**** I will hopefully, finally be on KWHY-tv, L.A., ch. 22 (gotten by cable, and even on old UHF !), again, this coming Friday, the 26th, from about 1:05 pm, pst, to about 1:30 pm....Watch it, and/or Tape it if you wish....Of course, I really needed to have him fulfill his promise to have me on in Dec., when I could have shown tons of "tax-selling bouncers" near their bottoms, then again, in Jan., when I called the S.T. top in Internets, etc., but, at this point, I'll take whatever opportunity I can get, to share great stuff with their viewers....problem is, few "clear", current examples exist to illustrate my concepts, and they squeeze me on how many charts I can show, putting much undue pressure on my presentation....what a shame....and I thought they seeked getting record responses and call-ins, as they get when I appear....but such is life....I just hope they will tell me which camera to look at....as if a TV station would ever aid an invited guest properly....

Also, if you have not already expressed your interest in getting online valuable live "sessions/lessons" from me, as I "do it", through/on your computer screen, please let me know still....just e-mail me with your positive interest and constructive thoughts....thanks....

*** My semi-partner has established a good Free website, for charts, some technicals, company info., etc., where you can also 'screen' for certain characteristics, etc....check it out, and please be sure to tell them I referred you there: www.stocktables.com , enjoy....but know that their "rankings' are hugely different from mine, so do your own "PSYCLE sm"-type technical chart viewing/research....he uses stock (don't get me started), but you still have free access to charts, fundamentals, etc. Once you "screen" for your desired choices, click on the stock symbols to get charts, other places to get fundamentals....

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:

Though I found/ added still more Puttables, and more long Buys, in sec. (7) and (6) below, again illustrating the continuing "split" market, much of the extremely recent corrections among extended stocks, ended last week, as I suggested....That I found more depresseds to buy, said, Sunday, we may well get yet another oversold rally, short-term....Actually, the percentage of bulls fell, and bears rose, too much, too fast, and we "need" a failing rally among extendeds, to further the topping process....makes sense ? Think of a letter "M" chart pattern forming among some extendeds, with last week's lows as the middle of the "M", if this helps visualize....also imagine some upside-down "V" formations, turning INTO an "M", dig ? (side-by-side-upside-down V's)....the bottom of the "M" representing their necklines of recent drops, which have, so far held all-around....

So, we are getting tons of bounces again, among extended stocks, off oversold V.S.T. bottoms/support....but not tons of new highs, yet, right ? So, given that you already know at least something about the patterns, when/if stocks in sec. (7) below, rise to their previously toppy levels without breaking out, between today and my next NL, Thur., I am assuming you will know what to do....and, when/if they break out, you will see it....all I can do is give you the seemingly best potential "puttables", and hope you learn how, and catch some, and cut losses, and avoid emotional ties, etc. Watch for some S.T. double-tops this week....and, note I also added more Long-side issues, in possible "catch-up" pops, as taught in my "Ind. Group Rotation" booklet....

Last, as to Longs from sec. (6) below, take a few minutes to try to view a different bunch every day, instead of trying to view all of them at once....there is no excuse for you not have viewed the charts of every single stock in sec. (6) or (7), over time, especially since many have BEEN on the lists for weeks already !!!

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) again, we added those Oil Services which did not break....some are indeed holding at halfway between the top and the bottom of their base, see it ? ....2) finally, Fri. after the close, KWHY-tv began to notice the "gaming" stocks are higher.... late, as usual, in the "PSYCLE sm" pattern, yes ? Like I said, they do not read my NL....I gave you MIR, CIR, HLT, HET, herein, near their lows.... 3) also note, how the DJ Utility Avg. has risen, from the 285 to 289 area, to 297 recently, oversold bounce, as expected .

b) 1) another local Home in the area where I "time" my tops and bottoms, showed a "reduced" price sign last weekend, as the "double-top-at-best" in res. R.E. here continues to unfold.... 2) as predicted, beginning to see some takeovers among Energies...."gas trans." companies so far....watch for more, over time....

