"2001: a Trading Odessey"

or, "The Patterns Rarely Change"

Important Note: this serious, very valuable "NL" has No longer been publically available nor disseminated, for a while, due to the too-often at least semi-gestapo, uncaring, ridiculous, illogical, NASD/SEC rules, and the uncaring, inconsiderate, and thoughtless nature of most all brokerage firms....I am just doing a continual 'working version' forward, here, twice each week, to maintain and continue my real, actual, in-writing, in-advance, very-long-term track record, and to offer further significant, in-advance, in-writing, 'proof' of the value and excellent timing experience of my "PSYCLE sm" concepts and teachings....

1) "PSYCLE SENSE sm": new:

Well, encouraging, generally....look at the section (4) Gainers I already gave you recently....and this rally may just be beginning....I gave out Puts Gainers, cut most all longside losses nicely, and continued to buy not-broken patterned issues, as seemingly everyone else out there got to the ledge of the cliff....just as in 1970, late 1974, 82, 84, 87, 90, 94, and mid-'98, we are here now at serviceable bottoms in many issues....and, anyone who isn't at least a little excited here, at the initial prospects longside, well, please study how most S.T. bottoms have formed the last several decades....because this one is the same....and, of course, re-read my booklets....

More good news: as I suggested recently, Fri. after the close, on Multex, Dick Arms (Index), said the '10-day A/D ovbt./ovsld. index' is at 1.49 - normally, historically, VERY good S.T. bottoms have lead to oversold rallies whenever that index is around 1.50 or more, dig ? The last 2 times, were 10/97 and 10/87, hmmmmm....of interest, some of the stocks he has a bullish (semis/teachs) and bearish (apparel/retail) bent on, are similar to mine....yay....keep in mind, as you have learned here, the 'easy money' often happens upside before anyone out there knows it happened on bottoms like ours here....I am also seeing a plethora of normal, usual EVB's here....take your pick, but do buy a bunch, with stops....

as to the pb's Monday, good....so more people will not buy near the lows, and many Techs especially will likely not make new lows...it doesnt often get much better than this for buying these....not a bull out there (except people like me)....of course, the non-bulls dwn here also never bought any Puts earlier, right ? the small Puts list alone is another decent sign, as I said recently.... hope you catch some near-lows here, for at least some decent bounces....I am here to help you....

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) well, I did it again - the first/only to give out Semis near recent lows for ya...."But, Jim, their fundamentals are still looking lower" - gee, please re-read my booklets.... anyway, I now see a growing list of super-depressed Techs, according to S & P, actually estimating PROFITS in 2001 or 2002, and/or already profitable ! think about that....why people are not scooping them up is beyind me (but not really, as we understand the dynamic here, while 'the 95%' do not).... 2) and, noticing what has transpired recently, I was also certainly the first/only to have given out many extended Retail, Medical, Gaming, Textile, Comml. Svcs., Military, Chem., stocks, fell towards their 200 DMA's recently, see ? the pattern rarely changes....

3) Robin Mesch, a supposed Bonds expert gal whose past T.R., we are not told, on CNBC, Mon. 12:25, says 'the consolidation bottom is at 105++ at lowest", and is still pretty bullish on the Bond.... 4) and, as I am again, I gues, the first to suggest S.T. bottoms and bounces in many Aisan stocks - just as 'the 95 %' got super-bearish - as usual....

b) more, misleading, sensationalized, Late, and/or improper/incorrect comments from the Financial Media, Reporters, etc.:
1) ....

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) interestingly, as I taught you a while ago, there were tons of Insider Sales among already-super-depressed Techs recently - which proves once again, insiders do NOT know any more than others at turning points.... 2) CNBC's D.Faber, Mon. 12:15, story about how many companies use accounting gimmicks (don't get me started, re-read my Booklwets), to mask/hide/mislead numbers, etc., on takeovers, goodwill, R & D, etc., as if knowing that the last several years migh thave affected anything - the parabolic rise of unprofitable stocks, and/or the decline of profitable, long-existing stocks - dig ? total BS, as you have been taught....

3) CNBC reported Tue. that "univ. of mich. consumer sentiment" reading for this month, came out higher than expected....might this dovetail with Deloss Smith's comments ?

d) more, likely late, incorrect, and/or misleading, comments, from Brokerage firms, NL writers, Analysts, economists, Money Managers, etc.:
1) more anti-kudos for yet another round of dumb B-firms who only now downgraded ABI, one they ALL loved at the top a while ago, on Friday.... 2) even as he kinda agrees with me, Dick Arms, like EVRYONE else out there, said we cannot have a sustained rally until more hopeful people get whacked even more, which is, as you know, ridiculous.... 3) Salomon's John Jason, one guy who kinda did foretell the Techs decline, last year, said, Mon., they had NOT bottomed yet, 'a watched pot never boils' - but, as I taught you, often, the few analysts who foretell a trend early, almost always fail to reverse well afand stay too long, yes ? So, we'll fade him, yes ?

