Jim Goodman's "The Right Side of the PSYCLE sm"
Stocks/Industry Groups Timing Newsletter, and Education service
issue # 71, dated: 10:00 am, P.S.T., Monday, Feb. 08, 1999

*** If you are a "NEWER" Subscriber, please take the time to read ALL of the "wordy" parts of the NL, once or twice, anyway....If you are an "OLDER" Subscriber, of course, feel free to SKIP, to those NL sections you wish to glean your info. from. (Save all my CUMULATIVE letters, for future reference/educational learning/help). If you are pressed for time, at least read Section (2) to develop a "feel" for our Sentiment patterns--- and Section (3) always, while taking the time to View individual stock CHARTS.... So much valuable info. in one place. Also, obviously, when "more, or fewer" longs, or puts, are given herein, that also tells us more about "the internals, and likely future direction of the market", yes ? And, please, neither expect ME to stay "super hot" nor "super cold" forever. NO emotion--- and do NOT "just extrapolate the most recent results forward, good or bad, forever" !!!

1) "PSYCLE SENSE sm":
New Thoughts: Although you know we NEVER try to "predict Indexes/Averages/the Market", here are my most Current "Market" Comments:

So far, so good.... tons of our Puttables falling, while plenty of our long-siders acting aok.... Again, you must diversify, even among "just puts", and not just "take a stab at one"....Not properly diversifying puts too much PSY-chological performance pressure on you, and me, right ?

This is important: this past weekend's chartbook, yielded the most "S.T. toppy chart stocks" I have seen since late July last year--- get it ? Hope so....It's all i could do to limit the amount of new potential Puttables herein....

Please appreciate, how much time/effort I put in, to put ALL applicable, staged, stocks, longs and puts, which fit learnable, and actionable, "PSYCLE sm" patterns, into each NL....Sometimes fewer, sometimes more....Whatever I find that best fits "PSYCLE sm" stages, which YOU can learn/take advantage of, for YOUR educational/trading benefit, I will put into each NL....again, the "Most Actionable, Do-able, stocks, Here/Now", are in Section (3). And note, the "learning/feeling/sentiment" items, are in section (2) and (8). Longer lists and I.G.'s, are in section (6) and (7)....and all follow-ups, are in sections (4) and (5). Very clear sections. You have No excuses for not taking advantage.

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

a) Important Industry Group (Rotation) notes: 1) note how the DJ Utilities index, stopped its predicted S.T. decline, around 290., as I told you it would, on the very day "the 95 %" "began to notice" its decline, dig ? ....2) in a recent item here I was specifically bullish S.T. on cash Silver, saying it looked much better than cash Gold....well, it rose from 5.10 to 5.65 so far....neat.... 3) I hope you can "see" how some Internet stocks given, are forming clearer "series of lower recent tops" on their chart patterns....

b) 1) as to the T-Bond: the key yield/price level to watch for, is whether or not the long bond yield gets over 5.42 %, the Nov. 1998 high yield of the saucer formed since last Fall....above 5.42 %, and/or below 124+ on the contract itself, would break the Bond, just FYI....on Fri. 5th, I think it closed at 5.34 % ....2) Fri. 5th, 8:30 am, actually had a decent-timing report by cnbc's Alan Chernov, saying that some money mgrs. he spoke with, spoke of a "shift" (rotation, get it ?), out of extended Techs, and into the depressed basic industries, like Copper, Steel, Alum, Forest, Chem., Cap. Goods, Farm, Energy, etc. stocks....they must be also getting my NL....

c) more incorrect/improper/misleading Media comments from "fundamentalists/ companies/mags", etc., vs. illogical/contrary stock prices moves, etc.: 1) A.P., 2/4, L.A. Times: "Smallest Stocks Showing Gains": the avg. micro-cap MF rose +3.8 % in January according to Lipper....Duh....exactly as I predicted, with the tax-selling bounces we have experienced....Micro-caps are smaller companies than those in the Russell 2000 index....The avg. micro-cap MF has under $ 50- 100 MM in assets.... and about 50 % of all micro-cap stocks are not covered by Wall St. analysts.... 2) Thu. 4th, CNBC had pres. of "INTU" on, glowing with "it will never go down"-type comments--- it has been on my Put list for a while as you know--- so, added its Puts, dig ? ....3) Fri., C.T. Unterburg, lowered our "CDRD", from a "strong buy" to just a "buy"....hmmmm....Let's see, to them, it was a strong buy at 38, but not a Put, as I gave you herein....then, at 24, it still remains a buy ? Do they HAVE a technical analyst there at that B-firm ? next.... 4) Fri. 5th, re: a rumor that NBC might buy 25 % of Lycos....way up here ? Where were they when it was much lower ? oy....also, L.A. Times, Sat. 6th, item titled, "Lycos stock soars amid talk of stake sale"....Lycos stock was up 7 1/2, to 137., or only 5.7 %....hardly "soaring", no ? More late, incorrect Media sensationalizing....

