heh IM glad your viewing this as a positive Tom! re: stocks rising : ) We didnt take out 1900 so IM still holding.. I added more JNPR and actually am sitting on a profit (for how long?) but it seems lately nothing is going right for me.. a reality check perhaps?? AMAT I held into tomorrow in the hopes that they take it under 40 one more time for me before earnings after the close, otherwise thats going to smart/leave a mark.. VPHM stopped me out at 24 but that wasnt entirely unexpected.. Also shorted QLGC and TXN.. Unlike you, I will be covering to preserve my capital if we continue with the rocket ride here.. This is truely a remarkable market and once again I am humbled.. but I really enjoy being humbled when I am properly allocated, unlike the 'old' days where this would be a 1/4 of my account gone scenario : ) the ounce of bearishness I still have left in me says that JNPR and BRCD have reached a top and will lead the fall whenever it may happen.. TXN is an absolute joke, although the strong close tells me I will be stopping out of that after AMAT earnigns tomorrow give the nasdaq another push higher Thursday.. ...did I mention my hot tub is broken? .. did I mention that MY HOT TUB IS BROKEN!?

Tom, Make no mistake....reality has nothing to do with 'this' market..... You know how this turns out, as do I. But in the mean time, it will make you crazy. There is nothing out there but the swings and a squeeze. Look at the popular 'large' shorts ((read squeeze)read the ones that I have fought so hard) on the day. No new highs or actually down on the day. In the morning? Back to the 100 to 160 intraday swings. There are stocks to be distributed, after all. I've seen 10,200 mentioned. Maybe. I thought 9600. Doesn't matter. As a short, you have to keep the swing in mind on non-news days and trade the swing. Kabul was worth 200 pts. Anything better is worth 500 pts. I try to trade the bigger picture. I am 'thinking' that I understand the near-term picture...which is the same mentality that fueled Bubble I....thusly I call this Bubble II. I just don't want to play. lee PS: I might have to play with ISSX since they took my money.... PPS: I have been reading the E-wavers too much.... In the morning either the gap'n'crap or the sudden dip only to end near the open. Happy hour tells all...
