For those of you that remember and care, I was considering leaving my job earlier this year and daytrading. How foolish that would have been. Almost seems ludicrous to me now. Fortunately, I have continued in my line of work, and am doing quite well. Like many others, I got hurt in the crash earlier this year. I clawed my way back during the summer, but was still down. Fortunately, I saw this recent disaster coming and have been in 100% cash for about 2 months. Had other things going on to keep me busy. Being a single guy again in NYC is not a bad thing. BTW, my ex-, who moved to California in July, took Gizmo with her. Now it's just me and Jack. I sure do miss the little guy. I will keep him in my alias as a tribute. Anyway, this past week I was buying again. The whole week. I knew it had to be close to a bottom. I got in a little early on some and was down initially, but Friday took care of all that and then some. Trying to guess an absolute bottom is risky because NASDAQ reversals are usually severe, but since I figured that the NAZ will be over 4K by the end of the year, buying the premiere internet stocks at 3100-3200 should be a huge success. Which stocks? Take your pick. They're all so cheap. But I'd stay with networks and infrastructure providers, particularly wireless infrastructure. These are here to stay and growing rapidly. Retailers can't make money. Community sites, ala YHOO, can only make so much, as there are just so many advertising dollars to go around. B2B I am not sure about anymore. But infrastructure and wireless are still in their infancy. To me, this is obvious. So if they bounce short-term or you have to wait a while, they are still the best investment around imo. Anyway, glad to be back. I will not be a frequent poster as in the past, but may pop in from time to time. Would like to thank SirRealist for creating the best thread since Kimberly's and for doing a phenomenal job of reading the market. As he seems to think, I agree that there might be a little dip again before a continued flight upward. Thought this would happen on Friday and was a little surprised at the NASD's overwhelming strength. I will be a buyer on the next dip again as I am still 50% cash (in case the market had gone to 2800). Good luck everyone. G&J
