when you figure out how to remove your emotions from decision making by dictation, please share by transplanting of major organs, including the brain? changes (if they happen at all) occur very gradually if we latch onto a stock that rises 10-fold, only then will each of us find out whether we harnessed most of the run my guess is half will exit way too early and half will exit way too late and the remaining 5% will get out near the top, just like they did the last time tracking a Concept Stock seriously, what will engender a fundamental change in the emotional-intellectual link ??? / jim

I feel the same way freeus and I'm sure a lot of us do--a lot of us were at all time highs in early Jan because of QCOM and the general parabolic high of the NAZ. That's why it's important to add t.a. into fund. analysis of stocks AND of the general world/market conditions (the way lurqer does the latter is impressive). There are a # of people on trading threads who know t.a. who got out in January and are actually getting back in right about now. Still, that doesn't mean we're going to 5K...we could just trade up to 4200 again, top of our trading range. Even so, I feel if I get back to that place again I too will take enough out of the market to feel comfortable. And trade less often.
