1) "PSYCLE SENSE sm": new:
More of the same, as tons of previously-depressed Techs rising, some running into initial resistance targets, 'took' TONS of Q, Large % Gains for you lately, herein, and, some Puttables remain, but still smaller lists all-around....obviously, the Long Buys list has shrunk, of course due to all the Q, L % Gains given previously....and, hence, 'took' tons more Quick, Large % Gains, mostly longside, in section (3) below....note predicted-by-me-only pop in 'the Russell 2000' as a catch-up I.G.R. move (re-read my booklet).... neat....

Interesting, some people I respect actually correctly surmised, echoing my expressed expectation, that "early in 2001 a ton of pension plans will be having tons of $ they must invest soon, should be a real bullish development..." , yet, NONE of them got into my stocks near lows in Dec. or Jan. so far....weird, huh....As you have been taught it is Always better to be IN, with stops, diversified, agtressively, especially around tax-selling time, than not, even if incorrect on some....

Of interest, 1/14 L.A.T. chart of "investors future expectational returns for the upcoming 12 mos." showed their expectations at + 11.8 % recently near lows, down from +18.5 % expected annual returns at the 1/00 top in Techs, get it ? perfect PSYCLE-sentiment signal to Put back then (which we did herein), and buy long at recent lows (which we did herein), yes ? the pattern rarely changes ....Then, finally, Wed., again only after nice rises they did not predict but I did, CNBC 9 am, 1/17, showed continued strength WITHIN the markets, A/D line-wise ....gee, maybe they have been reading my NL....not.

But, again, please watch how more and more stocks approach their initial upside targets here for at least 1/2-position or all pos. sales in section (3) below....ALL must strengthen further....and most all are at least 1/2 position sales up here, dig ? and pullbacks in the early Tech. rally-leaders would not be unexpected, but more, quite normal, soon, if not already, dig ? If better bases them form thereafter, that may lead to much higher levels down the road, which I hear NO one else intimating, ay ? Note the expected reversal of fortune among I.G. rotation, with Techs having risen, and "names" correcting....

while, as you know, we eschew most all fundamentals the way the 95% view them, it seems everyone else is already factoring in an additional Fed move to lower I.R.'s further soon, get it ? ahhh, to see some S.T. disappointment soon, ay ? and, once again, kudos to us, for also giving out a decent number of Puts Gains, simultaneously, yes ? Never ignore the Put-side, as taught....

always try to also VIEW charts of the ones we 'just miss' to learn the patterns even further, as they were also given herein specifically as well, yes ? more proof of "PSYCLE sm" power/value....

2) "What's Been Said, and What I've Read":

a) Important Industry Group (Rotation) notes:
1) as i was, as usual, among the very first/few to give Retails out near lows (also, JCP, LTD, JWN, etc.), CNBC's J. Kernan, Tue. 11:25, finally noticed our KM, already up from 4.81 to 7.81 quickly - I told you at $ 5, it was a potential takover....but, of course, could not get anyone to listen to me....so what else is new, ay ? ....2) as RAL gets taken over (and, amazingly ineptly, both Prud. and Goldman, S., only Tue., raised their ratings on it - late/high, as usual, dig ?), note rise in the other Food stocks only I was first, as usual, to give out near lows herein for you....CKR, DLM, (most others were given a while ago, from 1999 lows herein, and were 'sold' after big rises, like, MO, RJR, etc.), could PB, FLO, be next ? ....3) with the continuing late panning of Internet stocks, at lows only, as you have been taught, I am particularly proud of certainly being the first/only to have given out YHOO right at lows for you herein....

4) also note, with OPEC now cutting production by 5 % supposedly, that our Energy stocks remain NOT attractive, as expected....of course, the gal-reporter, Wed. 8:53, actually MIS-led, saying, "OPEC cuts production....Oil stocks fall as a result...." Uh, excuse me ? since when does A lead to that B ? not.... 5) let me, again, be the first/only to give out the 'linux' stocksnear recent lows for another likely profitable bounce for you, as I have done twice-previously herein (and, of course, I also gave them out as Puts near parabolic highs, recall).... 6) and, while it may not SEEM germain, headline L.A.T. 1/15, "marilyn manson's Moon is on the Wane", is another correct-by-me-only0-near-its-top prediction I made herein a while ago -namely, that not only will his/her terrible 'music' fade in interest and popularity, more 'negative crap' in music will fade somewhat in growth, because people will get tired (my "PSYCLE sm" stage 5 or 6, yes ?) of it, and will be concentrating more on making a living, with the Recession on....my concept applies to most everything, as you have seen over the years....

