Hi Steve, Thanks for your time in educating us and giving us information that we can not find any place else. My question is about options. What goes into deciding whether a company will have options listed for their stock. I checked CBOE home page and other places but no luck. Thanks again. johneb

Hi Don! You said:Remember I do all of my trading based on my 70-20-10 rule. Relationships between Market/Sector/Stock.. Does that mean you wouldn't trade right now since Market performance is so heavily weighted in your "system" and you wait until better overall conditions reestablish themselves? I call myself a beginner and i have noticed that it's hard for me to make profitable trades the last weeks and therefore stop trading and spent more time learning and reading. Any comments! Stefan

Hi Don: Like you, I try to keep things simple. Actually, I only use one proprietary signal indicator that I developed myself through many thousands of hours of experimentation and optimization to the exclusion of all others. I presume by your 70-20-10 rule that this is the percentage weighting of importance you apply to the market trend, strongest sector activity within that trend and strongest stock(s) within that sector. Blue chips kind of fit that picture right now. Personally, I was looking for a strong job number and I think this provided a lot of "anti-deflationary" confidence and underpinning to the overall market. All being well we should experience continued job growth during the coming months but at a more moderate pace than today's outstanding level. IMO, the continuance of this job creation miracle is high on the administration's agenda and I sincerely hope that it will not be necessary to raise rates any further for the remainder of this current Presidential / business cycle. Have a nice weekend Rgds Wiz
