Food for thought on NAZ vs Sp500 relative strength: I ran a little backtest to see what the odds of the "market" making any progress while the NAZ Composite was either strong or weak. So far here's what I got: 9/1/88 - 3/18-98 NAZ Composite buy and hold = 379% I played with a few moving averages on the the ratio of Naz/Sp500 relative strenght chart to get this output. (You would Buy the Naz Comp. Index when its stronger and step aside when its not.) btw SRV is positive but not strong. Need a trading rage so it can be used with high confidence. Pure Trading return = 337% (not bad) Risk = 56% of the time (very good) If you went to Money Market when you were "out" = 459% (Very Good) With ~4.2 round trips/year. Now...what if we could have gone short when we were "out"????? BTW..this gizzmo went on a sell on 3/9,......fwiw.

Nemer --- thanks for telling the story again. Yeah, aren't grandkids GREAT? I had one, once. Lost that in the divorce, too. Oh, well, my 2 year nephew does a GREAT job of entertaining me!!! I might just have to drive up there to see him.....sure don't want him coming here to my office!!! My place is definitely not "kid proof" in that regard......of course, still working on the other dimension of getting "kid proofed"... daw grins I still haven't looked at these internet stocks, but hey, found a client today who wants me to send them a contract for 300 hours of Informix consulting and they will pay the retainer. I like it. Pay me now and I work later. Now, to get the contract to them!!!
