And further to this point...Fair Disclosure..the FD rule...should not just encompass Company News, but the likes of GS, MER, et al disclosing, DAILY on their positions after their Up/Downgrades. BS...the scam would be over...never happen. Sheeite, isn't this supposed to be the Hi Tech Age. And they can't even report short/long positions for Public Viewing for 30 days or more, just like in the Western Union Telegraph age? Gimme a break, MOFOS. And if you think I sound PO'd..I am...no wonder dotbomb and dotmarket to follow. Aceholes, one and all

My short-term predictions are well-known. I'm not cheer-leading I'm stating my opinion (educated guess). And I don't mind shorts unless they're dishonest ones skewing the real picture too much, just as I don't like BS hype artists. Either way they cost people money instead of helping them make it. That's why I objected to your posting only the dot-bomb customers of SCNT. That was unethical and you shouldn't have done it. Left out all their blue chip customers which make for 95% of the revenues. Sure it's a dog but it's a survivor and cash-rich and it will double, triple, whatever from here. Up 30% this week in its first move off the bottom. Sister CMGI also moving now. I try to back up my arguments/hunches with facts, though inevitably we all rely on gut feeling. So far most of my hunches are right at least for the past three weeks. Beofre that I was hunchless. I continue to believe this bear market is now over. Sure they'll be some dips but generally upward. Notice the Naz never went below 2000 as bears had been insisting it would. It held around 2050 as I thought it would. But more important down Dow and Naz (unless you're playing indexes) are the sectors and individual picks. So far so good for me. Look at what my picks COMS, AAPL, GE, IBM, EMC LOR, LU, SCNT and VZ have done. Even NOVL, PALM and UIS are up around 20% from my buy points. The only one I can't figure out is WCOM. Why didn't it rally yet? Someone's got to be deliberately holding it down. Sometimes this is done prior to a buy-out. (knock on wood). Well there's always next week. And I average $16.50 on it (mainly bought at $15 then at $19) so I'm not exactly panicking. I have plenty of faith in it. Nice end of day rally, and after hours too. Lots of potential takeover deals looming. That could start driving this market. Consolidation in telcos, nets and software in particular. Got a feeling about PALM and LOR being taken out soon, then there's always LU, WCOM, FON and SCNT. Jeez, half my stocks are takeover targets. gg I should be so lucky. Only takeover I ever got was the first trade in my life. Got bought out the next day for a 90% gain. Haven't been that lucky since. Overdue now. Great week. Expecting 2-3 more nice ones now. God willing of course.
