re: . (That was soon followed by O'Neil's firm taking out the "Enough is Enough" ads in IBD and The New York Times.) He has done that every time at major bottoms. I love that! Every beginning investor should read his book.

Sig, Hi. Here's John Murphy take on things... NASDAQ IS STILL THE KEY... As is usually the case when the market is turning more positive, the Nasdaq is leading the way. It led the rest of the market on the way down, and it is leading the market on the way up. That being the case, we continue to believe that the Nasdaq holds the key to the rest of the market. That's why we're choosing to focus on that key index. With the Nasdaq surging through its 200-day moving average this week -- together with today's upside breakouts in the Semiconductor (SOX) Index and several key tech stocks like Cisco and Intel -- we're adjusting our short-term targets upward. We've been saying for the past two months that we thought the Nasdaq had bottomed. However, we thought the first leg up would probably stall at its 200-day moving average. This week's bullish breakouts have ruled that out. We said this morning that the next upside target zone was to the July/August peaks in the 2100-2180 zone. (See first target zone on chart). We now think, however, that there's a strong chance that this rally could carry all the way to the May/June highs in the 2250-2270 region before we have a meaningful correction. We are concerned about short-term overbought readings. However, we think market momentum and strong money flows can keep this rally going awhile longer. Somewhere along the line the market is going to have a meaningful correction. However, it may not happen until the normal seasonal rally ends sometime in January.

reAbout the only way I learn is to own a stock, even only 10 shares Sig that is so wise. Had I bought even a little of CCMP and QLGC I would have seen it going strong and not been so scared. As it is, I do have DFXI and CMVT because they have low p/es, DFXI has strong earnings and CMVT has lots of cash, and they both seem to have bottomed. They are moving but not like my first choices would have. Tomorrow I'll get more gac.to too: I like those low priced stocks, I know they can go to zero easily but they can also double fairly easily. I bought a little DHI today because building seems to be still strong and will lead us out of the recession (IMO) and DHI has a history of strong earnings. The bottom line is that we have to make our own way in this game, though we can help each other. One reason I didn't keep my huge portfolio is that it was so easy (I think) now it is so hard to make money that I will definitely be putting some away when I make a lot and never again take it for granted. There are people at my school (teachers tend to be conservative about money and liberal about politics) that now will only buy Treasuries and be in MM funds because they are so scared. I know from our experience that big money can be made in the market...even this year had I not been so emotional I could have made back to a seven figure portfolio...and this was a HORRIBLE year overall stock-wise.
