Jan- Thanks for your telecom picks. Looks like I'm only one of many who appreciate your pick posts. In addition to the telecom sector, which other sectors do you think will soon be rotated into, and of course, which ones will the dough be moved out of? As you know, I like the biotech sector, and Bruce pointed out that the retail sector may be attractive. My own non-P&F TA just highlighted the energy sector, and some of the charts (like NE and VRC) look similar to what you have previously called "powderkegs". The problem is that RS is deep in O's and I don't see how these stocks can give more than a fizzle in response to the conclusion of tax loss selling. Quick movie review: "Step Mom" is worth seeing. Even my wife got tears in her eyes (usually I'm the only one with crocodile tears). "Bug's Life" is, well, if you saw "Antz" you just saw it again. pg
