>> This is a better tech board than most tech boards <<

Q, I couldn't agree more. I think it's the way we look at a stock as opposed to how the techies look at a stock.

Experience gained from trading cyclicals has taught most of us to take 10, 15 and 20 percent moves and be thankful. If techies don't get 50-100%, they consider their trades unsuccessful. (There are exceptions of course, I'm painting with a 4" wide brush for effect.)

Using my cyclical trading strategy and applying it to technology in the month of January, my tech portfolio is now up over 85% for the month. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't experience it myself.

If someone is going to trade tech in this economical environment then my advise would be to profit often, many times on the same stock.

A birdie told me GW goes through 6 like a hot knife through butter next week and we see 7. If this birdie is wrong, I won't put any bird feed out for him.
