Not even close in the trading acct. 401k has recovered nicely (up more now than Feb).. but I don't trade it.

Harry, I wish! In March I was up about 70% YTD based upon some good trades with ETEK, NTAP, AMCC, and EMLX. I got pounded particularly hard in May on some much less than good trades. Overall I'm up about 30% YTD (which includes eating BVSN today!) Anyone have any thoughts on HLIT? Dead money or is this quarter's problems not representative of longer term prospects? I have been bottom fishing for some severely punished former favorites who pooped in the earnings chili bowl. I picked up NEON, PRGN, VRTY last April and bought some CTXS last week.

Good question Harry, I was wondering the same thing myself. But my read was the opposite i.e. with large gains, don't you think that people will once again get a little reckless ? Overall up about 25 % from March high. How about you ? IA

Hi Harry: On your question. I'm not even close to the March value. The good news is I'm in good shape in all accounts but my individual trading account. This is still underwater for the year never mind March values. Remember when I posted I was in 50% cash but due to missing the opportunities I went long. We'll factor in I had to pay the tax man so I was on "hidden" margin (which I know about) and you can guess the rest (you remember ifmx). I consider it a painful lesson. Now hopefully I've learned a little bit from this. My thinking for this account is to just get whole to the value @ the beginning of the year and then go from there. I've learned a few things. I can't trade or win in a bear market. Need to diversify more (I still have a problem with this). Tim
