so the dow tested the high again only to fall back on a huge wave of program sells in the futures looking over charts tonights tells me nothing repeat, nothing so a good time to sit back, take it slow, see how things develop over the nest few days made a penny or two today ONSL was nice shorted NSOL, got out with a 3 point profit, was scared to death doing it; why do I play those? made a bit on the low priced oil service stocks added to TIE but may sell in the am got out of PSUN at 17; solid gain; buying back in slow as it falls back in AAPL for possible news from Mac WOrld; a bit red on it at the close did nothing on ASHW, no sells, no buys a slow but green day; not bad and the ground here is bare albeit it a bit icy so the year started off ok

Ron and Larry, I thought, the idea was to each have a fake $100k portfolio. I can't find Larry's post to me, but I believe he mentioned that I would be taking money away from someone else by buying the whole thing. Are we all sharing the $100k ? If so, I apologize, didn't mean to be oink, oink, grin ... Ron, the only thing I would purchase right now is XYLN. Let's buy it at around 1:00 p.m.EST tomorrow Jan 5, 1998. I don't like to buy at the open and during the day am mostly at work. XYLN not even on my original list but that is what happens when someone dangles short-term in front of me.... :) I have played XYLN and FORE for years. They seem ready for a comeback, no deep TA or fundamentals, strictly guts and range- trading. thanks ! anna
