Mary. Great buy in SWC Tues down in the 14s Good opportunities like that don't lie around though<g> You have to jump on them when they're available. OTOH if you bought SWC when it was up at 18 or 19 you wouldn't be too happy would you? Too many people simply don't have an adequate control of the fear thing to to buy good stocks when they're on the bargain counter. On the contrary the average investor "feels safe" only AFTER he's watched the stock run up first and the early buyers are celebrating their success. That's one reason the vast majority of investors don't make much money in the stock market. Elsewhere, been taking profits in some of the energies I bought in late Feb per posts on Strictly Drilling II and Stock Attack II at that time. Message 17287458 <Closed out quite a few profitable positions the past few days with OSX and XNG action looking from this keyboard like they're completing at least a significant ST top. Satisfied with another good ST gain in TESOF, then lightened 40% of the KEG position for a profit. Also exited my only long call position - in CRK, and closed out a profitable trade in IMGN puts today. Moderate profits in both of those. Basically raising cash and reducing exposure. Don't know the exact percentage, but cash probably up to 35% from 1/2 that, a week ago. Have not sold any PM positions, and liked price action in both the HUI and some of the individual PM stocks today.> So no, out of the dozen stocks I like a lot, SWC is about the only one I've done any buying in this week. Does that answer your question? Isopatch
