Don't mind me folks, I just need some mumble space here to recap the day at the jk corral. Any positive or negative comments will be gratefully accepted. 1. Dumped RMBS after calling it a money-leaving jitney on monday...better late than never...anyone who doubts Greg on this should go over to the RMBS thread and read Prophet and Zeeb?..I spell that right? Two days of a valiant fight, but still going down. The gap down did me in today. Another will drag more weak hands off the bus. Intraday: askresearch.com 2. Sold SSTI...started to look a little lost down at the bottom of my chart. Having been the "victim" of more Greg top calls than I care to count, thought I would turn the tables on him and sold it at 1123 EDT. Chart shows little strength today but, as we shall see, what do I know? Intraday: askresearch.com 3. Sold PPRO...looked like a classic pivot point run setup last night. Today, I was mindlessly excited about it until I read Greg's caution to Jill about the potential trouble at 60. Message 14299880 Then I saw it wavering and bouncing off 60 so I made another bold guess and sold at 1230 EDT. I have a "buy stop" @62 to catch the next wave up. It reached 61 today. Intraday: askresearch.com 4. Held EMLX that I bought @ 127 on a mkt order during the fiasco not doing too well. What caused the last minute drop? Intraday: askresearch.com 5. Review CMTN advice given yesterday. I saw no evidence from the chart that a bottom was in, but offered the following to jcm: If you have a good source of info, you may want to watch it for trading purposes, however, I think it needs to stabilize and base for awhile to regain confidence. Barring any major turnaround in the news, I would not be a buyer until it got back to the 75 to 80 range. Did I miss something on the daily chart? What turned it around? Help the boy here, someone! Anyway, I think it will be stronger at 70-75 if it gets there. Intraday: askresearch.com 6. Badmouthed ARBA at 1321 EDT when I told Greg it would be the last of his software picks I would buy at that moment:http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14301206 Thirteen milliseconds later, ARBA turned north for seven points. Intraday: askresearch.com I got so much egg on my face, won't need to cook for a week. Ha! 7. At 1410 EDT, I didn't give bp any short term encouragement on INAP. Message 14301703 As he said at 1557 EDT, it turned green up two. Then it fell a point...not too many up subcharts at the close, but what do I know? Anybody else like it? Bears watching...uh, bad choice of words. We should keep an eye on it.

Other bits and pieces for the day: Bought GLW Bought WFII Bought LPTH Win some, loose some, sometimes (like yesterday) it rains in Southern California. jj@timeforthisoldman'snap.zzz