5) as an old successful "PSYCLE sm" put, then a successful EVB for us, last year, "SPLN", recently topped S.T. around $ 45-50....anyway, it was finally mentioned as a 'comer' by cnbc's O'Brien/Bauman, now, after it is already way up in stage 4, see it ? Gosh....where were they at $ 9-10, with us ? a little late, yes ? but, normal, for late, useless Media coverage, yes ? They all hated SPLN around 10. last year, saying their business concept would not even survive, remember ? ....6) our "CENT" got mentioned by Bauman/O'Brien on CNBC, Fri. aft., but I had already given it to you near recent lows, herein, BEFORE any news came out, yes ? BTW, the co. announced a loss for its last Q....but the stock rose, as I predicted....As I have taught you umpteen times, they are often two different things, right ? ....7) and, our "APCC" announced higher eps, beating estimates, yet its stock fell, due to its CHART pattern, see it ? cool.... 8) and, remember last week, when I mentioned here, how analysts loved De Vry, but we just missed its puts ? well, it is down now....the pattern never changes....

d) more, late, and/or misleading, Brokerage/NL writer/Analyst comments: 1) Fri. 5th, the McLellan Summation Index DID indeed fall below its zero line....NO big market rise has ever begun after such an occurance, since 1960 or so.... 2) I am beginning to hear that ridiculous "the economy is strong--- maybe too strong" crap from all over the place....possibly a catalyst for higher I.R.'s, S.T., as I predicted anyway.... Gee, first, they worry about "Asian/Brazil stuff" hurting our "growth", and now, some worry about 'too much growth' here....It's all pretty-much BS, and not of "D.A.F.P.P.V." related to stock price moves, yes ? Please re-read my "Scenarios" booklet, about why "reasons" and/or asking "why" never helps....As I taught you to watch for, there are always "cover stories" to supposedly "explain after the fact" all occurances in the markets....what is important are the PATTERNS and YOUR actions--- NOT any possible "reasons why".... 3) Sat. 6th, Motley Fools (well named, BTW, as they are WAY overrated, but massively $ backed from the start, by AOL and others), highlighted one of our Puttables, "SBUX" as a super-good company "balance sheet-wise"....calling their Fundamental analysis "cool beans" and "promising" (always with a forced pun, but rarely with truly valuable teaching items, but I digress), we'll go opposite the Fools on this one.. ..lets' see who ends up being right, and who taught others the most valuable lessons....

e) another top sign ? Doonesbury, the national cartoon, last week, had two strips, specifically sarcastic about daytrading and internet IPO's....get it ?

f) as if you didn't know already, our wonderful Govt.'s Feb. 1996 "Telecom" Law, supposed to enhance competition and lower prices to consumers, has had the opposite effect....what a shock....Since enactment, cable prices have actually jumped 21 % and long-distance rates are up 10 %....Gee, I wonder why....maybe megamergers, decreasing the number of companies in these industries, and therefore, fewer consumer choices ? coupled with the need to service the debt used to create those takeovers ? and, of course, that the Govt. rarely works well with anything....Gee, who could have seen that coming ? (sic) It's way past hoping for free markets all-around, though ours IS the best attempt, ever tried.

As you have seen the last several months, how well one does, just "doing" the best individual stocks, and Ind. Groups, technically/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 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....note: (Q = quick; i.e, was less than 2-3 months holding period ....VQ = very quick; i.e., was less than 3-4 weeks holding period)....and "VVQ" means it was held even shorter-term than that....

Also re-read "the Guide" for how I derive the estimated % percentage Gains I show herein, on assumed Hypothetically closed-out trades (always assumed to have been in Options, where applicable/suitable, and on margin where available/suitable/logical, and on a cash basis where not, as per "PSYCLE sm" tenets)....and "bal." in section (3), means, "the balance" of assumed long positions, assuming a "1/2 and 1/2 pos." sale....and, "css" means "covered previous short sale", where no puts options existed....

* Previously assumed Long positions most recently SOLD (showing the actual price changes, in parentheses, from the price where/when originally recommended herein, to the price where very rently Hypothetically "sold"):
Several more Puts Gains for you, and a few Longside: bal. puts SUT (48+ to 32-) for 200% Gain....puts CDRD (36 to 24) for 233% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. GYMB (6- to 10+) for Q 133% G....bal. puts D. (48 to 43+) for Q 100% G....puts PE (41+ to 36) for 100% G....puts HAE (23 to 18+) for Q 90% Gain....bal. 1/2 pos. puts CQ (38 to 32-) for 100% G....puts BRG (35+ to 28) for 111% G....puts SHX (23 to 19) for Q 80% G....bal. stk.on.mgn. GCO (5+ to 8-) for 80 % G....bal. stock CMO (3- to 6-) for 90% G....bal. stk.on.mgn. TFT (5+ to 7+) for 66% G.... stk.on.mgn. SRR (7++ to 10++) for Q 75% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. CDE (4+ to 6-) for 60% G....bal. puts PEG (40+ to 38) for 44% G....bal. puts PPL (28+ to 26-) for 66% G....stk.on.mgn. CS, for small G....

and longs, PDE, DMN, TMO, TRI., and puts, CSGS, BSYS, for VQ, very small losses, of little or no overall consequence to a properly diversified portfolio.

