And VASO is finally climbing out of the toilet!
Z - congrats, you beat the experts!
I actually was wrong in my calcs. I had grabbed my March 04 statement (don't ask) Jan 1 2004 - today = +4.8%!!!! I had a killer Jan and Feb and forgot all about it. (VASO went over $2 and I sold a ton, I sold Merck, Pfizer and Disney...)
Amkeer - how does the low volume fit in equation?

I agree on the indecision of the last 6+ months. And the charts go where they go, I just think the volume portends the scope of either the bloodbath or +
VASO really is popping. No news that I know of....no inside scoop as a major shareholder.
Yes well the charts were good to my a$$-ettes today!!!
I sold another 10,000 shares of VASO today (a good thing), then when it popped up some more I went to sell 5000 more and suddenly my account says I don't have the shares to sell. I'm friggin' pist. I call Fidelity, connect with a trading specialist and get put one hold, for him to find the answer!!!! 15 minutes later I hung up!!!
I like a lot of things about Fidelity and for a megacompany they have been great to me for the most part, they treat me nice, give me the lowest big trader rates....but about once a year I have a trading glitch!!!

Got a lady trader to help me (it's been years since I traded on the phone) Wow - she was great....sold ALL my VASO today, plus just waiting the share prices went up.
She 'splained the glitch to me too.

The strange thing I wasn't keeping my eye on ASE!
I will sell ASE in the AM....
Amkeer oh great Wizard - what do the charts say about the lagard lazy NASDAQ? QQQ and ONEQ?

P,
Thanks!
As for January....it was indeed a very good month. I should've sold all my LU shares then and re-buy them a few weeks ago. Seems to me that's exactly your strategy......stick with the stocks you know......sell 'em high.....buy 'em low! It's a learning process.
Wow...it seems intuitively interesting that NASDAQ composites are "overbought". I think QQQ was launched (or should that be "lunched"
) in 2001. It's basically been down since.........now when you study some history, you can see how lofty the NASDAQ was in the late 1990's.
Z - please, I am no one to emulate. Sure I study history charts, and I do OK (slow and steady by acting fast...). I don't always stick with stocks I know. Quite honestly I learn of decent companies/funds in: IBD, Barron's, WSJ, Businessweek, the web, funds reports (no joke - I have seen some good picks owned by good funds...quite surprising actually).....I even bought LU and turned it because of you guys.
But my major weakness? I practice early withdrawal contraception. Not very pleasurable when..........the stock goes up 5 the day after you pulled out!!!!

To finish my thought (I was interrupted by driving to work) - my weakness is really missing profit potential....
Z - I guess, but I have some ethics...maybe that is my problem. I get burned when I get greedy, so I sell when I'm up...up enough...
Not bragging or anything but scroll up and check the list of companies I posted (on Monday, no?). Tell me you couldn't have sold them at a profit later in the same week? ASE was the star but the others did OK. The only one I haven't sold is IWZ, but that really was a longer position ETF (Russell 3000 growth)
The only reason I didn't lose my a$$ 2000-2002; largely cash positions and lots of bonds. But my equity funds took a hit, but the Fidelity fund I had/have held their own. Of note: The Fidelity S&P fund announced (on Tues) they will lower the fees to always be less than Vanguard 500!!!