4) similarly, amazingly, I just received a 'copy mailing' late, from the Bob Prechter EWT people, titled, "an urgent report - famous market manias and their aftermaths", showing those previous historical parabolas, and big drops thereafter....problem is, THEY are NOW super-bearish - yet they comveniently left OUT, recent drops in Techs/NASDAQ, and probablye at least S.T. bottoms here, dig ? Last, realize, for the umpteenth time, EWT was WRONG predicting huge drops from the early 1980's, then again, AFTER the 1987 crash, yes ? so, thanks again for nothing fellas, but scaring people to try to get subscriptions, AFTER the fact when they were wrong in the first place....I still respect their concept somewhat, but, geez....

e) more general items proving why one should probably ignore 95 % of everything else out there:
1) gee, it only took the useless idiot politicians in Calif. several months to agree to stick it to consumers to alleviate part of the Elec. problem by raising our rates ridiculously....hmmmm....who was the first to predict that herein ? ....2) Deloss Smith, on CNBC Tue. 7 am, pointed out, that, so far, even with the 200,000 layoffs in Techs here-around, "they are being abosrbed by other companies/areas of our economy, and unemployment is NOT rising much considering, which is actually a good sign"....

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....

* Previously assumed Long positions most recently SOLD (showing the actual price changes, in parentheses, from the price where/when recently originally recommended herein, to the price where very recently Hypothetically "SOLD")....

"Q" = 'quick', i.e., after less than a month or so holding, "VQ" = 'very quick', i.e., just a couple of weeks time, and "VVQ" = 'very very quick', i.e., often after just a few days since 'bought' herein....and, L.T., means 'long-term', i.e., at least a few months' time holding period:

cleaning up still 11 more Puts Gains: bal. puts AZA (44 to 28+) for 133% G....bal. puts BK (57 to 43-) for Q 100% G....bal. puts AGC (40 to 35) for Q 50% G....bal. puts AHP (62 to 54) for VQ 75% G....bal. puts BBT (37 to 31++) for 60% G....bal. puts MEL (44 to 36) for 75% G....bal. puts BCE (28+ to 22+) for VQ 88% G....bal. puts CMCSK (46 to 39+) for VQ 75% G...1/2 pos. puts EXC (67- to 60) for VQ 44% G....1/2 pos. puts PPL (46+ to 42-) for VQ 35% G....1/2 pos. puts JNY (40 to 35-) for VVVQ 50% G....and, 1/2 pos. calls KNT (14 to 18) for VQ 125% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. PRSF (6 to 8+) for VVQ 66% G....

and/but, longs, FBR ?, CSCO, and, puts, ADVP, for very quick, very small losses, normally of small overall consequence to a properly diversified L.T. portfolio....still have plenty of cash to deploy soon....

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 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. buying those stocks on Margin, with close stops, where suitable, instead, with less arithmetic risk, and yet, 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 here would be relatively smaller, though still excellent, for such short holding periods, yes ? also, obviously, these "hypothetical transactions" are always listed, from biggest % Gains, to smallest, then all 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):
**** 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:

ACTM @ 11+, 1/2 pos. AWE @ 17+, BEAS @ 30++, 1/2 pos. CDT @ 13++, 1/2 pos. DCLK @ 10, 1/2 pos. DD @ 40, 1/2 pos. INFA @ 15+, 1/3 pos. IOM @ 3 1/2-, 1/2 pos. JDSU @ 22-, 1/3 pos. MGM @ 15+, 1/2 pos. NTRO @ 5+, 1/2 pos. SONE @ 6+, 1/2 pos. STXN @ 8 1/8,

"Repeats": (some of these are/were '1/2 size positions): ANDW @ 14+, BGO @ 0.405, BSRTS @ 5 1/2, CAS @ 8.8, CBJ @ 1/4, CTHR @ 0.85, FON @ 20+, GAB @ 10, HNV @ 1/4, IN @ 5-, IOM @ 3+, KEYN @ 12+, KRY @ 3/4, NOVL @ 5-, PMCS @ 30+, ROS @ 5- ?, SFE @ 4.81, SPCT @ 12, TERN @ 3 3/4, VRTA @ 10, ZMBA @ 1.6...."buy (only) low", right ?

** Important: took, GLGC, PHI, Off the pot. Long Buys list, before they might have been Hypothetically "bt.".... we do Not "Guess" at bottoms....or tops....

