William: "and hence evidently leave myself open to personal insults from denizens of the Amazon thread". You give more personal insults than you receive. I will be watching the market closely when I get back from Singapore next week -- looking for signs to see whether the market is in serious trouble or just building up to a VIX event, as you described it. If the market really is in trouble, my challenge will be to avoid buying the panic dive. If it is not in serious trouble, my challenge will be to buy the panic dive. The trouble is - the panic dive could very well come before it is clear just how much damage is being done. Good luck in Vegas.

I wish you traded them like you did. Your "selling everything" calls used to be very timely. I know I saved a bunch by trimming my positions in early Jan 2000 after you gave your sell everything call. Today the market breached the lows it hit the day INTC preannounced and a retest of the May lows could be on the cards. I am very bearish now and that usually has marked bottoms. Thanks Anindo

>>So you can call it wild-eyed speculation or any label you like. This system has made me good money.<< imagine that. a bull doing very well in a bull market. hmmmm. ;-) william, buying yahoo in 1996 or 1997 is MUCH different than buying yahoo now. your strategy has bankrupted many a folk. not b/c the strategy is inherently bad but b/c it doesn't take into account changes in valuations, markets, economies, etc. congrats on the seducing gains of 3 out of the last 4 years. extrapolate said gains into the future and you will ventually know tough love and economic violence by their first name. wrt holding a basket of net stocks... what good is a basket with no bottom. wrt yahoo... their stock price has been on fire. don't confuse stock price with company "fundamentals."
