Drillers upgraded this morning. I'm looking to buy some TMAR since it hasn't participated........ yet. Other than that, I don't have a clue.

The thread is here for everyone; I am always glad to see it continues when I am off the air. Software is good for now so overweighting isn't bad - as long as you can outguess when it turns down again. IACO - I was in and out for a point. Have to reconsider soon whether to get in again. I want to see if it can hold over 5. I wasn't expecting a move over 5 that quickly. IFSX off to a strong start.

Nope. Just glad to see Dale back. And REALLY glad to be able to participate in a sane, well-informed forum where differences of opinion are respected. In contrast, I offer BXM's Yahoo board. It used to be one of the better ones with individuals discussing the meidcal and financial aspects of the company in a freindly fashion. A couple of supposedly disgruntled ex-employess have taken over, insu lting anyone who speaks positively of the co. and slandering management. Sad. Jim PS Dal;e, I looked at some of the so-called day trader/shaort term trader SI boards. So far, what I see are pretty much penny stocck forums and not very consistent--unlike this one. Gives me even more of an appreciation of the service you have provided.

and... unless Dale is perpetrating one of the more elaborate hoaxes on the net, is genuinely a nice guy with whom I'd be honored to call a friend. Now, enough buttering up. Market looks ugly this am. for tech stocks. A lot of lambs being sheared. Good cos. going down with the bad. Should be some good opportunities when the dust settles Not widely reported, but Business Week (BTW my fav. financial weekly--doesn't seem to have a political bias--skewers right AND libs as it deems worthy) also had good writeups on a number of growth co's (buried in the HAUP hoopla--and yes, Dale, I'm an addicted alliteration adherent) .(gg) One highlighted co. esp. is one of few doing well so far today--FGI. It's one of those for which my trading style lately did not catch. I've been placing my bets on the flashy hares rather than the steadily performing tortoise. It's been working as long as I know that I'd better not try to ride too long, but I miss out on the steady performers like FGI. I've watched FGI since single digits after I noticed that its earnings and rev growth continued unabated during the oil price slump. Its price was hit with all oil services, apparantly unfairly. It's quietly doubled in approx. 2 mo and looks to be a strong co. with a great CEO. I commend this weeks Bus Week issue to anyone looking for other growth ideas. Jim
