Actually I can just as good as what I found there. Giving double talk about what the market can do when something like this happens is pretty easy.

eg

>>Wednesday Morning DOW down, market is looking very weak. Microsoft down as Mr. Gates woes with the government continue. Windows 98 launch date is in question. Overseas's mixed to down. Techs mixed to lower. Bonds rebounding. Semiconductors look good due to the Micron Technology upgrade and the recent downward movement of this sector many are seeing this as a time to buy overpriced Semi's. I believe the bear is here and we will see a downward trend, at least for the next 10 days. <<

Then just after that

>>. If the market reacts in a positive manner after Thursday then that will confirm we are in a STRONG market and that it will continue. Friday and what happens in the first part of next week will be a great indicator. If you are a long term investor you can use this period to buy stocks (i.e. INTC) and hold <<

And the biggest mistake of it all..


Friday 9:53 I pulled the trigger on the 495 Puts at 5 7/8. Put a stop in for the 500 Puts at 7 1/4. Market trading through the trading curbs. All indexes looking good. If today ends up strong, this is a very strong indicator for the continuation of the BULL market, and yesterday was just a mild whipsaw...May switch sides to the call sides later today..will have to check it out later...May wait for monday..Will advise <<


Now you need some real balls to print out things for the world to see and it takes a lot of courage and self confidence so I am not trashing the guy, just noting that all off us are fallable.
Also try Jenna's forum where she picks earnings plays. And LastShaddow whos neural net predicted a drop to start on wed sometime last week. (Nasdaq Gems). The ideas thread Trading in and out for profits is also good to get a world wide commentary on what the world markets are doing and why..
