STOP it!!! A mania is a mania and when it starts we have plenty of time to join. No problem with that. But quit this "I guarantee sh*t". Nobody would take your money.

KIS: <Heres a hint: tomorrow will be the largest percentage gain in the history of the Nasdaq. Without a question. I'm betting my entire net worth on it> I am presuming that you have posted this to assist or save those of us who retain a bearish perspective. If that is the case, then suggesting that you are betting your net worth on a single situation is actually counter-productive to the attainment of that goal. Few investors are inclined to listen to folks who take such massive risks. If, on the other hand, you are posting this to bolster your own confidence (which may well be useful if you have indeed made such a one-sided bet), then I hope it works out for you, although the odds of this occurring are not good. When trying to persuade others of one's convictions, marshalling evidence is also useful, particularly when powerful assertions are made. "The mania is back", may be true, but two to three days doesn't make it so. "Greenspan is printing at a faster rate than any in history", may well BECOME an accurate statement, but it is early days yet, for asserting this as a given (never mind the probability that such activity on the part of the Fed might actually accelerate the worries of market participants). And I'm not so sure that the views of CNBC really have much impact on institutional investors or brokerage houses both of whom appear to be in "distribution mode". "Free money",..... Hmmmm. Do you think this statement does anything other than make you sound a bit "over-enthusiastic"? "Selling a truck load of naked puts tomorrow at the open(ing)" is also not the stuff to inspire confidence in your perspective. In a nutshell, whether your forecast for today's market action proves accurate or not, if I had observed a single (g) anywhere in your commentary, I would be joining you in a loud LOL, because it sure reads as an entertaining spoof of every manic bull I have ever met. Given the absence of same, I can only surmise that you actually believe what you have committed to print. If that is the case, I worry that both you and your grandmother are on the road to poverty. Nothing wrong with enthusiasm, but too much of it at the wrong time can lead to quick, brutal losses. Best, Earlie

Just To Make Me Feel More Comfortable Before Taking You Up On You Offer I'm going to send you my fax number by PM. Would you mind sending me a signed short note indicating that in consideration of my acting upon your advice you agree to indemnify me against any losses I incur on any and all shares of BRCM which I buy today. I'd also appreciate it if you would include your name and address. If you can include the name of an accountant you can verify you ability to make payment should it be required ( as you say probably no chance) I would feel comfortable making an even larger investment. Looking forward to the receipt of your fax.

Still Not In Receipt Of Your Note I would like to place my order ASAP since it already has traded at 117 3/4 while it closed last night at 115 13/16. I really appreciate this. This is not a trade I would have picked myself. The 50 SMA is right at 123 and it seems that it could have a little trouble with a trend line drawn from the intra-day highs of 11/15 and 12/6. But I don't know. I'm still holding a number of open shorts from Wednesday.