NOTE: while most of the $ 5 to $ 10. stocks are listed here as "stocks on margin" ("stk.on.mgn."), if one Had bought L.T., in-the-money calls options, their % Gains/Losses would have been multiplied, higher, right ? We just prefer not to buy Calls on most stocks under $ 10., unless their patterns are phenomenal, as their options premiums tend to be too high, vs. just buying those stocks on Margin, with close stops, where suitable, instead, with less risk, and similar reward potential--- stocks themselves have no "premium", right ? and, of course, if one just bought longs for cash, and not on margin, the % Gains/Losses would be relatively smaller, though still excellent, for such short holding periods, yes ? also, obviously, these have always been listed, from biggest % Gains, to smallest, then losses....

* Newly/Additionally BOUGHT/Buyables, right around/near these prices only:
(either for Cash, especially in Pensions, and/or on Margin where suitable, and/or Only L.T., in-the-money Options, where suitable/ available, always Diversifying, always with close Stops below/above recent lows/highs): (note: If you are New to this NL, here are the most recent "Buyables/Puttables", long/short) (note: a " - " after a price, means "just under" that price....and, a " + " means "just over" that price....i.e., 16+ means, 16 to 16 3/8, and, 56-, means, 55 5/8 to 56, etc.)....again, the idea is to "just get real close" to my listed prices here, when buying long/selling/putting issues given....try NOT to worry about every 1/8 or 1/16....

**** Newly BOUGHT Long-side, for potential Rises: (note, most are still pretty low-priceds, read thoroughly, some new "repeats" and "revisited" "new" ones again, here): each alphabetically by symbol: again, "just get real close" to suggested prices: (new ones) AGU @ 8 3/16, APAC @ 3 11/Q6, FWC @ 12, 1/2 pos. HXL @ 9.06, 1/2 pos. LWN @ 3 5/8, MIR @ 14-, PEN @ 2, VC @ 3....

(Note: Read again, carefully, for new, "re-added" repeats !!!) ADM @ 15+, ALLP @ 3.06, AZC @ 9/16, BAANF @ 9++, BGO @ 3/4, BIR @ 4 1/8, CAU @ 0.31, CBMI. @ 2 3/4, CCC @ 6.06, CCH @ 3/16, CFK @ 1 11/16, CSRE @ 3 1/2, CXI. @ 5/16, CYM @ 9++, EAR @ 5/8, ECO @ 1 11/16, FHS @ 9.06, FLC @ 6++, FLM @ 9-, GKI. @ 2 7/8, HP @ 17, HUG @ 25.06, IIR @ 3 1/2, IMG @ 5 3/4, INPR @ 5, ISCO @ 1 1/8, LSN @ 3 13/16, MKA @ 8+, MLP @ 9+, NGX @ 1/2, NOI. @ 10., PAM @ 3 5/8, PAR @ 7 1/8, PDS @ 10+, PKD @ 3.06, PMK @ 23, SAA @ 0.75, SSC @ 11/16, TOX @ 3/16, UPX @ 1 13/16, UTI. @ 6 13/16, VGZ @ 3/16, VTS @ 11++, WCCI. @ 11/16, WFT @ 17+, WS @ 1 13/16 ....most are still EVB's, bases, and/or low-priceds...."buy low", right ?

NOTE: as I teach in the "Green Guide" Booklet, and herein, countless times, you should already understand/know, that, often, there is NOT "just one day, or price" when my stocks become "long buys" or "long puts"....some stocks may hit around originally suggested prices, 2, 3, 4 times, etc., sometimes over a period of weeks, as they may form EVB's, double-bottoms and/or bases at times, right ? When/if they rise/fall in between those times, I will follow-up those moves, in section (4) and (5) anyway....this is a Positive, a Benefit, for you....Remember, I have subscribers who ARE already in stocks which have already moved before YOU may have just noticed them herein, dig ? And there ARE many subscribers who ARE viewing MANY of the charts of the stocks herein, first....and there ARE many subscribers who DO want "longer, more thorough, teaching" NL's/items from me....I give it all, for all your situational needs....

*** therefore, remember, all my given stocks REMAIN buyable/puttable, every time they hit originally suggested prices, unless/until they break their patterns ....even if weeks pass by !!! "Just get close", and do everything else properly: the stops, VIEWING the charts BEFORE acting, NOT forcing trades, NO emotion, etc., and, of course, LEARNING the stages/patterns of price, ind. group, and sentiment/media, patterns.

** Important: took, MRVC, SUPX, DDIM, FAX, MSX, TRP, XTO, CP, --- Off the pot. Long buys list, before they might have been Hypothetically "bt.".
Note, I try to give "something for every type of investing/trading desire/account/objective", including some real cheapies, some $ 5-10. stocks, some over $ 20. stocks, and some "names" blue chips --- either, for straight Cash, and/or on Margin, and/or L.T., in-the-money Options, etc., so that all my valued subscribers have Choices, and for proper Diversification --- all still having similar, exploitable patterns, in each NL.

**** Newly BOUGHT, long "PUTS" (or "short sales" if no puts), for potential Drops: alphabetically by symbol: (new ones) AIG @ 104, ALO @ 34++, AMCC @ 41+, AMFM @ 59, ATR @ 28++, CCRD @ 55, GLW @ 49-, GMSTF @ 66+, INTU @ 92+, KLAC @ 58, LAMR @ 41-, LRCX @ 38-, MEDI. @ 53+, MHP @ 113, MM @ 37, RNWK @ 71+, SCMM @ 79, TY @ 29-, TYC @ 77+, WCII. @ 43+....

