>>.but don't tell that to the Major Corpoations, that are growing & expanding and earning big dollars year after year... << I thought earnings growth was about as bad as it's ever been. Have you been hearing differently? Thanks Andy

Nevermind the Amazons and Yahoo's, EXODUS having major breakout today, new darling of the web infrastructure stocks.

Options Jerry, I have to admit that I did pick up some YHOO -- to short before the pre-split high, and managed to make a few bucks on the big downmove after that. As for owning stocks, I own PLENTY. Twenty seven different companies at last count. It's quite a job keeping track of the "home port", what with selling calls and keeping track of losers, winners, which to sell, which to buy more of, etc, etc. And then their is my LEAP put portfolio, which I think could be the next bunch to take good profits on within 10 months. But the world does not have to come to an end to cut the excessive gross fat off the high flying Dow, OEX, and NDX stocks. You'll see. Earnings expectations are under pressure, and many of the "internut" stocks will never make any money worth writing home about, and will come crashing back down to earth. People will have to wake up to these facts sooner than you probably think. Yogi

OJ you gotta question why you should trust your money to a system that ONLY rallies on BAD news. This is a system that requires shorts to be sacrificed to the Wall-of-Worry god. As you've mentioned, not many people had success playing the downside, now there are far fewer shorts to prop it up. OK for pretty much two years, the score is shorts 0, Wall-of-Worry 2500, Number-of-Stocks-in-Market 10. Just feel we're getting close to where all the money bought the last dip, and there's nothing left to squeeze out of us ;) I'd find it fitting to use the gambler's money in the bloated generals to change leadership. Most "investors" left them long ago. marketgauge.com regards, Tom PS Death's right, Bad Smells, Foul Odors <g>
