Ike.. and others who benefit from this forum. At the intro page of SI there are some articles referenced to MSNBC and others. I feel there is something special and giving about this 'place' which we feel free to voice our opinions in. Following is a copy of a message I sent to MSNBC commentary.. others may wish to send their own version if so inclined, and don't feel the buck stops with MSNBC, spread the word! Best Regards, JG "Gentlemen: All that glitters is not gold. Silicon Investor has the right stuff and is well attended by many insightful individuals in the technology and investment community. Their combined synergistic offering of free wheeling, animated discussions about putting your money to work and candid personal commentary beats the pants off the commercial sites whose goal is transparently obvious (in most cases and more subtle in others ) simply to market a product or service. You should, out of intellectual honesty, do all you can to support a 'business free speech forum' that does more than any other virtual place in the electronic world to offer honest and candid co-investor advice. Sincerely, James Cordes

Iqbal: The market rally today lifted only a couple of my stocks. I am selling mostly right now. I watched the SOX all day. I thought, before all the analysis of INTC, that INTC would help with a NASDAQ upswing. I have the levels you have listed and am following these throughout the day. For sharing your knowledge and market information, I thank you.

As I write I see a big rally in Nikkei- HSI strongly up trying to take out this darn 9000 level- I and Ray differed last night on my SPA level of support mine was 955 his 953 we closed right on the level-right now strongly up- but anything strongly up can also be strongly down so lets not get too worried about where is the soft belly- for me unfortunately the configuration is such that I cannot avoid the possibility of the big upside 'bhumbo'- if you read one of my previous posts it is clear that these patterned movements weith equal number of tests on lows and highs do produce a one sided break which can take the hell out of this market 1500 point move up or down- I am rather biased on up side and remain so as none of the big indicators I follow have shown contarary indication rather it is good now lets not go far we had higher jobnless claims and than we got this Phily index--- niw this is the highest reading showing good manufacturing pace the prices paid show me no inflation- now hold on Ike- lets go to France what's happeing there in Mtifs and Bund now when I called for a bond strategy that is based on a key level of 5% YIELD i THOUGHT THAT WE WILL not br able to break it and that exactly is the case- being a utter globalist I think we will see some consolidation in bonds and this consolidation will release a lot of money trying to find some good quality beaten down equties- I think once again they will run up to my most favorite market the 'naughty DOW' and wild 'S&P- beautiful and gorgeous' this beauty is sitting at its prime looking for a bullish tryst with history- I like queen Abby *(by the way a good analyst and ample of mutual admiration)read on the market I think if we stay above this 955 level my trend is not broken why to worry about being bearish when 937 level is for me to short- why I should I hurry to cut this market- turning bearish at the right time is what I ahve learnt- I am so careful with my levels - I have goos feelings from a third close above 260 262 area on SOX 1430 on Naz stays strong- bonds behave exactly the way I think they should -deflation is out of window -earbnings are right on the track DEC SUNMICRO- so lets wait and see - I will go long right here on break of 267-270 on SOX and will loook for a ride to test 980 on SPA- I will see how all my global indicators are reacting and once I find 'premiums' on flight to quality eroding I will long the market above 985 level- I will assume 1050 to be taken out- If my SOX takes out 252 rather I will see to reverse - I am worried that we will see some ringing of shorts befre this uptrend materialises so I need to be careful- my Nikkei level of 16200 can be taken out - for me the Key markets Are Japan China HSI Korea all these are going thru a basing action and I will play big on 'Henderson' HSI stocks but waiting to get in........ My levels - 955 break I will loook to ride down to 942 area- 962 break I expect a higher move up to 975 area with SOX taking out 272 area- ASEA remains my concerns but I see signs of stability - so at the moment I look at things pretty relaxed-- bibi
