Hello and Happy Holidays to all,

I am back from Florida Vacation, had great time in the sun, had bad time in the rain.....duh....

Sold APSG and AMES on trip, paid for airflight anyway.

Watching markets carefully, and do not want to do anything foolish.

Bought MDCO at 17.25, I think was support level. Watching to buy MAVK around 18.5

Tried to get Limit Order of FTIC but shot down,,,wanted 10.75

Bought more RADAF at 14.50 on vacation, had blowout earnings and lost my bet of the 20.00/sh stock price at earnings.....bummer.....missed by 1 #@@#&* point!
Anyone interested in details of this bet, e-mail me, and I will send out the details for only 100 bucks.

Watching similar game plays with ATVI and THQI ( this one is strong)

ECGOF support at 9.00
DWSN support at 14 - 15....
MALL has support at 8.50 ....will try to buy Friday.
RADAF has support at 14.00
DMMC is strong again.

Reading good book on " Points and Figure Charting" by Tom Dorsey, is anyone familiar with this book? Hopefully I can understand a little about what Mark talks about sometimes, right now, his shorting interests me. I hear options are a better and more conservative play than shorting?

Happy Holidays again,

jim

All --- Trident Microsystems (TRID) looks like a good short candidate. Edgar filings for last qtr show nearly 79% of revenues came from ASIAN countries. A news release today has expected revenues down 30 -35% and a loss for the fiscal 98 2nd qtr. I shorted at 7 5/8. If the Asian mess gets worse this stock could really tank. Regards.
