Hi Dave, Amazing how the energy sector is coming back. Here's two different ways of looking at the same stock:

Santa Fe Energy (SFR); last 70 days
techstocks.com

SFR Last 50 weeks
techstocks.com

Short term this has been a dream, doubling in the last couple of months. Looking back a year, however, it was painful. AIM did serious buying during the "valley" and is now slowly shedding inventory as prices rise. I'll have to post my own history at the AIM site soon.

Best regards, Tom

Hi Dave,
What a wild close to the day! I guess when we have a DOW 30 stock and the top of the NASDAQ talking together, it means ACTION!!

I didn't get this week's report finished today. However, everyone will be relieved to know that the Idiot Wave didn't budge this week. Still 47% for stocks and 31% cash for mutual funds. Oscillator is still minus one.

I managed to sell off about 7% of the energy fund VGENX last Friday. That brought the Cash Reserve for that account right up to where it belongs. My SFR account has been pennies away from its next sell for about 5 days. Maybe tomorrow.

Hope all is well,
Tom

Hi Dave -

Here's a link that you and Tom might find interesting. Quicken.com looks to be a pretty good site. They also report on insider trading.
Lots of ELAN insiders sold in 1998. Last trade listed was in Feb. of '99.

quicken.com

Yesterday I asked my local Pharmacist if he had ever heard of ELAN. It wasn't on the top of his head and he was much more interested in what happened to Pfizer after yesterday's fun and games. I ran right home and checked the chart for several years. For someone who wants to buy and hold, PFE looks pretty good. It is down to it's 200-day moving average and, in the last few years, hasn't gone much lower. As far as I can see, the worst part of the chart was in 1998 when it was essentially level for several months.

Anyway, I thought you might be interested in this article (5/4/99) and the rest of the data at Quicken.com.
