Morning PB: My 6 days of trading went rather well, a lot of work but far better on the soul than holding a lot in equities. The day will have to come when a person can again call some of them investments. Dont know when These are the types of stock I will be looking at today I am not buying the gold yet but am thinking gold can do well , having a secure min price plus potential gain with unstable world economy ALLY ANN BRCD GOLDX HGMCY IGT INVN ISLE JAH MNTGX NTAP NWRE RHAT SJM SNIC TSCO. Have spent a lot of time thinking about how to locate the next Dell, but its very hard to find some of the important info like: Family man Middle class parents Minimum college education. 5 to 10 year old corporation Market cap 500 mm to 2 bil Mass market product whose usefulness is increasing Able to delegate Top quality product A product used every day, personal, An able communicator with identifyable, consistant goal. Does not buy other companies.? Minimum company debt Can inspire others That Michael Dell is a true genius -just not in the common scientific way I consider the family background very important, in learning values and getting oriented to "doing ones own thing" within the culture. ( some parents crush their kids) Here I think about about the success of George Bush, the Kennedys, the 4 generations of military Mc Arthurs, movie stars, musicians, banker families. Where the kids at early age learn the fundamentals of the profession and the rewards that go with success. Enough of the soap box, back to work. Sig IMO the job here is to steal some stocks on the cheap<G>
