You and I think alike, Robert. Please keep posting here when you have a chance.

I am trying to put the past month in my "live and learn" box. I'm relatively new to the market and haven't experienced a time like this when overall sentiment and momentum slams value small caps. The lesson for the future - take profits when the taking is good. Those who banked some money in October when everything was peaking are nodding their heads sagely at this point while the rest of us try to climb up out of the rubble.

I plan to keep watching and researching good value plays, to be ready for the turnaround which we will hopefully see in January. There are still lots of good low PEG stocks out there waiting for the right moment.

My DD also mirrors yours except I use the Internet almost exclusively since mail can take a few weeks to reach me here in Mauritius. But it's rare that I can't find what I'm after unless it's a foreign company which doesn't file with the SEC. Thank god for Edgar; without it we would be shooting blindly (or getting shot at, more likely).

Market's prety quiet today. I'm looking for some small gains to ease my weekend. Best of luck to you.
