rrman: I might be a new face, but I just play what comes; up or down. Noone knows if we are at 'the' bottom. I got 2 of the ones that were on my shopping list yesterday cause the price was right. Doesn't matter whether the market goes up or down s/t from here. I'll pick up the 3-4 others when either their price is right, or on a major market turn. As far as my trading account, I always play all swing turns - minor & major. That's what keeps the kitty fed...<GG> Kemo Sabe

well, i'm kinda new to CFZ but Heinz and a few know me from one of them udder threads. March 31 2000 - Message 13319889 When I said do-or-die, I meant exactly that. And here we are. I've just been bored by most of the decline and have had little to add. I trade futures intraday; most of my capital is tied up in retirement tax protected accounts, and in Canada, we have no mechanism to short the market in such accounts. So I pulled almost everything out to cash, GICs, and tbills in early 2000 except for some oil complex stocks that I have traded in and out. I kinda missed shorting the palms and redbacks of the world directly but NQ and ES give me a lot of bang for my buck. Anyways, I'm out of the wood work now primarily because the last pin holding the wheel on is the SPX/NYA, and I'm very interested in seeing how this plays out. Anyone notice all the new faces showing up lately who knew all of this was coming down the pipe, but now it's over and we're at a bottom.... Ho ho ho Hey, for a while I posted charts showing market price against # of postings on the udder thread (mdd). It was useful for calling short term bottoms. Posting volume would climb rapidly. 5 period RSI of posts plus RSI of VIX was not a bad indicator LOL. However, I think in a strongly trending down market we have to dismiss the post volume on a thread like CFZ. Just think of it as the opposite of the insane cheerleading that caused RBAK or QCOM or any of the other high fliers to be Hot Subjects day in, day out. Baby, this trend probably has legs!

I should also add that the other reason I surfaced here was because I noted Heinz and Les posting here, and despite being a chartist first and foremost, their posts on mdd always left me with interesting things to think about. Heinz, any comments on the continuing problems with meat-related ag-business in Europe? Sure seems like one kick in the teeth leads to a further beating each and every week. Would imagine that shortages could be an issue over time...
