Hi Barry; OFF Topic, But ALL in all I'm moving more to just market timing, and playing baskets , my market timing has greatly improved and the safty of baskets gives me a much better risk/reward ratio. By baskets I mean, CEs, WEBs, NO LOAD FUNDS, SPY , and soon the AMEX will have a DJI deposit rcpt.. No loads are the cheapest to go in and out, in fact I can get in and out of many of them with no commissions and zero charge , disavatage is I have to accept closing price of the day, and make my call before 2pm. This market and sector timing beats heck out of playing the indivdual stocks. Like today the broad market is down..but TECH is moving up..RSIFX is a buy. No loads don't like short term traders or market timers..but I buy via the broker and my order goes in a basket with others, my shares stay with him, so it's no hassel for me. Thing is I already know RSIFX will close up today, it's like catching a train that's already started out of the station and hoping it will have enoung steam to repeat the act. WEBs are neat, I can trade them on the cheap $12 in / $12 out up to 5000 shares. and can get an idea before the open how to mess with them. quote.yahoo.com This market/ sector timing is causing me to lose interest in trying to call individual stocks.
