Rande. Great Observation. Could you give me a little advice on a trading setup (i.e. ..monitors, software, broker - direct access vs. non- direct, etc...). Thank you. I am considering a dual or tri-monitor setup. Should I split them or run separate drives for each? I have a cable modem and a phone line for my laptop. Also, I am looking for a good charting system that lays out Elliot & Gann Patterns for you. Thank you much. I know you are a busy man and I really appreciate your help. PS> Miss Saigon is closing the curtains I believe on the 31st of this month. I know not where she goes to next. Thanks again.... John

Yes Rande, though I've missed the doubles on micro-caps, (except for ESHR which I still hold at a loss, and hopefully on SCNT soon buying at $3) every day except one I made a profit since Jan. 5 or so. Even when the indexes were down my undervalued oversold doggies showed life. Won't continue forever but we still have plenty of upside. Look at LU for instance. Good example because it's both a blue chip and a beaten down dog. It's now around 21 from 17 a few weeks ago. That is not much of a move. It had been at 70 and why shouldn't it get back to $29. That's not overvalued. That's just approaching fair value. The thing was in December the market completely wrote off all future brand name and asset value of these companies. Now that value is beginning to be priced in again, little by little. Maybe I'll sell LU in the high 20's but not until then. And as for micros, if SCNT for instance dropped from 133 to 2 and I bought it at 3 why should I sell at 3 1/2? Nice little gain but there's no reason that puppy can't get back to $8-9 short-term. That's not much of a recovery at all in fact. Traders however get scared and grab their gains, profiting often and even going short after a pop. Fine, but every one of those dips lately has been a good buying opportunity. So once people realize buying on dips is profitable again (as they already are) we should have plenty more fuel left in the bull tank here. Also do not fight the Fed. The Fed is our friend now. And the earnings picture didn't turn out to be quite as bleak as many expected. We can also certainly expect earnings to improve going forward. I believe I'm in this for at least another 2-3 weeks. The market was just plain oversold, esp in techs, and now it's merely correcting.

Hi Rande! I finally got the opportunity to read the write up of you in Money Magazine. It was very well done and I felt proud for you and your accomplishments. I feel proud just being a lurker of your thread. Heartfelt congratulations, dabum

The next LPTH? API's latest press release Tuesday December 19, 3:21 pm Eastern Time Press Release Advanced Photonix Inc. Announces New Deep UV Windowless Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2000--Advanced Photonix Inc.® (AMEX:API - news) announced that it has recently introduced a new line of deep ultraviolet (UV) windowless Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs). The new 157 series offers a hermetically sealed, windowless, all solid state device that is rugged and compact and provides quantum efficiencies superior over a longer spectral range to the traditional photomultiplier tube (PMT) and can deliver up to four times as much gain as a traditional avalanche photodiode. Modules are available with the new detector in 3mm, 5mm, 10mm and 16mm diameters and house an adjustable high voltage power supply requiring only +/- 12 volts input along with a low noise, high-speed AC coupled transimpedance amplifier. The new series was designed specifically for fine line photolithography equipment manufacturers, who are continually working to keep up with the increasing demand for technologies enabling the manufacture of smaller, more powerful computer chips. In announcing the new design, Brock Koren, president and chief executive officer of Advanced Photonix Inc., said: ``We are very pleased with the new 157 series LAAPDs. They were designed in response to emerging market demand for equipment to make circuit components of smaller dimensions, allowing computer chip manufacturers to include more transistors and circuit elements on increasingly smaller chip surfaces. ``The new design allows us early entry into the microlithography market segment, at a time when our component can be designed into the end product by original equipment manufacturers.''
