Z- DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I didn't buy at 0.016, but it did catch my attention on my overall portfolio graph. As in "Why am I missing 3G's?" (She was good but not THAT good!)

Glad to see the turd moved in the toilet today. To be honest MOBL is my only dawg right now. Not concerned...just want my money back....

(just kidding

)

Just bought some Goodrich (GR). I like the looks of the aircraft industry recovery in 05, and also the defense industry. I sold some Boeing because of the chart pattern, but may buy it back. Also looking at Honeywell.....

Is this thread a 'blog?

More humor:

I went to library last night and got some books (you don't say

):

1) One on how to scrimp and save as a family has a chapter of investments. I swear one point says: X."By low, sell high". Well, technically I guess it is pretty good advice....

2) Another book on proper investing published in 2000, advised as one of the top stocks to buy, and buy heavily was Lucent. It was pushing $80 at the time. Money magazine was the "author" and publisher. Something tells me they aren't bragging about that one in their magazine....

80% of the "experts" don't beat the market over a 5 year time span. Most of the 20% that do won't beat it the next 5 years.

I agree, but I'm not sure about your figures (source or dead reckoning?)

Some "experts" do OK, but most experts are so busy trying to beat the other experts, they never stick with even their own rules....and it kills them in the end.

The more this thread blogs on the more I move away from straight mutual funds. I have some closed end oddities (selects) to capture certain slices from time to time (example: GLD, FXI,EHI, GCS, LBF) and a some 10-12 "normal" funds - but I swear if I had more time.....well maybe I would just into trouble and not beat the average....

Mostly from squinting hard while reading a few authors. I believe Bogle, Malkiel and Berstein have all alluded to the difficulty of beating the market and how few do it.

I don't remember who actually said 80%.

I can pick who beat the market over the previous several years (1), I also know I can't predict who will beat it in the future.

(1) Not as easy as it sounds, reporting is often slanted to make the stock market astrolger look better than he was.

screwed up big time on SYNA...fundametally sound...but right after I bought.....whammo next after hours they announce they will take on some dept.crap, stock dives..........

TheLoneRanger · Dec 1, 2004

It's almost time for the market to close, and I am taking a very large bite out of the Bear's haunches today!

It seems like the last trading day of the month is nearly always down, and the first day is nearly always up. I've seen this happen time and time again. I think it's because of portfolio managers balancing their (end-of-month) positions, or something......

Pablo · Dec 1, 2004

Yes LR I should be happy because all and all I'm cranking today....just hate it when I mention a stock here and it tanks. (someone might come and shoot my arse)

Pablo · Dec 1, 2004

Looked to me like the SYNA down tick was WAY overreaction. I bought some more on the dip. I just don't abide by that rule........hey it's not MY rule!

You gotta love these breakouts!!!

This market is looking pretty healthy. We have a fairly long trend up under way. Take that with a grain of salt since its my interpretations of various chart patterns. We should take out 11000 on the DJIA within this trend, 10750 needs to get hurdled first and will be the challenge.

AMD owners have to love the 100% gain in a few months. INTC is up about 30%. CMGI needs to take out 1.62 with conviction and it will be off to the races.

Amkeer · Dec 2, 2004

Its at a critical point just scanning the daily quick. I would definitely have a sell point in mind just in case it further breaks down just to be safe. You may want to scale out depending on your time frame etc....

Pablo · Dec 3, 2004

So Amkeer, what you are saying that, just like my wife's chili, I should have an exit strategy?

I'm watching it.
