Please send your feedback on the Newsletters and/or Daily Watch Lists to: netmart.com Here is our new flyer: geocities.com From feedback so far, we decided to keep 'trackers' on the earnings plays to make sure they don't pre-report and run-away from us. We'll also be trying to make Silicon Investor's Market Gems into a 'real time trading forum'. This is for subscribers as well as non-subscribers. Eventually we plan to have a 'hotline' for up to the minute positions on our earning plays and short term trades.

'Earnings Plays' are great for short/intermediate/long term trading since the Institutions and Mutual Funds always pick up the 'street beaters' for their portfolios: Here is an excerpt from Friday, May 15,1998 Investor's Business Daily: AIM managment's equity funds buy stocks of firms with superior earnings growth... AIM's 21 portfolio managers and 12 analysts' seek companies whose earnings growth is accelerating at an "impressive" Rate compared with other firms. They believe positive earnings growth can occur anywhere, so they don't target specific industries. Aim focuses on the direction of reported earnings, [editor: street beaters] .....and sells when earnings growth decelerates or a company reports a particularly poor quarter. So, in essence our 'earnings plays' are good for the intermediate term as well. The reason they make consistant gains is that Institutions and Mutual Funds are purchasing in the days/weeks following the earnings report. At least until next report (3 months) is due.