c) more incorrect/improper/misleading Media comments from "fundamentalists/ companies/mags", etc., vs. illogical/contrary/unlinked stock prices moves, etc.: 1) another article in recent WSJ, regarding how many "corporate stock buybacks" have not only NOT occured in reality as announced (re-read my item on this historical fact in an earlier NL here), those that did occur, have NOT automatically led to higher stock prices for those issues....again, proving my "no direct links" concept.....his other angle, as I teach also, was that buybacks, when they fulfill (which is not often, as I told you), are often not the best use of corporate money, anyway....

d) more, late, and/or misleading, Brokerage/NL writer/Analyst comments: 1) crude oil itself rose 60 cents, Thu., and more, Mon. 22nd, as some Oil Svc. stocks bottom....still, I am not upset with real small cut losses therein, because we still caught others .... 2) cnbc, Mon. 15th, 9:30 am, a story on how many stocks are splitting, and the guy actually said, "stocks that have a history of splitting do so much better than others...." HUH ??? excuse me, but wouldn't the "so much better" performance be, and have been, in buying those stocks WHEN THEY WERE MUCH, MUCH LOWER, before ANY splits ??? His statement is a fallacy, and misleading and incorrect.... 3) hey, we got an analyst who agrees, 2/10, at SoundView, who raised PSFT from a "hold' to a "buy" at 19., recently....his 12-month target is 27.... 4) and while we're on the subject, why is it that every analyst has a 12-month target, and/but, not a 6-month target, or a "should rise/fall to such-and-such a resistance/support level" target ? and, what if it rises or falls to their price earleier ? are we alerted what to do then ? and, last, how come one NEVER hears them also include a stop-loss protection price, up front ? re-read my "Media" and "Scenarios" booklets....

5) a great moment in "analyst" history ? Fri. 5th, an analyst was quoted as saying that ATT, down from 95 to 88 (as if it were cheap, up from 35 not too long ago, dig ?), that it is "a gift from God, giving the public another chance to buy this great stock"....an actual quote, gang....he also said, "this is truly a healthy consolidation".....famous last words, both ? ....6) Viewing 2,5000 individual charts this past weekend, I was again struck, by the HUGE number of Insider Buys, a while ago, in TONS of stocks, as I pointed out here to you, which are currently still very much "under water", which proves, once again, my special finding that "insider" transactions, in and of themselves, are of nowhere nearly "D.A.F.P.P.V." as "the 95 %" misbelieve.... i.e., "just some insider buys or sells alone" are of little or NO help, timing-wise, WITHOUT the correct/proper "PSYCLE sm" staged chart pattern !!! Re-read my "Scenarios" and "Media" booklets.... 6) Gruntal's J. Battataglia, said, Mon. 22nd, "DELL is cheap here" ....hmmmm, stock rises from $ 2. to 110., only pulls back to 80. or so....cheap ? not with 60 PE, 80 X book value....See its 200 DMA and support around 65-70 ? we shall see....

e) real good, long articles in the L.A. Times, Sun. 21st, you should read, regarding "day traders", and "minute trading" (my term)....besides obvious proofs and that very few are doing well at it (what a shock, huh), the message is exactly as I teach: much of the general lack of consistent success is due to impatience, ignorance, greed, emotional and psychological stuff, failure to cut losses, lack of pattern recognition, and unrealistic expectations and demands, etc. The statement that struck me most, was the writers' obvservation that it all seemed to him like just a bunch of adults playing video games with real money....No need for me to go on regarding this subject....but NOWHERE in any of these articles are "price stops" or "preset price targets" or "pattern recognition" or "industry group rotation" or "puts" mentioned....They operate more on emotional need, vs. learning what might be better/best to do....'nuff said.

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"):
1/2 pos. calls MIR (14 to 20-) for Q 150% Gain....puts SNPS (60 to 46+) for VQ 100% Gain....bal. puts INTU (94 to 76) for Q 111% G....puts CTXS (93 to 75) for VQ 100% G....1/2 pos. puts QWST (63 to 51) for VQ 100% G....bal. puts WPI. (58- to 49+) for Q 85% G....bal. puts MYG (65- to 56+) for Q 75% G.... puts NXLK (46- to 36+) for Q 111% G....bal. puts SPW (70 to 59+) for 90% G....bal. puts ORCL (60- to 50-) for VVQ 90% G....puts GNSS (34 to 25) for VQ 111% G....puts TROW (37 to 30+) for 100% G....puts PROX (30 to 23+) for Q 90% G....puts RAD (50 to 42+) for VQ 90% G....bal. puts ADBE (48+ to 41+) for Q 90% G....bal. puts MOT (72 to 64) for VVQ 90% G....bal. puts EFII. (40+ to 33+) for Q 90% G....puts MM (38+ to 33+) for Q % G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. DBRSY (12+ to 16+) for 60% G.... bal. puts SVU (28+ to 24) for 75% G ....

