It's definitely as you say - a move out of micro and small caps. However, given the size of the move, you will start to see more newsletter ramp ups as relative values are still high compared to big caps.

Big caps are not getting hurt as bad, but not doing very well in general. Small and microcaps are biggest movers both ways. The whole year has seen most stocks run, consolidate and then move back up. I am thinking since a lot of people made good coin this year they may want to cash out for awhile. I hope not. I have been mostly out for a week. The NAS hit my buy signal today and now I am mostly in. Cray

Jim, I took gains on VASO (10 cents) and NWD (6 cents but on 20k sh.) today and managed to break the 4 day losing streak...not by much however...less than a $k, but I'll take it. I was hurt today mostly by INAP COVD WEDC NGAS. Hopefully tomorrow the markets will show gains, though as you mentioned, the micro and small caps have been in a continuing decline for 2-3 weeks now inspite of further gains in the Nasdaq. Think I heard on the news the Russell 2000 was off by more than 1% today which explains what's happening....best of luck tomorrow! tuna

One other note: I added CYPT @.55 and SCKT at 2.82 (both rose from these prices by the close but the SCKT could have been had in the low 2.60's so I missed the bottom badly) CYPT closed at .56 and SCKT at 2.98 I think. CYPT ran from .52 to .88 on it's last run I got in too early and out too early but made a nice gain. Haven't been in SCKT for months but made money in it also...I had orders in for several other stocks but was a little too stingy in my limits...missed XNVA INAP WEDC OMR NGAS CULS. I didn't look yet to see what my 2 sells closed at (VASO + NWD) but I'm just happy to have taken a couple of gains....I'll write again tomorrow after the close when I get home....tuna

Holy Moly! Of the 140+ stocks I watch: 101 down, 33 up, 9 unchanged today!! If you asked me to guess how much Nasdaq dropped today based on these figures, I'd guess down 75-80 points and we were down 3! Give me a break! No wonder we're losing money! Heck, with the Nasdaq up 11 a couple of days back I still lost over $1k....I was extremely lucky to make several hundred bucks today to break my 4 day losing streak now that I see what took place. It isn't too hard to understand why January tends to be so positive if they beat the crap out of all these little stocks in December....just my thoughts...anyone see similar results in their watch lists today? TIA...tuna