(and, note, some "new" repeats again) AHAA @ 39+, AZO @ 34, BEL @ 60-, BSYS @ 54, CBRNA @ 59+, CCU @ 64, CEFT @ 40+, CMCSK @ 67+, CNMD @ 33-, ELNK @ 80-, ETEC @ 55-, GNSSF @ 35, GPSI. @ 48, GTSG @ 66, JBL @ 73, LLTC @ 102, MCD @ 80+, MPO @ 31++, UFPI. @ 20-, WPI. @ 58+, XEIKY @ 28, YUM @ 49+, ZD @ 20 ....

and/but, Took, NETS, AFL, Off pot. Puts list, before "put", as they aborted their patterns immediately (also see recent past issues taken off, here). IMPORTANT: sometimes, just in the few hours after I send this NL to the web site, a stock might break its S.T. umbrella top, or its depressed EVB/base pattern....And, of course, sometimes suggested stocks hit their "buy/put" levels in between NL's, in which case they are still added, as above....So I am assuming, you actually View their recent charts, BEFORE you consider buying any Longs or Puts, and you will see/know that the pattern is still O.K., and therefore buy/not buy them if their immediate patterns have aborted....this takes just seconds each to check/do, and will keep you from buying Puts/Calls on issues which abort budding patterns quickly after publication of my NL's, then incorrectly blaming me, when that is your doing.

*** and/but, among stocks recently given you herein, in sections (6) and (7) below, we "just Missed", ICIX, NEM, XTO, UPR, PBY, BTC, CNS, DOL, SDC, TSA, IGL, BHI., DO, DE, BD, OI., as Longs/Buys near very recent lows, and, MEDQ, SNPS, NLCS, LGTO, FLEX, ALTR, SEPR, NVLS, LSCC, MRIS, MCK, BMY, FNM, DY, PDX, PMS, STT, SBL, GTE, JEC, MTA, SCI., as Puts/Shorts, near recent highs....as one of the few honest guys in this biz, I will always tell you here, also when we "miss" actually catching suggested ideas, so you can "view/see" and LEARN their charts/patterns, for your educational benefit. Also, by viewing such charts, tells us whether the market itself is providing more bottoms/tops, at that time, right ? Another reason why it is important to consider ALL my output, each NL....Again, the idea is to Learn the "Patterns" of previously "given/done" ideas, for YOUR future benefit.

All previously mentioned ideas are Followed-up here below, for your Educational/Trading benefit ....check these lists/issues briefly, to see if any YOU own, or are considering owning, are mentioned....

4) Already given out in previous NL's, assumed Hypothetical "Long-side" positions:(issues moving since last time, worthy of following-up, and/or mentioning, because of recent price moves, still remaining long in most all of them, unless otherwise noted):

(* too late to buy up here, up already, and/but acting O.K., so stay in these for now):

**** note: ("sos") means "Sell On Strength" (on a bounce up towards resistance, and/or where it broke down from)....("S") means Sell it here (if still right at/near the listed price level).

still giving you nice risers (note, these have always been listed, in order, from the biggest % moves, to the smallest important most recent % price moves): read this, and the last list here, thoroughly....and check their charts to see the patterns:
MANU 10 5/8 up 2 5/8, TWA 7 5/8 up 1 1/2, FGI. 12 3/8 up 2 1/2, TFN 6 1/2 up 1, CBMI. 3 1/4 up 1/2, BS 9 1/8 up 1 3/8, LFB 12 1/8 up 1 7/8, SSN 4 3/4 up 5/8, CENT 18 1/4 up 3, AG 8 1/2 up 1, HPC 28 7/8 up 2 1/4, VRC 8 1/2 up 1/2, DBRSY 15 1/4, MIFGY 12 3/8, DSGIF 3 1/2, CBRL 23 1/2, GYMB 10 1/2, FWC 12 7/8, VLO 19 1/4, BDR 6 7/8, ULB 3, NOX 2 7/8, CMO 6 (S), PETC 8 3/4, TDW 22 5/8, GCO 8 1/8, up/further, since last time here....

also, note, DURA, CDE, BSC, SMI., ROP, GCO, NIN, SRR (S), rose to hit their 200 DMA, see it ? and, DBRSY, CMO, LFB, are approaching its 200 DMA....are you learning ? and, AIN 22 1/4, BOBJY 42, MDM 6 1/2, BA 37++, UNP 54, FDC 39, higher still (S)....and, we got another takeover, as MII. hit 36....all big Gains were specifically given you herein....also, PAH revalidated....note: please try to appreciate, that I have some subscribers who want "real quick and out" trades, and others, who want the "multi-month holds for bigger potential gains" trades....by VIEWING the "higher still" list above, you will hopefully learn better PERSPECTIVE in the overall chart patterns, and what can really be accomplished at times, if one lets them....another, of many reasons why we are so against "day-trading": why anyone would purposely limit one's potential, and purposely increase one's stress, and actually want to spend more time having to watch and process more things, on purpose, is beyond illogic. With my "PSYCLE sm", we trade less, hold positions longer, do not have to watch every minute, and have much less stress.

