Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there ;-) Yeah, Steve, guess I still have a lot to learn until I reach the level of a turkeys mind :). My very special thanks to Paul due to his posting 9161 about "patience". This was - after Steve's options-strategy-hint - the second very important impulse I got from you here recently. Actually my biggest mistakes* came out off a lack of patience (caused by my personal situation), and it was very helpful to realize that. I hope I will change that too! ggg Gersh, you're right, I misinterpreted "futures" as "options" (in Germany "Options-Scheine" in difference to "Optionen"). In my humble understanding "futures" defined the group of "derivates" with contracts over a target-date, also included equity-options. However, I know that at least in US the term "futures" is handled as the group of termin-contracts exept on equities as underlying. Last but not least: Berney, I beg your pardon, I didn't target primary in you or other private investors with my "moralic" excursion about riding downtrends. I wouldn't attack you, sorry. IMU on this thread we all agree that discussions are not directed against individual members of the tread - but thanks god it's allowed here (???) to post even hard positions for or against opinions. If we add large "disclaimers" to every sentence, we would need a lot of lines without content - in this case we'd better write speaches for politicians or CNBC-journalists. gggg Facit: Friends, I smile when I write to you.* Greetings from sunny Zeeland! Jury * example: I added imo overvalued stocks (say long options) like csco and sunw mid of January and this was burning all I might have gained ytd. - under the line, I pay my debt ;), ytd 2.6% - nothing to be proud about that. BTW, I will add my last years result as soon as I know it - but it will be a desaster, I estimate about -40%! Last number; more than 60% cash, less than 25% long options in US. I remember f.e. angry discussions about US-wars, interference, European/American lifestyle, business, innovation-speed (ggg!) and so on. It would be my pleasure if we checked now, years later, whether some of us would insist in keeping his former opinion. ;) * In the bathroom of my dentist a small sign hangs on the wall: "I smile back if you smile"

Dear 2 cup sizes: Boussant indeed! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!! maybe ggggg Looks like JDSU warned again! The NAZ ought to/may have an abandon baby if we get a gap down tomorrow. I went back to cash this afternoon at the close for two reasons. First OEX hit my daily down trend line today at the high and said "bye bye". Secondly my 60 minute stochastics went above 80 and K crossed D to the down side, although they did not drop below 80. So the bottom line is that I sold at OEX resistance when we refused to either close near it or break through it. what I expect from here is that we go down to OEX 641.8 or so and if it holds I will buy back in. If it breaks it to the downside I will wait for the 60 minute stochastics to reset under 20. If, perchance, we zoom tomorrow past OEX 651, I will buy back in because it will be a break out on the daily. So with Intel saying that the recovery will be slow and JDSU warning again - will the market just shrug it off, I just don't know. The Fed stuck the normal 2 bln in plus an extra 469 million in for some spare change. ggg $DRG is at critical support at 400 so if it breaks to the downside the NAZNUTZ will run and if not the Drugz will prevail. gg I think the odds favor the NAZ going down. BWDIN??? Make lots of money! ggg CU Paul Kellam (aka the cash king, crash and burn baby!) PS: The Gersh factor is coming into seazon... The MOON be full in a coupla daz - we all know what dat mean! gggg

TRADE: 100% CASH RESERVE TO FMAGX AT THE CLOSE. xxxooo John Harton said he had support at 604, well I hope he's right.ggggg Really the only thing that worries me is the DOW breaking the diamond pattern to the downside and confirming it today. barf! I guess there is the possibility that the DOW will work its way down and the NAZ will work its way up! The news on GE was great after the close today, so goes GE so goes the market. maybe.gggg I am long in GE so lets "hope" it sky rockets. ggg Ok Mr. bust enhancer, CU later. ggg Paul Kellam
