You do alot of reseach and filtering to provide trade candidates that can offer a high probablity of success, and so do I. But whether or not the trade is successful for the individual trader depends primarily on their nimbleness, acuity in reading the market/stock, and their risk management skills ... all factors that have nothing to do with what we post. Let me give an example. Some days ago I posted about DD ... Message 5489413 I post things in advance so readers can pick entry/exit and overall strategy according to what works for them, or discount the trade possibility in total. Now if someone entered DD at 54-55 and the furiousness of the market selloff took it further down to 52ish and they got stopped out ... was DD a bad choice?? Now again, if someone bought DD at 54-55 held it down and rode it back up to 59ish in a positional trade ... was DD a good choice?? I don't bottomfish, and normally wait for the stock to pivot up ... 54-55 would be my pivot for the ride up on DD. And I don't give a fig whether people think DD was a good choice or not. It's a matter of how one handles the trade. Yes, it is easy to criticize and hard to find workable trades in a shakey market. Do notice that those who criticize are seldom the ones who contribute, and those who contribute seldom criticize. It's a fact of life at SI.

Hi Jenna I'm back from the "real" wars!!!<g>... Interesting week huh??? As I told IKe early this week, the semis & semi equips were NOT a good play...I mentioned to some friends that AMAT was a great short... I do not think this selloff is over...I thought the rally would be stronger 100-200 more points...that bothered me somewhat...but actually the "war" move is noise anyway...so we should fly upward to my near term target 8800-8900....a 50% retracement from the lows or down from the highs<GGG>... Anyway I just wanted to say to everyone who lives here, in my 25-30 years of actively trading these markets, rarely have I encountered anyone remotely as good as Jenna, or for that matter Miss Judy.... The incredible amount of work & research & knowledge that goes into each and every post is truly remarkable to me...yes, even me!!!!...:>} Girls onward and upward, keep forging ahead...2X4's & bricks, that'll get their attention.... Later

Jenna, My take is.....since a majority of stocks have already been gutted 30% from highs, I feel the market will rebound very soon and strongly. The remaining 20% my guess, will continue to bring the broader market down. So my view is an aggressive 50+% investment at this time is appropriate. Without a doubt the most beaten down quality stocks now will be the big winners for '98/'99 season. I admit I have been ignoring my charts and buying anyway. ???? Jeff