and/but, then, seeing Many pullbacks, PPP 11 3/8 up 1 1/8, FLC 7 3/8 up 3/4, TEN 31 1/2 up 1 3/4, MANU 9 1/2, CPU 12 3/4, GYMB 9 1/4, PAR 7 3/4, HSB, CFS, IIR, UPX, RON, ISSI., GLBL, NBTY, BIR, OFIS, PGO, ESV, HAL 31 1/4, KRY, NWAC, BEZ, WFT, TAROF, ELCO, IMG, ICI., HBI., IIR, NE, ESOL, MATK, BCP, SEW, CMND, RXSD, SAMC, CTI., TEN, ARG, SAA, MGN, MAH, WKGP, FNL, MCL, ATX/A, COE, PMK, LXR, BIR, CCC, SUL, BTC, SSC CCH, MT, and all Metals....some of these are also in "ms" list below....

again, please do not be afraid of buying the "Real Depressed Stocks", even in pension accounts, always diversifying, with close stops.... Again, you Must buy at least a FEW, minimum, at one time, to increase your chances of being in the bigger movers....Lesson: there is NO such thing as "but, Jim, which 1 or 2 are your favorites ?" It is impossible, and illogical, to expect anyone to be ble to choose just 1 or 2, out of 2,500 issues....maybe 5 to 10, long-siders, and also 5 to 10, put-siders, sometimes, but never just 1 or 2....One must also eliminate one's "PSY-chological need for excitement", and/or of "instant/S.T. gratification".


and/but, these already assumed Longs, are acting weaker S.T., and/or must strengthen, and/or must strengthen "again/anew", and/or must "break above recent high or else", and/or are sales on strength ("sos") to/towards/near resistance:


(note, some of these are also in "pb" list above) NETM 3 up 3/8, PAH 6 3/4 up 1 (sos), MATK 7 3/4 up 3/4, then 7, ADM 16-, HSB 36-, SAMC, ESOL, PETC, OFIS, VTS, HBI., RIG, TEN, MKA, VTS, AOI., MRII., LSN, MLP, LFB, SAA, CFK, SEW, HMY, GKI., MSN, GDC, NDE, HUG, WCCI., ULB, CDE, FLM, LFB,HUG, WORK, LXR, PMK, WKGP, MHR, PAR, MCL, IMG, WEL, SSC, SOC, TOX, PMK, IMO, CAU, FP, cheap golds, oil services

5) Already given out in previous NL's, assumed Hypothetically long "Puts" positions:

(issues moving since last time, worthy of following-up, still remaining long in these Puts, unless otherwise noted):
* may too late to "begin" to buy puts on these stocks now, but they are acting properly, stick around:

Puttables specifically given you herein, many which are Falling/further, please read list carefully: EBAY -23, NSOL -27, LLTC -13, APCC -11 1/2, +3 1/2, INTC -10, JBL -10, CDRD -9 (S), ATHM -9, CTXS -8 1/2, DCLK -13, ELNK -8, INTU -8, RNWK -7 1/2, SCMM -6, MSPG -11, AHAA -6 1/2, CCRD -6, TYC -6, SEEK -6, +3, -5, ASND -5 1/2, GNSSF -5 1/2, GTSG -6, QWST -4 1/2, COX -4 1/2, VOD -4, SLR -4, CMCSK -4, MOT -3 1/2,GE -3 1/2, RFMD -3, PLCM -3, CPQ -3, ELNK -3, +2, TFSM -2 1/2, BEL -2 1/2, CCU -2 1/2, DLTR -2 1/4, CEFT -2 3/4, ADBE -2, CTAS -2, TSAI. -3, CFR -2 1/2, SPW -3 1/2, AMFM -2 1/2, ETEC -2, KROG -2, AMCC -1 3/4, GPSI. -2, MPO -2, TYC -2, GAC -2, MFNX -2, LRCX -2, WCII. -2, RAD -2, GMSTF -1 1/2, BBBY -1 1/2, LAMR -1 1/2, ALO -1 3/4, GAC -1 1/2, CNMD -1 1/4, MEDI. -1 1/4, PROX -1, GNTX -1, SUT -1 1/2 (S), PE -1 1/4 (S), EXPD -1, CBRNA, CHTT -1 3/8, INHL -1, LAF -1, UNM -1, WPI. -1, LIN -1, IIN -1, MSBC, WABC, SNPS, SYKE, RSCR, MYG, SSP, WHC, FAM, VL, down further, just since last time here....also see 'bouncers' below....

*** See, how, MXWL, LGTO, TSAI., INSS, IDXX, HAE, SHX, HAN, TXU, D., fell right to their 200 DMA, see it ? and, CPQ fell to its 50 DMA....but DLX must break below its 200 DMA....I also see that "AMD", which they hated when I gave it to you herein around $ 15, then they loved it when I told you, in section (2) above, when around $ 30-32, it would go no higher, fell to $ 17-, Thu./Fri., when the overpaid/overrated analysts missed their estimates ....and they get paid for not knowing that ? and, a subscriber pointed out, that IBM has now fallen from 190, to 165 or so, though we got stopped out on its standing-island-breakout....