**** Newly BOUGHT, long "PUTS" (or "short sales" if no puts), for potential Drops:
alphabetically by symbol:
(new ones): 1/2 pos. ATVI @ 24+, 1/2 pos. RCII. @ 46,

"Repeats": (some are/were '1/2 pos.') BRO @ 39+, CNT @ 47+, EIX @ 15, GCO @ 26++, HSIC @ 34-, KPP @ 34-, NOI. @ 39+, PCG @ 14++, SKX @ 27++, TDW @ 50+,

and/but, took, 'anything already way down', and, , and the 'just missed' ones just below here, Off the pot. Puts list, before "put", as they aborted their patterns immediately (also see recent past issues taken off, here)....remember, any new highs = off the Puts list....so VIEW their charts, to see what 'aborted Puts patterns' look like, for YOUR lifetime benefit....also, obviously, where they have fallen nicely, many of these were 'just missed' herein as well, right ?

*** and/but, among stocks recently specifically given you herein, in sections (6) and (7) below, we "just Missed", ADBE, PRGN, ITCD, ACTM, PGO, GX, ATMI, FLO, THDO, HWP, ZIXI, LU, NXCD, KLIC, RTEK, IBIS, AMKR, ASYT, PYX, VSH, TER, GTW, TSM, SNE, TMCS, PRGN, PRIA, PWER, CPST, NEWP, ASIA, HELX, ITXC, HOMS, LTXX, LSCC, BD, as Longs/Buys near very recent lows, and, none, as Puts/Shorts, near recent highs....Every single stock ever listed here over past NL's was specifically given you herein, in sec. (6) or (7), previously, and you very likely could still have caught them, if you took the time to view their charts....More proof of the power of "PSYCLE sm" patterns....again, just because I honestly admit to "missing" some, which DO work anyway, that I give you herein, does not mean YOU have to miss those same stocks....if you do just a little work, YOU may certainly catch ones, which I may happen to just miss, herein....making you money, in both directions, most of the time, while hopefully stopping losses smallishly....

*** 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, usually up already, and/but acting A.O.K., so stay in these, long, for now):

**** note: (sos) means "Sell On Strength" (i.e., 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).



acting a.o.k., or strong(er) :
be sure to VIEW charts of all the big winners lately from last few NL's, to learn the pattern, more:
still more nice Gains for you, all through recent travails, ay ? :
ACTM 13.81 up 2.81, INFA 18.6 up 3.6, SONE 7 5/8 up 2 1/4, ANDW 16.25 up 2.07, DITC 10.93 up 2.18, AWE 20.21 up 3, NOVL 5.56 up 0.56, DCLK 12 1/8 up 2 3/8, VRTA 13 1/2 up 1 1/4, STXN 9.66 up 1.66, CDT 15.47 up 1.87, NTRO 6.18 up 0.75, HPOW 7 3/8 up 5/8, JNIC 13 up 1, GSPN 28 1/4 up 2 1/4, PRSF 8.43 up 1.06, JDSU 23 1/2 up 1 5/8, RNWK 7.34 up 0.50, BEAS 30.8, 33.5, MGM 16.15, DD 42.4 up 2.4, MERX 14 5/8, TSTN 7.81 up 0.50, KEYN 12.93, TERN 4.18, SAWS 20.75, KNT 18.92, ASML 24 5/8 up 1, higher since last NL here....while, MU, NMS, approached their 200 DMA ....and, WIN 27+, even higher still....

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 ?)

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 since last time here:
check their patterns out to learn:
JNY -4 (S), RCII. -2 1/2, SKX -2 3/4, BRO, RL, lower since last NL here....and, AFL 24, AIG 74, FRX 48-, ENE 52, CBE 34, AZA 26, EMR 58, TMO 20-, BBT 31, BK 41, BCE 22, MEL 35, NEU 55, PG 60, FITB 46, ANEN 12, CERN 31, SSSS 26 to 19....all given you herein from tops, easily exploitable, Gains should have been totally taken by now....and, OK, CHTR, approached their 200 DMA....even lower still, neat....

* But, then, these, are acting too Strong, and/or are Bouncing, intraday, and/or Must Weaken anew, nevertheless, and/or are sales on pullbacks/weakness ("sow"):

: LNCR +2, MNI, CMH, SKX, NOI. -1 1/2, CNT, BDK, EXC +2, TDW, PPL +2, BMET +2, JNY +2 1/2, PBG +1 1/4, AEP +1, EIX +3, PCG +3, -1....this ends our 'Downside' follow-ups for this NL....

Potential Longs, by Industry Groups, for "Rotation":

(NOTE: again, if they are already down appreciably from their highs, do NOT chase them down, wait for bounces):
(re-read my "Downside/Puts" booklet): Potential Puts list, by I.G.'s where practical, near their Highs, ONLY --- do NOT "chase down" much: note: this list supercedes all previous ones....these are the ONLY Puttables here, as all others have been Removed:
