jerry,
so you like those poles???
i think the best way to play them is the high poles in a "bearish" market--where the indicators are all negative--and be ready to play the low poles when the indicators reverse--but i have limited experience-
was hoping to get confirmation from bruce-jan tom d--etc????
one curious thing to me is that tom d in his morning commentsnever mentions high poles-low poles--(that i recall)--are they not that important?????
have a whole list of stocks to look at when they reverse back up so that the stop points on the puts are tighter

stuart

all the nets have had low poles big time...it seems to me that all the indexs are at critical levels...and any rally, not confirmed with P&F reversals will be shorted in my camp

I find this thread getting much too Bearish. Look at the Bullish Percent Charts for both %10 and Hi/Low. Both at or under 30. The last few times this occurred, with both under 30, was April'97, June'98 and Sep'98, all excellent short-term buying opportunities.

Tip O'Neill is famous for stating that, "All politics is local."

Put another way,"All market timing is short-term."

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH JJJJJJJJJJ,
Of course! CMGI and RMBS at the top of the list. LU has held up really well (it actually led CSCO in the decline and then based first). I have some work to do to figure out what else to look at.
XXXXXXxx

EDIT: See that others like LU too.