7) Thu. 8:30 CNBC's B. PIsani, mentioning on how the Oils/Service stocks continue weak S.T. (as only I predicted first herein, as usual), said, "this is funny, since they are all going to be repoorting spectacular earnings results".... the pattern rarely changes....more proof of my concepts....so what else is new.... 8) again, late, L.A.T. 1/17, headline, "Gold continues to languish as prices hit a 15-month Low", again, proves why Gold stocks are TRADES, and NOT, super-holds', as I alone have correctly surmised the last few years at least....wonder why all the almost-always-wrong gold bugs had not figured continuing gold sales by central banks....the srticle cites lower demand for jewelry, and, that gld had fallen even with a rise in Euro. currency (also preedicted only/first herein by me), in their-continual attempts at 'linking'....don't get me started....that said, I still kinda like some of the cheapies (which are holding up, with cash Gold lower, dig ?), and PDG on a pb only....

9) as CNBC reported at the close Thu., "the "Semis had their best day since early Jan. today", recall who was the first to give them out herein from lows, learn the patterns....

b) more, misleading, sensationalized, Late, and/or improper/incorrect comments from the Financial Media, Reporters, etc.:
1) all day Tue., CNBC incorrectly kept badmouthing the Utils., and at 11 am, saying, "the DJ. Util. Avg. continues down, at 339....", when, in fact, it was UP from 335 intraday low.... 2) reporting (late, as usual, S.T.) on the "Fuel-Cell stocks, trying to 'create a story' (re-read my Media booklet), CNBC, Tue. 11 am, showed several stocks up big % -- but - as usual, this was/is totally misleading, since THEY, and all of Wall St., LOVED these at their easily-seen-by-us, and given-herein-as-shorts in parabolic tops, last year, and they remain way, way down from there....not shown by CNBC, of course.... amazing ....here is also more learning-proof that, THEY 'linked' these stocks to the 'energy crunch', last year, right ? but, as with ALL previous parabolic I.G.'s, 'if' their incorrect assumptions were/are correct, then how come their stocks got killed thereafter ? get it ? the pattern rarely changes....

3) as usual, L.A.T. 1/14 Tom (insert negative term here) Petruno, headline, column, "if history is any guide, its time to lower your sights for future stock returns", comes, as usual, after a big drop in Techs he did not predict (but I did), and after already-occured big % quick rises, which he also did not predict (but I did), and, while he doers correctly point out previous times when 'the experts' were wrong (bearish after 1987, 1990, 1994, and 1998 drops, all of which I bought after, recall), his article, again, comes out AFTER mighthave been a bit useful....his other headline, "it may be at last, time to heed warnings", is amazinlg ywrong - it was the eact time to get INTO the depr. Techs., not 'diversify out of them' recently, yes ? geez.... 4) and shame on National Geographic, for their new trying-to-super-scare grabber, "watch our program tonite, for a story about a new threat to our world, invading our homes, a deadly menace, where nothing and no one is safe....Snakes...." Yeah, right....geez, guys....you should be ashamed of yourselves....remember, as you have been taught, even the supposedly 'world-ruining weather' the last several years, did NOT affect stocks at all, terribly, right ? oy.

5) finally, 1/17, L.A.T. article with chart on KM, titled, "dismal decade for KM", as usual, only published after stock up +75 % S.T., after a guy bought 6 % of their stocks, as i was among the very first to suggest herein at $ 5....next....

c) more incorrect/misleading/sensationalized, and/or improper comments, from Fundamentalists/Companies, newspapers/magazines, etc., vs. illogical/Contrary/Unlinkable, past/present/future economic items, and/or stock price moves:
1) Tue. 10:30, CNBC's Phil Lebeau panned MCD down here....where were they at its top ? oh yeah, loving it, remember, when I alone added it herein as a Put back then ? the pattern rarely changes.... 2) once again, we see the fundamentalists and the Media wron,g and me, right: Wed., BA announced, according to Bill Griffeth, 9:20, and BA's pres., "fantastic results....beat the street by a mile....stupendous productivity gains...." Gee, guys, as only I predicted herein, BA's STOCK (two diff. things, right ?), has FALLEN from 70 given out here as S.T. put, to, 58, recently....NO "links" ! ....3) also exctly as I was first to predict herein from economic high, recent headline in 1/14 L.A.T., "Japan's current account budget surplus falls, fuels concern for their recovery".....'nothing more I need to say, ay ?

4) and, a germain off-market-subject example of my cconcept in action, Irvine, Ca. is having a special class on "football for women" - now, only AFTER all-but-one-game is left, get it ? late, useless, as usual, get it ? where were they BEFORE the long season ? oh, yeah, I forgot, NO one else EVER does much of ANYTHING 'before the trend begins.... 5) shame on them all: recent L.A.T. front-page, article about scvhool dsitricts credit ratings negatively affected by having too much stock in EIX (don't get me started), of course, they don't mention 'no stops', 'no buying near lows only', etc. I say, tough toenails....they could have hired me, and still can, but....

