesn't have to follow. It's all about their personal agendas - these market calls and individual stock "recommendations" and let us never forget that. The time to be buy into chips is when everyone hates them (as the leaders do) and the time to sell is when chips are the cat's meow. Hardest lesson for a trader to learn. Now this does NOT apply to hit and run type of trading...ya gotta go with the flow then of course. Personally, I think the worst job out there today (besides the police who have to deliver bad news to loved ones) is the job of gentle persuasion laced with tons of bullshit. Man, that must be be hard on the arteries.

Don't forget that to date cash has been king. It has out performed the Market. We are in a period of serious distribution and if you don't understand that you should not be in the market.Sure you see a countertrend move and think everthing is okay. Thats is exactly what the distributors want. (buyers or suckers) We have had the greatest bull run in the history of the market and it is now coming to an end. If you don't think so then go out and pay $200 or $300 for some of these high flyers and we will discuss the results in a few months from now. Just to prove I am no expert, in the last two weeks a purchased 1000 shares of symantec (SYMC). I paid 70 and missed the quick pop to $72 3/4. I bit the bullet and sold at 69 1/4. It closed today at $48. If you like to blow money like that be my guest. By the the way I believe has much better earnings than some of those $200 babies. LOL