and/but, longs, ALLP, PKD, MKA, MT, HL, and puts, FTEN, AMGN, MEDI., UFPI., MWD, KSU, CMB, for VQ, very small losses, of little 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 any 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 said 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 "transactions" 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) ALN @ 5-, BBA @ 3 13/16, BCF @ 13+, BDR @ 6.06, CFK @ 1 9/16, CNJ @ 16+, CP @ 19-, CYB @ 4 1/8, FWC @ 12, HDG @ 1 3/16, HPH @ 7++, IAD @ 14 ++, IDTC @ 12+, JLG @ 14+, 1/2 pos. NEM @ 17+, PAH @ 5, RML @ 19 1/8, WND @ 6-,

(Read again, carefully, for New, "re-added" repeats) ADM @ 15+, AGU @ 8.06, APAC @ 3 9/16, ARG @ 8+, AZC @ 9/16, BEZ @ 19+, BGO @ 3/4, BIR @ 4 1/8, BLM @ 2.06, CAU @ 0.31, CCH @ 3/16, CLCDF @ 9/16, CPU @ 10++, CXI. @ 5/16, DSGIF @ 3.06, EAR @ 5/8, ECO @ 1 11/16, ELY @ 10+, ESV @ 8 7/8, FLS @ 16, GKI. @ 2 7/8, GLBL @ 5 9/16, HLX @ 4 3/8, HMY @ 6.06, IMG @ 5 1/2, INPR @ 5-, ISV @ 1 5/16, MGN @ 2+, MLP @ 9+, NE @ 12+, NGX @ 1/2, NOV @ 2.06, OFIS @ 5+, PAM @ 3 9/16, PAR @ 7 1/8, PSFT @ 18-, RDC @ 8++, REF @ 6++, RYO @ 0.28, RXSD @ 13-, SAA @ 0.75, SEW @ 3 13/16, SSC @ 11/16, SYC @ 12+, TBP @ 5+, TOX @ 3/16, TPS @ 13/16, UBIX @ 5-, UMR @ 11/16, VGZ @ 3/16, WCCI. @ 3/4, WEL @ 2.06....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, WEB, FCX, CBJ, OE, --- 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) AFL @ 49+, ALSI. @ 68, ARMHY @ 101, AVP @ 44-, CSN @ 20+, IMNX @ 142+, NEO @ 18+, NTRS @ 88+, TECH @ 25, TR @ 46-,

(and, note, some "new" repeats again) CNCX @ 50-, CSGS @ 80-, ESRX @ 72, GEOC @ 39+, GLW @ 49+, GMST @ 66+, HLI. @ 58, LIN @ 39+, LLTC @ 104, LRCX @ 38+, OK @ 45+, PBI. @ 68+, TYC @ 79, UMG @ 56-....note how some of these popped back up, allowing us to catch them, then fell again, yes ?

and/but, Took, UIHIA, MUSE, COST, ISSX, LOW, KBL, HDI., GTE, USW, 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, or 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 part of the process is your own doing.

*** and/but, among stocks recently given you herein, in sections (6) and (7) below, we "just Missed", NAUT, ALR, CSE, CWC, NHR, PRD, SSM, VTA, FTL, CFS, SCY, as Longs/Buys near very recent lows, and, ESPRY, NEON, RTN/A, NLCS, MFNX, DDDF, DNEX, BMY, PKS, COX, TER, GNE, FDS, CM, 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 some 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:
ELCO 2 3/4 up 1 1/4, ALN 5 3/4 up 1, PAH 5 7/8 up 7/8, HET 18 7/8 up 2 7/8 (sos), FLH 9 1/4 up 1 1/2, IDTC 13 7/8 up 1 3/4, PSFT 19 1/2 up 1 3/4, REF 7 3/8 up 3/4, UNO 8 3/8 up 3/4, MIR 20 up 2 (sos), BHI. 18 3/4 up 1, RML 20 1/4 up 1 3/8, WLM 10 1/4, DRC 32 5/8 up 1 3/8, up/further, since last time here....and, NIN 20+, higher still....