d) more, likely late, incorrect, and/or misleading, comments, from Brokerage firms, NL writers, Analysts, economists, Money Managers, etc.:
1) while, as you know, we ONLY buy depressed, Jay Ritter of Morningstar, on Multex, Wed., actually asked (his prediction, dig ?), "is the party over for optical networker stocks ?", which is interesting, since, JDSU, GLW, SDLI, NT, LU, A, SCMR, NUFO, NEWP, ALA, CIEN, AVNX, most of which, while not cheap, ARE already down, dig ? the pattern rarely changes.... 2) finally, as usual only after a big drop predicted by me, never by them, a ton of B-firms lowered their opinions on XLNX....next.... 3) did not get name of analyst who now loves Energy stocks, on CNBC, Thu. 8:50, loving TMBR, OEI, MND up here.... he said "we are in just the first third of a 7-year cycle, like in the 1970's", which is weird, since, in fact, all the Energy stocks had been rising big-time from 1994 to 1998, until recent only expected-by-us corrections....so it has almost been 7 years already, dig ? ....4) and more pans for the plethora of B-firms only lowering their opinions on MACR, and GTW, like all the others I have mentione dherein lately, only after big expected-by-me, not protected by them, price drops....next....oh, as you know, I was first/only to give GTW out at recent lows, already a 1/2-pos., gain in it for you herein....

5) Fri. 8:20, on CNBC, a Credit Suisse analyst whose L.T.T.R. we were never told of, as usual, mentioned how many $ mgrs. have already missed the recent pops especially in Techs, "now find themselves again behind the averages"....to which, I say, so what else is new.....but, the implication, as I suggested (since I have been among the very few to catch recent pops from lows herein for you), is another rise, after pullbacks, after they rush to get in after initial rises, as usual, dig ? the pattern rarely changes....

e) more general items proving why one should probably ignore 95 % of everything else out there:
1) and, regarding the So. Cal. Elec. crisis, my inside soruce says, there IS still electricity avail. around, and/but, EIX 'has' to declare series of 'stage 3 alerts', here, because, only then, can they turn on previously-off generating plants (interesting, if those plants have as avail. existed all along, how come NO one lets anyone know that ? don't get me started) and get more electricity to around here, which is why we have had no big blackouts yet....but, eventually, this will wear thin, and become 'the boy that cried wolf' at some point, and THEN, for sure, expect some rolling, non-preannounced, blackouts....see, they gotta scare people big-time, to force solutions, as our wonderful Govt. (not) finally moves on this, dig ? I have said from the beginning, years ago, raise rates 10% twice overthe next year, build more plants, and re-add nuclear....as usual, I have the answers, but no say....and, of course, 'politics sucks'....

2) thank God, a sharp 'elec. power' guy on CNBC was interviewed Wed. 8;35, finally mentioned the viability of Nuclear, my favoprite forever.... 3) and, finally, exactly as I was, again, the first to have predicted from recent top, headline, L.A.T. 1/14, "stores report post-holiday scooter/Razor sales are hitting the skids".....plus, more stories about their lack of safety, etc., people will NEVER learn the stages, will they ? As usual, after the top, as with all fads, watch for mfrs. to try in vain to re-create the buzz, then fade away.... 4) an amazing story, so replete with non-yogic stuff it made me ill, headline, 1/14 L.A.T., "Hopes for a dot-com career land in court", about a couple who says they dropped everything in two seconds for a promised no-risk high-paying job in Silicon Valley, trying to actually SUE their supposed employer after he changed his mind and did not hire them....the article says, 'expect more of these lawsuits'.... so a career is a 'right', now, ay ? don't get me started....human nature NEVER changes....this is another in a line of damning signals of the non-yogic nature of people....and their ignorance of cycles, etc.5) 1/14 L.A.T. headline, "Murder defendant, age 13, claims he was imitating pro TV wrestlers", exactly as I have been teaching....don't get me started, but, I have always known that super-violence and stupidity on TV, DOES indeed negatively affect the majority of kids, never mind adults....they have many wrong morals and values systems....the first amendment does NOT allow for damaging nasty crap and hurting others....

So, as you have seen, for years now, how well one does, often, just "doing" the best 'individual' stocks, and rotating Ind. Groups, chart-technically, and sentiment-wise, mostly long-side, while ignoring, or going contrary to, 95 % of all Media messages, and "indexes/averages" comments, from the peanut gallery ? By just getting my output, alone, you do much better, and save time, by not having to even try to "seek, and process" tons of other, useless fundamental info., anyway....and we also help remove potential emotional problems for you, before they begin....

3) Most recent Hypothetical "PSYCLE sm" transactions, to be mimicked, and referred back to:

Always remember to view "1-year-at-least past" charts of everything you can view, herein, along with their 200 day moving averages (DMA's), to "see/learn" the "PSYCLE patterns", and see where/when stocks in section (3) were Hypothetically bought near lows, and put near highs....all % percentage 'Gains' are just logical ESTIMATES for L.T., ITM options, where exist, and/or on Margin, where no options exist....
