Jaime ; You just goofed u should never disagree me . <G> BTW I don't know how long you been tracking me, but did you know that I called the Top Last July & beside myself, I only know of one other person on SI that made that call, Mine was on the 16th IN front of the curve, I also called the bottom Sept 4th, and I stuck with it that dip in OCT was minor and did not effect or hurt my Sept 4th longs. Message 5214259 You may be good pal, but don't forget I'm an expert, if you don't believe taht just ask me <G> Jim

Hi Jamie; Well I was talking sort of tongue in cheek, particularly the expert part. Heck even Buffet said he should have gone to the movies last year for all the good he did, I think there is a danger in being an expert, or thinking you have found one. Worse of all, are when you really think you is one. <G> Lots of the times the system I use wont make a call , it'l be to mixed, when it does give a signal it's not always right, however that often depends on how strong a signal. We could very well bounce today ( that's a toss up ) but unless it's a real strong bounce we will get more down side. I don't feel up to buying the dip right at this point as I can't get in/out fast enough to not stump my big toe. ----------------------- BTW I did a quick look; the NDX had about 18 down days during that time frame ( & gave back over 500 pts of it's total gains ) But it's run up was the most impressive I ever saw for any index except the internuts and is the reason why I jumped on this QQQ thingy. The raw internuts are just too volatile for me. ------------------------- If we bounce today I think a story will be told as to how near the top we close. Jim