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 "intra/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, MGN 2 7/8 up 7/8, NPRO 2 1/4 up 1/2, BLM 2 1/2 up 1/2, AOI. 3 1/4 up 5/8, TFN 6 1/8 up 3/4, COE 5 1/4 up 1/2, RTC 5 3/8 up 3/8, GYMB 10 1/4 up 1, NPSI. 13 7/8 up 1 1/4, NDE 10 7/8 up 5/8, GGC 15 5/8 up 7/8, CENT 16 7/8 up 1, BHI. 17 1/2, ELY 11 1/8, HAL, MCL, UBIX, PAR, CBMI., NPRO, HAL, MANU, CPU, CFS, UMR, UPX, CCLR, TFN, ISSI., GLBL, CYM, ISCO, ESV, KRY, WFT, TAROF, IMG, ICI., SEW, SAMC, ARG, SAA, WKGP, FNL, PMK, LXR, SUL, SSC, WLM, CCH, BS, Oil Service, 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....obviously, any stock near its lows, or close to breaking "must strengthen" or else, yes ?) MANU, RXSD, CMND, ESOL, OFIS, PSFT, NWAC, UBIX, APAC, HMY, ESV, ADM, HDG, HAL, SAMC, HBI., AOI., MRII., SAA, SEW, GKI., MSN, TPS, TBP, MKA, UPX, GDC, NDE, CPU, LFB, LXR, WEL, WKGP, PAR, MCL, WEL, SSC, SOC, TOX, CAU, WS, 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, so please read list carefully: IMNX -12, ARMHY -5, TAGS -4, ESRX -4, GTSG -3, ANF -2 3/4, RATL -2 1/2, CTAS -2, CVS -2 3/8, NEO -2 1/4, GMH -1 1/2, AVP -1 3/8, MTA -1 1/4, LLTC -1, RX -1 1/2, RAD -1 1/2 (S), AMFM -1, PLXS -1 1/4, ZLC -1, TYC -1, AFL -1, CBRNA -1 1/2, PSIX, PERC, NXLK (S), CNCX, SYKE, MTA, ART, BJ, down/further, just since last time here....also, see, how, DNEX, NLCS, DDDF, MFNX, QTRN, PSSI., VISX, TNL, LAF, DV, given you here near their highs, fell/further anyway....also see 'bouncers' below....

and, RMBS, SNPS, RESM, ADBE, TROW, RAD, fell to their 200 DMA, and NXLK fell to its 50 DMA, and, CBRNA, ZLC, GAC, are approaching its 200 DMA, and, PMCS approached its 50 DMA....

