Here are some choice excerpts: Saturday, Nov 6, 1999 "We will exit the Time train at $400 and Mulberry Ave around late December or early January. We will then transfer to the price train, a train that will carry the large owners of the railroads themselves, passengers with namesl ike Goldman and Sachs,brother Merrill, Mr. Stearns and they might even share their Club Car with a maverick like Mr. Prudential." Sat. Nov 13, to Greg M: "GENTLEMEN, I HAVE SEEN A TOP AND BELIEVE ME< THIS AIN'T NO TOP!" Oct 17, 1999, to DownSouth: "I am not just amazed but absolutely stupefied at the Doomsday Atmosphere on the threads that I have been reading not to mentin the PM's I have received... All of this crap about PPI, CPI, TRADE DEFICIT, BON DYIELD< CRB INDEX< GOLD, etc etc etc is nothing more than minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day peanuts...Last week we had horrible employment numbers and what happened? THE DAMN MARKET WAS UP OVER a 100 pts. F riday the PEE PEE numbers were bad because of the fear of inflation and what, yep market was down but interest rates actually fell..." "Like I have said many times, it is TIME my friend, just simple old TIME. If you don't believe it, what month is it and what are we talking about, yep you guessed it OCTOBER and believe me next October we will be discussing the same type of thing." Sunday, Nov 14, to Mucho Maas: "I have told everyone on this thread that all markets are basically the same. I don't care about numbers except lack thereof, I don't care about PE, I don't care about ASICS, I don't care about downgrades, I don't care about upgrades, I don't care about HDR< I care about only one thing, where is this stock headed, how much and when. Tue, Nov 9, to Skeeter Bug: "Nothing fascinates me more than people that are looking for meaning to something, especially markets. You must first recognize what the market is, not try and create a market you desire, if so, you will be a long time waiting. What is being traded in the market place has absolutely nothing to do with success or failure, only ones ability to adjudicate the up or down of such. If the market is billions and billions in tons of elephant dung, the dung itself has nothing to do with gian or loss. There is either a market for elephant dung or not....Whatever else you have been led to believe, I swear to God, it holds no more meaning than a simple bet on the direction of dung." ROPLMAO!!!! Jilly
