robin, i beg to differ. i followed mike long on gztc and made over 100%. i made nice bank on lgnd (15-20%) cege was good for another 50%. i'm up on gems by 70% even at current levels due to lucky buying and selling. i'm currently down on genzl after doubling my money and not successfully trading it. but, i'm not worried. i'd be shocked if it doesn't hit 100% with 12 months. in fact, i've done excellent on mike's long reccomendations mixed with my own valuation and trading style. overall i've made about 40-50% this year on mike's longs. mike is not a one way wonder. did you see his profits on slot long? bank. you don't have to like mike but at least be honest. nobody wins them all. except steve ;-)

Robin, You are wrong again, as is your wont in life. -g- I was bullish on all the good techs from the 1990-1991 lows all the way through 1993, which was when the big money was made in techs, and have remained bullish on many of them to this day. I was bullish on biotechs from the 1994 lows through today, making all the big money in that area. I was bearish on the most overpriced techs at the very top, making even more money. The fact that I buy low and sell high must disturb you. The fact that I am not right on every single issue must disturb you, as it does me. -g- But, getting all the home runs using a high return-low risk system of investing is worth the pop ups. You really ought to try leaving the herd-think behind some time. -g- MB
