Thanks Greg,
Let's just say say for the short term I am "cautiously optimistic". My scenario and Zeevs will need re-evaluation as we head into and after the elections.

I have learned the hard way (very hard way) about trying to be strictly LTBH is this extremely choppy market.
I now have your policy (within reason) of not letting profits turn into losses.

I also intend to take profits off the table after pre-determined runups or over-exuberance (especially RMBS).

BTW. I ask you questions about stocks I am not necessarily interested in, at least not right now. I am trying to get a better feel for the overall market, what drives it, and competing stocks in sectors I am interested in.

In March I only new about a few stock that I was potentially interested, they all shot up and shot down.
I have decided to take a much broader interest, and the stocks you have info on is simply amazing! gggg

<<So I see a rally that only fizzles, then back to what we have now, till the market has a better idea of what this broadband age will mean to all of us.>>>
Part of what I see is continued volatility with less
inclination to take risks, exactly what Dr. Greenspan ordered. Continueing denials of messing (with the market)
often indicates one IS messing with the market which was finally admitted to by the statement that the effects of equities money IS considered by the Fed while making decisions.
Buy and hold per the old days is nearly finished excepting perhaps for 2 years period or more.
Today its rotation, with people seeking safe havens
as the analysts point alternately to oils, airlines,
commodities, funds, financials, or whatever is "hot",appealing and saleable for a month. When one area tanks, they will point to another.
Oil services Yeaaaaaaaaaaah
PC's are dead .HUH?
Chip manufacturing equipment, thats where its at
Cymi, Klic, Klac Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Utilities Yup Yup Yup- safe haven and maybe 5% avg per year. One needs more to just stay even with hidden inflation.
Appreciate your dedication and efforts on stocks that can do and have done much better.
Regards
Have Yuh got eny Dell left ?(hehe)

been reading wise words of guy named Elder (futures trader)
he said that in confusing times, drop down to weekly chart to see trend more clearly

so I checked the NazComp chart on weekly basis
we are at 50-week support right now, which has held nicely in past pullbacks this spring

we have a weekly stochastic at low end 20 extreme now
any crossover is not exactly imminent to my eyes

we have relative strength trending up from June/July/August

we had a MACD bearish crossover 4-6 weeks ago, still not righted

with consumer spending buoying the economy somewhat recently, no evidence of widespread stall is apparent

just my six cents (sick sense)
p.s. I had to laugh being nominated for SI TechAnalyst
my votes were for Vendit and Greggster