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) many, many bounces: LLTC +6, VISX +6, -7, EMC +6, ETEC +5, ADLAC +6, LLTC +5, COX +5, -3, LVLT +3, VRSN +4 1/2, PMCS +3, ESRX +6, -1 1/2, NSCP +3, CMVT -3, GEOC +2, GDT +2, CCU -2, MHK + 1 1/2, BEL -1 1/2, +1 1/2, ANSR +2, -1, MM +1 1/2, -1 1/2 (S), JCOR -2, GTSG + 1 1/2, TAGS +1, AVP +1, RX +1, BOBJY, NVLS, AOL +12, JBL, MHK, CYMI., TYC, RNWK +2 1/2, XMCM, CTAS, LRCX, QWST, TLAB, ADCT, GAC, VOD, GGO, DLX, QLGC, SLVN, CNMD, XLNX, ALO, TCOMA, MSBC, XEIKY, GLW, LIN, GPSI., ZD, SYY, TYC, FAM, PBI., IIN, OK, NT....remember, on some of these, I am just looking for follow-through, to fall 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 some 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": (ZITL, SAA, UBIX, CMND, Only near recent lows)
Prec.Metals (NGX, TVX, GLDR, CCH, VGZ, CAU, BGO, RYO, KRY, some real cheapies, riskier, most need more work/time)
"Basic Inds." (Chem., Farm, Steel, Copper) (WLM, BS, BIR, RTC, CYM, CSE, AGU, FNL, AGR, IGL, AG)
Energy/and Oil Svc. (UMR, VRC, BHI., ESV, RDC, near their recent lows, Only....also see section just below here)
Biotech/Health/Medical (TAROF, FHCC, CBMI., NOV, GNSA, TOX, CCLR, TXB, HIV, LH)
Consumer/Retail/Apparel/Shoes (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, add, CNO, AIJ, to, PAH, EOP, SMT, WIR, LTC, HOT, LSN, BD, PRT, SMT, WDN, RTC, CPT, ARI., NHR, BRE, AAC, ALF, AML, BNP, BOY, BRI., CPP, CRO, PMC, ENN, FBG, NDE, JPR, MAA, RFS, 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.": KEG, FCX, TMO, BD, Z., --- 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, APM, AVM, AXE, BCF, BCP, CGN, CS, CWC, DHC, FEG, FIT., FTL, FWC, GSB, HPH, HXL, ICP, IDTC, NVX, ORI., PB, PCAR, PLC, RAL, RBO, SCS, SCZ, TGX, TXM, UAG, UQM, WLV, ZITL,
to, those listed in section (3), and those just above here, plus, "repeats"
(alphabetically by symbol) AAC, ACE, ADGO, ADM, ALN, ALR, AOI., APAC, ARG, BCF, BDR, BEZ, BJS, BMC, BMG, BSX, BTC, BXH, CFS, CFK, CLCDF, CNB, CNJ, CNU, COL, CP, CPU, CXI., CYB, DE, DETC, DO, DRC, EAR, ECO, ELCO, FAX, FGI., FLH, FTS, GGC, GKI., GLBL, GNCI., GW, HDG, HL, HMY, HLX, IAD, IMG, INPR, ISSI., ISV, JLG, LKI., LXR, MAH, MB, MGN, MLP, MLT, MRVC, NEM, NOI., NPSI., NWAC, OLGC, PMA, PRD, PSFT, REF, REV, RML, SEW, SOC, SSM, SSN, SWK, SYC, TAM, TBP, TDP, TIE, TPS, UPX, UWW, VLO, WAC, WKGP, WND, WTT, VSNR, still, most all as "EVB's" (again, note, most are "Techs", with some "Finls., Foreign, Health, Energy")....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....

note, we re-added some previously given names, above here....

*** NEW: these are longer, tighter depressed bases, directly from longer-term, 2 1/2-year, "Mansfield" charts (note, no sexiness here):
health, medical/pharm. (AIMM, 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....

Goods, Blue Chips, Consumer, Banks, Health/Medical/Drug/Biotech, Insurance, Finance, Computer, Internet, Aero./Def., Food/Bev., Banks, High-PE techs, and all Tele.-Commun., near their recent Highs ONLY, w/close stops above their patterns....also, note how we are revisiting some of our past Puttable stocks....but some "bells" have become iffy, not yet....

8) "PSYCLE sm" Lesson for today:

VIEW THE CHARTS....SEE where the 200 DMA's are....LEARN THE PATTERNS/STAGES

repeating the recent reminder lesson here: continuing our "tops" concepts, viewing the S.T. "EVT's" on my puttables list, you can now "see" many of the real-short-term double-and-triple tops in many extended stocks I gave you recently ....the vast majority of the 'intraday pops' those stocks had, last the 12th, failed, below those tops....When/if the recent lows get broken, look out....for example, "if" stocks like, AHAA, ALTR, AMCC, ASND, ATHM, AMP, AOL, ANN, ALO, T, (just among many other "A's"), were to break their most recent lows, that would complete a more serious rolling "upside-down triangle" and/or H & S tops, which I mentioned in recent NL's might be setting up, chart-wise....There are so many more potential tops around (see above), and seasonality here has tended not to be so great, as I said, one would figure at least some of our Puttables will break further, which has occured already with many....but we will still take at least 1/2 pos. Gains around their 50- or -200- DMA's support, and prefer new Put buying (replacing those with) in new stocks which have NOT yet fallen at all, vs. continuing to hold those that have already fallen to those levels, dig ? hope this helps clarify further....

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....