Note: these have always been listed, by "number of points falling", from most, to least...."(sow)" means, "Sell long puts On next Weakness, towards/near support"...."(S)" means sell/sold their long Puts right near here, and/or as in section (3) above....I follow-up every idea mentioned, for your benefit.... remember, these are NOT "overnite" trades, they take a little time to fulfill, so please have some patience, and no emotion, nor antsiness....let them do their thing. **** IMPORTANT, you MUST view the 200 DMA's of our Puttables, past and present, for their potential support targets/areas/prices....

* but, then, these, are acting too Strong, and/or are Bouncing, and/or must weaken anew, and/or are sales on pullbacks/weakness (sow):
(some new names here) GNET +7, -5, TLAB +4 1/2, -5, EFII. -2 1/2, VRSN +5, -3, -5, LCOS +6, -5, ZD +3, -2 1/2, SCMM +5, XMCM +4, QLGC -5, JBL +8, SBUX, MKL -3, +4, CTAS +2 1/2, XMCM +5 1/2, RFMD +5, INTC +8, JCOR -3, UFPI., MCD, SLR, SYY, SVU, BOBE, PROX, BMET, AMP -1, YUM +2, GDT -2, KLAC, CQ....remember, on some of these, I am just looking for follow-through, below recent lows....

Remember, we either buy our Puts right up near each stock's high, or not at all....but you can still view their charts, to "see" previously formed/worked/aborted "PSYCLE sm" patterns, to hopefully Learn from.

6) Now--- Here are Other, Fuller lists, of still-Depressed, Long Buys, near their recent Lows Only, for potential Rises towards resistance, always Diversified (w/close stops, when/if their basing or "EVB" patterns break down):
Be patient here, and do not "force" trades, or overtrade, just because, PSY-chologically, you "want" to have "something" to buy long....do NOT be "antsy", relax....let the patterns come to YOU....also, there may seem to be "a lot" of stocks to review here, especially in the next two sections here....but that says how cheap many stocks have been at times, right ? Of course, near the highs in March, and July, this list was much smaller, yes ? Also, remember, we do NOT "chase up"....only buy the ones You prefer to choose, which are still near their lows, with stops for protection.

"Potential Longs, by Industry Groups, for Rotation":
some decent bases here, and many decent EVB's and double-or-triple- bottoms, (but, again, Not when/if any of these make new lows here, and, NOT if they are already "up", much, off lows, right ?):
NOTE: obviously, given recent pops, has gotten more difficult to find "depresseds still right near their lows", so keep that in mind....we'll sometimes pay an eentsy bit more, but will NOT "pay up" much.

"Leisure/Entertainment": (besides, ELY, PIN, PRD, WCCI.), found several other real cheapies in the Mansfield charts, which I share below here.
Computer/Techs: please see Techs, listed, in the "watching" section, just below.
(Y2K) "Year 2000": (SAA, UBIX, CMND, Only near recent lows)
Prec.Metals (NGX, TVX, GLDR, CCH, VGZ, CAU, BGO, RYO, some real cheapies, riskier, most need more work/time)
"Basic Inds." (Chem., Farm, Steel, Copper) (BS, BIR, RTC, MAH, CYM, CSE, CCC, AGU, FNL, HPC, TEN, IGL, AG)
Energy/and Oil Svc. (WFT, PDS, HP, IIR, TDW, UTI., UMR, VRC, VTS, FLC, SDC, NE, near their recent lows, Only....also see sec. (3) above, and section just below here)
Biotech/Health/Medical (TAROF, COB, MATK, FHCC, CBMI., RXSD, NOV, GNSA, TOX, ULB, CCLR, ALLP, TOX, MPN, MT, TXB, HIV, LH)
Consumer/Retail/Apparel/Shoes (REV, NBTY, SRR, COO, PVH, HMY, KFI., MSN, UNO, BLM, HBI.)
Hotel/Gaming/REIT (HMT, MIR, ILX, PAM, HET, CIR, SER)
And, as I pointed out earlier here, some depressed R.E.I.T./Financials/ Mtg.-type/R.E., stocks, many with huge Insider Buying a while ago, some with very high "potential" dividends (more boring, though), may shape up ahead....watching, in no particular order, PAH, EOP, ICH, SMT, WIR, LTC, HOT, LSN, BD, PRT, SMT, WDN, RTC, ARI., NHR, BRE, AAC, ALF, AML, BNP, BOY, BRI., CPP, CRO, PMC, ENN, FBG, NDE, JPR, MAA, RFS, TMA, IMH, FP, MT, if you need some maybe's, on pullbacks only)

and/but, Important: also, took these Off the pot. long Buy list, Before they might have been Hypothetically "bt.": MRVC, SUPX, DDIM, FAX,TRP, MSX, CP, --- were taken Off....These/they just need more work, technically....we do NOT "Guess" at bottoms....we want only the EVB's, which set up properly....we MUST also see the cathartic/high volume, in "PSYCLE sm" stage 7", first.

* The stocks on this next list, are also, still, Current, or, Potential, "EVB's" ("exhaustion V bottoms"), read that Booklet !):
Remembering ONLY to buy near their recent Lows (do not "pay up" much off lows), as "EVB's", diversified, w/close stops....these, plus the stocks listed above, and the "Newly Boughts" in Section (3) above, comprise the "total" complete long-side buyable lists in today's market.

