I don't take the time to play on this thread very often; however, I have great respect for Bill and read every (almost) post. It seems that most folks miss the point that the BK is simply a big wave. Enjoy the experience and ride it! Know, however, that the bottom has some really sharp coral outcrops, and if you get off too late, your going to get hurt. A few weeks ago, I introduced my BAMBI indicator to the thread. Yes, it appeared last Friday to be running out of steam, but it was still a very positive 21 to 8 with 1 undecided. I'm convinced that the way to make money in this market is simply to ride the waves. They come and they go with the regularity of the ocean. No, I can't tell you when to get off the wave (and neither can anybody else). But, as long as the magical illusion continues, enjoy the ride. Yes, I believe that now is the time to start pocketing some fantastic profits. But, I'm not interested in puts. Clearly, this week is in the camp of the bulls. Next week is the real key -- good ole' options expiration week. The key question is will Mr. Market allow the bulls to take some really big profits. We'll see! BWDIK Berney

Whipsaw, Ralph Acampura is nothing more than empty head sales man, moving with the heard. Wen SE Asia problems surfaced he retreated from DOW 10,000 now he is back the SE Asia economic problems are still there. Haim

Bloomberg Mar 12 1998 12:15EST "Hedge Fund Buying Boosts Bonds" <snip> Well-known hedge fund manager George Soros is rumored to have bought 15,000 June bond contracts within the first 15 minutes after the release of the retail sales report,floor sources said. <snip> Fund manager Warren Buffet was also rumored to be selling stocks and buying bonds. <snip> "Maybe the hedge funds think the Japanese economy is going to collapse or get much worse, which would justify these low yields,but,given the strength in the US and Europe, the gains in bond prices today are most definitely counterintuitive," Lonski said. <snip> (John Lonski is senior economist at Moody's Investor Services.) FWIW. Good hunting.
