>>>The shift to indexing has been daunting for those of us who may have to read something twenty times before the light emerges, but this is the price of progress, and is good.<<< Rick. This is something that is troubling me. Is the index discussion scaring people away from discussing equity trades? I hope not. A problem of mine is that when I decide to learn something new, I jump in with both feet and tear it apart. I become almsot obesessed with learning it until I feel comfortable with my knowledge. This is what has happened to me with my new index trading system. I temporarily left equities behind...I still made tardes, but didn't get into much conversation about them. I'm still very interested in talking stocks. I enjoy going long calls and puts and shorting calls and puts. I still do quick searches each day to see if an equity trades pops out at me. It's been a little dry lately. Point iis, I for one will still talk stocks with anyone who is interested. >>>I've admired the strategic thinkers here, like Judy<<< This is another interesting point. I've been wondering why Judy disappeared, and IMO she did so because the conversation didn't match what she wanted to discuss any longer... >>>>David G. got me interested in the banks. Lisa discovered Vivus (bless her heart, and more). Kevin, of course, (except for Dell puts <ggg>)<<< ROFL! Yeah, that freakin' DELL did NOT wnat to let me have my way. But boy was I stubborn about it. I kept buying more and more and more puts. I must have lost over 40K on DELL this year! Anybody up for puts on DELL??? <<<g>>>

Rick: I got you interested in banks? I'm flattered. Unfortunately, I haven't been trading the banks. Wish I had been. Have you been following WFC? I'm here, just not posting as much. I took something of a hit last month and am in the process of rebuilding. No one should write this thread off. A lot of people are just takinig a breather. David

Hi Rick, >>Kevin W. for sheer tenacity<< Thanks very much Rick for thinking of me. Wolverine at your service. I wish I could contribute more. Even though I have a great job and I like what I do, I'd rather trade the markets. I wish I had the time to spend to develop my own system and really study the markets. Since I don't, I'm taking in as many cues in as possible (from this great thread) to help my trading. This is then blended with what I see in a chart since this is my perceived strength (based on years of studying chart patterns). I try to remind myself that chart patterns only give potential targets. If the pattern isn't fulfilling itself and departing from what I expect, I bail and cut my losses. I wish I was able to bail when KLIC broke down from its high - it happened so fast. One of the most reliable patterns is a false breakout. I don't know of any right now. If anyone comes across one, pass it on for discussion. Take care, Wolverine, who's wishing he had a big enough account to write covered calls every month for income
