I would be more interested in hearing from John Murphy,
than from Micheal Murphy.

I'm sure that John is saying, "the current downtrend is still in effect."

I'm tempted each day to wager that the bottom is in, yet I hold off, knowing that picking a bottom correctly is almost impossible, and that I have little to lose by waiting for confirmation of the next uptrend.

As I said before, some of his smaller stock recommendations haven't worked, but his calls on the big caps such as INTC and AMAT have been terrific. I also find that he definitely knows the general trends in tech, whether computer sales are strong etc. Last year at this time he told everybody to stay away from the communications stocks such as ASND and CSCO while other tech managers such as Van Waggoner et al were loading up on them. Well, you know what happened.

No he's not always right, but then do you know of anybody who is?? He's made me a bunch of bucks, and as a subscriber I have absolutely no complaints. He's been pounding the table lately on both INTC and AMAT, and we're about to find out very shortly whether he's right on this or not. Good luck.

Regarding Michael Murphy, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

One thing I've noticed about his newsletter is that his model portfolios seem to always be seriously underperforming, regardless of what the market is doing. However, there was one major call he made last August, and that was to get off margin. If I had followed that advice, I would be one happy camper right now.
