What I've found works the best, is to buy on despair, and sell on euphoria. Is it euphoria yet?

You've done well over the years... an understatement! "What I've found works the best, is to buy on despair, and sell on euphoria. I gauge the consensus sentiment, and go contrarian at the extremes. I bought heavily in late September 2001, and in October 1998, because it "felt" like investors were "giving up". Flows out of stock mutual funds is the best objective measurement of this, that I've found." Me too just I only sell little bits to keep a fairly constant allocation. Buying high beta stocks like AMAT, LRCX, etc. really helps beat the averages too. Kirk
