NICE GAINS

[Rod]

I was 100% S on Tuesday. As you all know, that was a pretty good day. I am now pulling back 100% G for the short term effective Thursday.

I'd hate to lose those gains so quickly. I'll probably go 30%C 60%S 10%I in a few days- locking into my long term strategy.

God Bless:^

This really sux.:P Stocks are losing too much, and no relief is in sight.

I'm hiding in G until further notice.

Hey, Rod, you should start a "Rod's Account" and "Rod's Account Talk" so we can follow your moves.

Yes, I agree, the Market's prolonged menses are getting aggravating.

So if you were to answer a market sentiment poll today you would say you are....

Bullish? Bearish? Neither?

I never mean to pick on anyone and I am not defending my bad (understatement) timing, but capitulation (surrender) happens when you finally say "I can't take the pain anymore. Get me outat any cost!" I talked about it briefly in today's comments.

We must be getting close because I can feel the pain too. I should have jumped out when I wasn't feeling the pain. :( Do what makes you comfortable but I don't think now is the time to bail. That's when you get whipsawed.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you've been fully invested all this time (like I have) now is not the time to get out. If you have been out all this time (envy) you can sit and wait for a sign of a bottom. Fear and panic are good signs. :)

With the uncertainty of the dollar I would overweight the S fund and use C and I based on your risk tolerance (i.e.: more I fund = more risk)

Good signs. Intel is up over 1% today, Motorola is up 4%. Microsoft, Dell, Oralce etc. are all up. Tech showing some life in this misery.

Well, earlier todayI did get back into stocks. I figured that maybe I'll be able to gain a couple more shares since the NASDAQis at itslowest since Oct 03 is it???

It fluctuates too much for me.;)
