You've had a quiet corner here for a few days because I forgot my pw (would try "Alzheimer" but couldn't remember how to write that ggg). Then my SI-email still stoud from the time I went here (anywhen in the late 80's), and all my former email-providers have gone bust (CompuServe.com, msn.de, ibm.net). As you know, now I'm with a German host-service (Strato) waiting for the next bancruptcy; so far they only had technical problems, their storage-units went away and with them 1.5 Mio sites ggg... Now they're in a lot of filings with their customers and their "Original-Flintstone-storage"-supplier, don't remember the company, something with a Einstein-formula?! As you see, I'm in a good mood - oh no, I couldn't realize any good trades, just because the burnrate sank ;) More, I've learned that I did better investing than the REAL mouse-company (you know, with this mouseface-ex-ceo William III (LOL!). "Extraordinary charges", great term for a slap 2/3 billion: I will call my losses from now on that way too. When I'm winning, it's intelligence, when I'm losing, it's extraordinary. Sounds like "colateral damages", he? I like the way how an old John Wayne brings it to look in the mirror and see a young Robert Redford. However, I'm still obligated to post here my real performance, but I swear, I didn't make my accounting so far - guess that must wait until I make a plus again ggg. Just that much: at a rough estimate - first I'm 75% below my last years high and second I was performing since 95 more than twice as well as this for me hard to stay Mr. Buffet(t). Take a gourmet-diner on me: a dry Big-Mac with brown sugar-sirup from Coke, his two favorite "toll-bridge"-companies. That's too few, gents - but I'm obviously not the born trader like all of you (more the burn-trader GGG) and must wait until my market-corner (techs) will stand up again. Instead giving any ridiculous estimates about coming trends (each of you know this better) I just will ask you what you're thinking about these entry-prices & and the related stocks: AMD 12, BBBY 29, C 43, CSCO 14, DLM 8, INTC 26, LEH 70, MRK 62, MSFT 66, PFE 39, PPL 52 (bot @ 52), SAP 30 (bot @ 31.60), TEF 33, TYC 46, WHR 60???????????? Any comments? Over all I guess it's a good idea to look at longterm-charts (weekly, monthly...) and to draw the lowest supportline you can find - that's it for me because I don't believe in hiflyers while telcoms and techs suck. Hey, you made a lot of great trades during the last week, congrats to all! Jury (April-weather in Zeeland - can't get it!)