We are Also "Watching" --- as potential EVB's/bottoms, near recent lows ONLY: add, BD, BHI., BKI., CLF, DE, FCX, FLH, HL, HS, ISV, JCP, ORX, PKD, RML, SH, TPS, VTR, to, those listed in section (3), and those just above here, plus, "repeats" (alphabetically by symbol) ACE, ADGO, ADM, ALN, ALR, AOI., APAC, ARG, BAANF, BCF, BDR, BEV, BEZ, BGO, BMC, BSX, BTC, CBJ, CBRL, CENT, CFS, CLCDF, CNB, CNU, CPU, CXI., CYB, DETC, DMN, EAR, ECO, ELCO, ESV, FHS, FTS, FWC, GGC, GKI., GLBL, HCM, HDG, HMY, HLX, HXL, IAD, ILX, IMP, INPR, ISSI., JLG, LKI., LSN, LUB, LWN, MANU, MB, MGN, MKA, MLP, MPN, NAUT, NETM, NPSI., NWAC, OE, OI., OLGC, PEN, PGO, REV, SEW, SOC, SSM, SSN, SWK, TAM, TBI., TDP, TDW, TIE, TK, TSA, VLO, VTR, WKGP, WTT, VSNR, still, most all as "EVB's" (again, note, most are "Techs", with some "Finls., Foreign, Health")....some here, some Not just yet, as some still need more work, technically....and/but most, only on pullbacks towards lows.... and/but, not any of these, when/if they make new lows or break budding bases/patterns....don't "force" trades....

*** NEW: these are longer, tighter depressed bases, directly from longer-term, 2 1/2-year, "Mansfield" charts:
health, medical/pharm. (AIMM, ALLP, MRII., NPRO, TAROF, VMRX)
comp./tech./s'ware: (CSRE, GTSI., LSKIC, MIDI., OBJS, KTEC, PNCL)
leisure/entert.: (SHOW, FAIRE, ONST, WCCI., (all real risky/cheap)
capital goods: (DETC, DSGIF, FAVS, ISCO, JPEI.) (most are bigger companies)
Note, some of these have high $ cash/share, little or no debt, and/or earnings, for those of you who value those things....others are REAL cheapies/very risky....there are others I am checking, with similar patterns, will let you know....mind you, these are NOT "very-short-term" trades....but some subscribers wanted some longer, depressed basers, so here they are....just providing something for every need....

**** The potential Longs above are chosen, First, by their EVB, or "base" technical chart patterns, then, I do do a "little Fundamentals research" on each, to make sure they are viable companies, with no "hidden time bombs"....Last, on some of these, you are going to have to stretch your time-frame out a bit, this time around, as some of these may, like after the last few mini-crashes, take weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, to form any bases/EVB's, and/or rise, dig ?

7) other, still extended/potentially Toppy, "Puttables", near recent Highs Only, for potential Price Drops, using, Only, L.T., in-the-money Puts Only, Always Diversified, w/stops if patterns abort to the upside, for potential drops towards their 200 DMA's, or lower (NOTE: again, if they are already down appreciably from their highs, do NOT chase them down, right ?):
(re-read my "Downside/Puts" booklet) now, I add some more Puttables, again, after/into recent bounces:

Fuller, Potential Puts list, by Industry groups where practical, near their highs ONLY --- do NOT "chase down" much:
note: this list supercedes all previous ones....these are the ONLY Puttables here, all others have been removed....note Larger/Growing list !!! note, some may already be down somewhat, yes ?

Goods, Blue Chips, Consumer, Banks, Health/Medical/Drug/Biotech, Insurance, Finance, Computer, Internet, Aero./Def., Food/Bev., High-PE techs, and all Tele.-Commun., in no particular order, as the most probable Puttables, near their recent Highs ONLY, w/close stops above their patterns....also, note how we are revisiting some of our past Puttable stocks....the list Grows....

8) "PSYCLE sm" Lesson for today:

VIEW THE CHARTS....see THE 200 DMA....LEARN THE PATTERNS/STAGES

another quick reminder lesson: As I said in section (4) above, watch for some Oil Service stocks to actually form bottoms, ON "new lows"....as taught in my "BDG/EVB" booklet, and herein, a "saucer" formation, by nature, must have a "low" in its middle, yes ? One is just going to have to "guess" and/or take a shot/stab, at, one such stock down near recent lows, and hang on, with a close stop below recent low....step back, draw a shallow "saucer" under, say, the last several months price chart, and you will "see" the S.T. "PSYCLE sm" stage 1 pattern....Similarly, some extended stocks remained Puttable, allowing for "slight new highs" (we draw the upside-down saucer, right ?)....To "never" do Puts, is illogical, and potentially damaging....I thought the whole idea was to learn higher-reliability, exploitable patterns, then act on them, regardless of direction....Boy, Wall Street still has "the 95 %" snookered towards the only the longside, yes ? Good....that means, when correct on Puts, the very few acting, will make all the money on any declines....

I have been so busy, expending so much time/effort, researching, finding, and giving the ideas I do in each NL lately, I have not had time to give more "Lessons" here lately, nor to finish 3 more real valuable "Booklets"....Besides all the previous Lessons you have hopefully gleaned from all my past materials, NL's, ideas, and my (7) educational Booklets, I re-ran "the seven sequential stages of my "PSYCLE sm", from 12/7 NL, through the 12/28 NL....refer back to, and re-read, those section (8) lessons, any time....hope they helped....also take this time to VIEW charts from section (3) and (6)....

