Dabum, I wholeheartedly agree that the way to make money in this market is to find out which way the price is moving and then board the train. Unfortunately I worry about boarding a train that is about to back up and hook onto another car. g. I'm too stupid and too lazy to follow your lead and learn tech analysis. I try to figure out whether the train is really headed there or just in the process of changing it's schedule. That's why I wonder when the semi-equip sector will show some healthy fear of a longer than anticipated recovery. On the other hand, maybe it will limp along until the hope actually becomes a reality. One thing for sure, the balance sheets of the semi-equips are, as they usually are, in better shape than most sectors of the economy. There have been a lot of snow caused power outages here in N. Calif. that left me off line for a total of 6 days. I now own a Dell laptop. Hard to hit the "B" without hitting that little directional button unless you've got those tiny Slider hands. g. Lots of percipatation and we're above normal and may have our hydro power base back if things follow through. I see we finally had a decent api report. cbs.marketwatch.com As for how I've been doing, I can't complain. I'm ahead for the year and there were times when I wondered if that would happen. I'm only up about 4% but I'm sure not complaining. I would, however, gladly trade percentages with you. g. I am, like many others I'm sure, looking at oils and biotechs as the interesting sectors. I'm about 40% cash since I sold my shares of avir after it's buyout. Most of the other 60% is in biotech and I can tell you that it's hard to "invest" there as opposed to "speculating." I comfort myself with the knowledge that I'm not that hot of an "investor" anyway. What sectors are you looking at or are you just sorting for stocks that fit your technical investment profile? Ed

dabum, well - I finally learned about 'hollow red candles' and 'full red candles' because of your persistent mentions. It IS useful, once you can get it through your head that red means closing lower than the previous day. Haven't seen this anywhere else. We should get the semi equip numbers this week. I hope for higher orders. Gottfried PS: if you want to watch an AMAT trader, watch advocatedevil. He posts multiple plays daily as they happen. As far as I know he doesn't use candles.
