G' Morning Mishedlo, You seem to thrive on excess risk... not only are we under this difficult market, but then you forget to execute even on profitable positions ? Then, the final turn of events helped you... well... is this the case of better lucky than good ? I did not do much yesterday, tending to other business. Early this AM I found this site that can serve as a "quick scan" to pick ideas/candidates for buy/sell opportunities. investtech.com I only found it this AM (courtesy of another thread, I do not remember which one). I have been playing with it a little this AM. I bought a book called "Devil Take The Hindmost" --a history of financial speculation-- by Edward Chancellor. Seems like an interesting book to read.

Hi mish, tosc, et al, I'm knocked out a bit by some kind of virus (hopefully not the flu) and just wanted to check in and say hi. If I feel any better tomorrow, I'll get over the the Motley Fool and introduce myself. In the meantime, I am hearing some very disturbing predictions from a couple of people I trust, both on SI and Hahn. Here is what Hahn posted on Thursday night: For Friday, March 2: Cancel all plans to buy a dip. This market is going lower sooner or later. The games being played by the “sell side” are going to backfire. The odds of a major market crash are much higher in light of the transparent market manipulation at the point of breakdown. An external shock will shake the control from the hands of the manipulators. Pull all orders to purchase stocks. I am taking this very seriously and will post more data that backs up this concern for a capitulation event. I'll be exiting all long positions on Monday and will add to shorts on the financials and some tech stocks.
