I have been at near max margin levels from December to about a week ago. finished rotating out of techs and 222% into oil mid February. I have more than tripled my NAV since December. Riding out of margin now, but NOT selling - the ride is just beginning. I expect a double from here on my holdings by next February. BTW, I agree with you, it's definitrly not for the faint of heart. Many sleepless nights, but I was absolutely sure I was doing the right thing. All the valuable posts on this thread about Asia recovery and economic turmoil in the producing countries helped.

From Doom & Gloom to The Skys the Limit What a difference six weeks can make.. With all the newcomers posting on this hallowed board, one can only speculate how many are monitoring the accumulated information, speculation and opinions available here. I have already been blasted on the YAHOO UFAB board because it hasn't climbed fast enough. Let's see from 6 1/4 on Feb 24th and 25th to 8 3/4 today. FORTY PERCENT in one month and the damn thing hasn't even warmed up yet. Not too shabby for a laggard. Go figure! What surprises many is not that the trend has changed; but, how fast it moves when pessimism is transformed into DEMAND. Apparently it has been forgotten just how fast the OSX dropped last year. From 120+ to the mid 40s in less than 5 months. investor.msn.com There will obviously be volatility on the trend up; but, this bull is young and full of steam. I think my Christmas forecast of 60 in 90 days and triple digits by the end of 1999 may have been modest. I now expect triple digits by the end of August. While the institutional favorites and the mid caps have led the way, I remain convinced the really big percentage gains will be with the small caps for those with stamina and the restraint to pass up modest profits to capture the elusive 3 and 4 baggers. I see FGI, GIFI & UFAB in the 30 to 45 range within six months. From individual bottoms to the ultimate tops, I still think the smallest of the three will post the biggest percentage gain; but, I shan't cry if I'm wrong. I'll be too busy shopping for my new boat. >VBG< It is a real blast to no longer be among a tiny minority. >lg< Let us all enjoy the voyage and be kind to each other. SargeK
