Okay, I signed up at TI already. You know me, I'm always looking for picks. I got into DELL today, but not the other one. I didn't chase it. Lurkyloo

Market: This has been a good week for a break. I have toned down my trading ways this past week, and I am glad that I have. I did trade DRIV about 6 times or so as I feel very comfortable with its movements. As you know, I am a big fan of keeping a few issues around that you know well, for days such as these. Everyone I spoke to this past week thought we would be in rally mode for a majority of the week, and it just has not transpired. We did close strong today, but enough so I believe, to create much buying confidence tomorrow. Interest rates cause uncertaintly and the market is very uncertain. The 30-year is now at a 6 month high without much reason to reverse itself. This may be the time to start looking at some good gold plays such as NEM and ABX. My favorite banking stocks, C & CMB continue to impress and well they should. Clockwork environmental trading. Just like in a recession you buy the straight-line demand items such as food stocks, in a rising interest rate environment, you must look at gold and banking stocks. I sold off everything this week, at least everything of note, and decided to pick up DELL for an indefinite hold here through the split. Techs have been beat up and although you can make a case for DELL being over valued still, many analysts have been make that case of the past 2 years. They simply know what they are doing and how to do it, there earnings will slow to a pace that is considered only tremendous from outrageous .... projected to be at 32%. They drive the NAS and will lead it to further prosperity or participate in its free fall..... I am personally banking on a nice steady rise beginning within the next 6 weeks. I am betting on DELL. This hold will also allow me some time to focus back on this thread and my work at TigerInvestor.com (TI). Identifying those beaten down issues and those ready to shine again, if only for a couple days. But as traders, we only need a couple days. Let the market come to you, take a break, and wait for the stocks that you like most....there is no hurry. Trade well. Tj

Inets: From the fire? - As many of you may know, one of my favorite strategies is to play the unfolding story stock (i.e. NAVR, IMON, KLOC, etc). the one recently, will also beat down those same issues, leaving them forgotten ...... temporarily. Another one of my strategies that I am very fond of is just for occassions like today...or more accurately, the last two weeks. We all know that hype and rumor move the issues that we watch, in fact, we count on it. But just as the hype and rumor can send the value of a microcap to that of a small cap or larger, a sell off like Many of these issues will come back strong when the sidelined money again comes into the market. Some of these issues are set for amazing gains while offering very little downside on a relative risk/reward basis. Let me mention just a few of the issues from the past few weeks that I would not be surprised to see yield 100% or more in a very short period of time should the right conditions present itself. Most of these names you should recognize and I encourage you to give them a fair look: BKS - Still in the doldrums from its recent earnings cut and downgrade. Very safe bet IMO. SATH - A very aggressive PR company, that is on the warpath, it won't take much to move them back to 20s and above. IMON - They still have a following and like SATH, the right PR release will send them spiking to 10 in a heartbeat. JBOH - You can count on another Inet Brokerage run, and the cheapest issues will make for the best quick trades. NAVR - News is out, people are tired of waiting, and the stock price is suffering because of it. I still feel that this is money of the table for the patient investor, but it may take an iron stomach to realize its full potential. There is little holding this stock above $12. I don't feel it has enough investor support here....until they firm up the NetRadio IPO. For the patient trader however, you should find yourself looking back at 13 as a true bargain. But beware of the boredom factor, people are tired of waiting. Now I am not saying to run out and purchase these issues as all but one, BKS, have wickedly bad fundamentals, earnings and prospects ..... but take a look at most relative big winners of late and notice that most, have a second day in the sun. I feel it may be getting very close to the time where we should be getting out the tanning oil. Trade well. Tj

TJ Tigerinvestor I noticed about a week ago that you had become a "Staff Writer" on TI. Good luck I will be reading--- and, perhaps participating. I guess I have pretty much reduced mtself to a lurker on this thread. Continue to read the posts, though. But, in support of your statement I would love to see it get back to where it was in january. Regards and luck to all. Len
