JH, Re: Market Read

I've been having some fun tonight posting some views on that issue. Pull me up and they are before you. <gg> Very important is that one of my sandbox mentors went bullish tonight for the first time in two years.

I used to have some fun as an umpire when I did a game where I didn't know the folks involved. I called the game: guess who the coach's son is? Sadly, I usually won the game. My youngest, who graduated from high school in May and will get his college Associates degree next month, asked me why I didn't encourage him in sports. I could only state: well, son, if you honestly look back upon the experience, you really weren't very good. Nonetheless, from my very front row seat, I always enjoyed watching the exceptional athletes.

What I always stressed, and part of the reason that we were never affiliated with LL, is that only 5% of the 10-12 year olds will play high school sports, only 1% will play at the college level, and none will be a pro. Just the facts. That said, we raised so much money, that we could, after the regular season ended, field, uniform and equip 6 tournament teams. Essentially, anyone that wanted to play on a tournament team could.

Part of why I moved to FL is that I just enjoyed it too much. In addition to over 100 baseball teams, we ran basketball, football, softball, and a whole lot of other "stuff."

As to the Market, good, bad or indifferent, I hope it sells off in the morning, as I want to enter long.

Hi all together!

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!
