Hey Jerry, after you've cornered all the KLIC stock, will you let us know when you're about to sell so we can buy put? <g> Glad to see you got on line.. I'm waving and ranting over some appraisers who don't know a conduit from a couch. Best Regards

OJ....A few weeks ago you mentioned that AFS was recommended I believe you said by "Dorsey". It was at roughly 67-68 then. It ran up nicely to 72+ and then has retraced to 66-67 area on the recent banking concerns. FWIW earnings should be out in a couple of days and remember this company has had I believe 19 years of consecutively increased quarterly profits. Should be an excellent time to get in for a possible earnings play. Might be worth checking into. (Lurker in Dallas)

Hi Jer, how are ya? >>> i was looking at Point & Figure charts... As of yesterday we were 100% oversold on the market...<<< What paremters do you use for box and reversal? Also, do you use closing data? I've looked at point & figure a little bit here and there but never studied it. Thanks. Kevin

Good morning Jer, how are you? Right now, I'm neutral but slightly biased towards the upside (just the opposite of everyone else here I believe). If we open higher, my 3-7 day trend indicator will confirm a bull trend. SPX--- 974.93 964.81 961.37 piv:954.69 951.25 944.57 934.45 break: 945.14 SPH8--- 983.77 972.37 967.83 piv: 960.97 956.43 949.57 938.17 break: 950.58 edit: BTW, I'm hoping for a slightly lower opening so we open in my neutral zone (and then I can get a buy signal when it breaks back above the neutral zone). I missed this scenario by .18 points in the SPX yesterday....a coulda shoulda woulda on a 10-point gain. I'd hate to see me miss more of the rally... I'm thinking about either buying puts on CSCO or shorting calls...looking for a retracement to the lower 50s. I think I'll wait until I see early market action and determine if the bull trend is intact or not... You around today?
