This is one of the few TREND ID models in Indigo Online. It makes LONG
trades only. Although the last several years have not beat buy/hold,
this model provided downside protection and made PROFITS in 1990, 1995
and 1996 when BBY was down for the year.
Wait for the next trade in this model, as the current position has a big
PROFIT and the price is well above Indigo's entry price. A very good
model to catch the long-term moves in a winning stock !!!

Letter from Customer after 2nd week:>2/2/99>Dear Bryan:
> I enjoyed our conversation last week. Except for today's decline, I
was up $6586 trading Indigo from 1/20/99-1/29/99. I haven't calculated
today's losses yet, so it probably won't be as good after today's
decline. Nevertheless I remain optimistic about trading Indigo,
especially since I am looking forward to your hot new telecom portfolio.
Please send it to me asap, with what ever other portfolios you think may
help me reach my goal of multimillionaire status. Your bottle of
champagne will not be forgotten! Thanks again. JDL, M.D.