NOTE: just a quick reminder, that, as per the green "Guide", a stock herein may certainly be found, in 1, 2, 3, even 4, different sections of my NL at any given time....this is logical, and helpful for you....example: it may be in sec. (3) as a new buy at a certain price area, and, in sec. (4) if it has risen or fallen decently from the bought level, as I follow-up its movements for your benefit, and, still also in sec. (6) as a buy when/if it pulls back to its original suggested buy level....This is a GOOD thing for you, NOT a bad/confusing thing....A stock might have risen, from, say, $ 6 (sec. 3) , to $ 7 1/4 (sec. 4 follow-up), then is pulling back again (sec. 4, next paragraph), and, when/if it pulls back towards $ 6 again,. without breaking its original pattern, is remains a buy (sec. 6)....GOT THAT ? Finding such ideas among the "repeats" in sec. 3, ilisutrates this helpful item....It is very simple, as I have said umpteen times: all suggested stocks remain actionable when/if they remain/return to original prices, in the future, provided their original chart pattern is still intact.... period.

Plus, as you have seen among "repeats" in sec. 3, often, a stock WILL sometimes return to its original actionable price levels, and some will end up "revalidating" after initial slight breaks of patterns, which is also of little consequence, since your transaction costs are so low, and you have eliminated all emotions from the process, you can always get back in, at those times, yes ? (plus, as I taught you, we give a bit more 'leeway' at the special year-end period, employing a bit less strict/tight stops, right ?)

Remember, the time length of the full trip from stage 1 through 7, can be one year, or ten years, or 100 years, depending on one's desired perspective....A stock can be in one stage S.T., and another stage L.T. Now, one cannot have "everything", that is, we try not to turn a S.T. position into a L.T. position, and we never even try for "potential 10-baggers over several years".... One must decide beforehand, whether one expects a S.T. trade or a L.T. investment....But at least knowing the normal, usual characteristics of each sequential stage, puts us way ahead of "the 95 %". I use 1-year and 2-year charts, period, because we seek 1-2-3-month patterns, holds, and moves, and NOT overnite, nor daily nor intraweek moves.

Remember, WE tend to ONLY trade long, from stage 1, into stage 2, with stops, and often miss potential stage 3 rises....and we try to Only get Puts at what we think might be a stage 4 top, with stops, and often miss stage 6 and 7 drops, but more on that later....The highest-reliability, reward/risk plays, are in stage 1 and 4, even with occasional stops triggered.

IMPORTANT: people keep trying to "formula-ize/computerize" my "PSYCLE sm" process, which, as I keep saying, is a fruitless waste of your valuable time...."just get close(r)", and do everything else correctly....The KEY is just plain learning the simple VISUAL chart patterns for each of the 7 sequential stages in my "logo chart" on my webpage and on the front of every Booklet, then adding the "sentiment" nuances of each stage.

As Repeated in Every NL:
As I keep reiterating, It is also still better most times, to, 1) buy "some" stage 1 "PSYCLE sm" stocks, in depressed or EVB chart patterns, when their "news seems so bad" but their patterns show EVB's (and have occasional, small, cut losses), than to never do that at all....Because, historically, and as you have seen herein, any small, cut losses, will be more than overcome by larger % Gains, over time, off those EVB lows, when one properly Diversifies....and, to, 2) TRY at least "some" "Puts/options" the opposite way, near their Highs only, when/where suitable, than to never do any Puts ever....always diversifying properly, with close stops....no emotion.

Remember, "PSYCLE sm" stocks tend to move much more INDEPENDENTLY of any/all "external" stuff, than "the 95 %" incorrectly believe....one does Not "need" "events" to happen, in order to exploit normal, probable stock price moves.... this is a Good thing....One Key is to have the strength to Buy, when there is a "scary story", provided the stock pattern is intact....Connectedly, realize, by nature, there is SUPPOSED to be no "sexiness" in stocks/groups, near their lows, in bases, nor EVB's....they only become "sexy", After they rise a bunch, right ? and, by then, it is/will be too late....One must buy into NON-sexiness, into NON-positiveness, into "fear", when the patterns are intact, right ? Also, buying PUTS options "the Psycle Way", can be viewed as just plain intelligent/ logical, and proper, as just "insurance" or "protection", as well as for direct profit at times, yes ? The March '98 tops, and July '98 tops, and drops, have proven that yet again.

I also assume you have read the "Significant Disclaimers" paragraph, under my main webpage logo....I cannot infer that my future performance will always match my excellent, real, actual past track records, as each person will, obviously, have differing experiences with my output, and/or do/not do various things, properly/improperly, etc. Thanks for understanding. It is also assumed that you actually "VIEW" 1-and-2-year past Charts of stocks, with their 200 DMA's, BEFORE you "do" anything for real, and that you are aware of their recent highs/lows, for stops price levels, and past/future resistance/support. I am also assuming you have learned to eliminate the potentially hindering emotional "stuff" from the decision-making/stock-choosing side of your brain....
