Jim Goodman's "The Right Side of the PSYCLE sm"
Stocks/Industry Groups Timing Newsletter, and Education service
NEWSLETTER, issue # 91, dated: 10:00 am, P.S.T., Monday, May 03, 1999

*** In response to requests (which I appreciate), I am going to offer one-on-one "teaching/help", over the phone at first (either while we are both being on the web simultaneously, looking at the charts/patterns together, or not), in 15-30 minute increments....I am working out the cost/benefit details for you now....If you, or anyone you know, has a sincere interest in learning to see the patterns, saving time long-term, "getting it directly, personally, immediately, from the guy himself", please contact me, via e-mail or phone, soon....thanks....

in every NL: If you are a "NEWER" Subscriber, please take the time to read ALL of the "wordy" parts of this NL, once or twice, anyway....If you are an "OLDER" Subscriber, of course, feel free to SKIP, to those specific NL sections you wish to glean your information from. (Save/printout all my CUMULATIVE newsletters, 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 some individual stock CHARTS....So much valuable info. in one place ! Also, obviously, when "more, or fewer" longs, or puts, Gains, Losses, are given herein, that might also tell 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" !!! Relax, take the time to VIEW/learn the pattern/charts, enjoy the process....this NL, and my Booklets, are meant for your Lifetime beneifts, not just as a quick-hit concept....Realize, that probably 2/3 of each NL is the "same" each issue ! so, once familiar with the 8 sections, and the concepts, you should NOT have to spend much time with each NL....

VIEW charts of stocks given that fit YOUR situational needs, "piecemeal", if you have to, but DO view at least SOME, every single day....that is THE secret to success in stocks ! If pressed for time, just read section (1) and (2), and View some stocks charts, from section (3)....I give a LOT, for very little money.... spend 30 minutes, or spend 3 hours, with my output, twice a week, it's up to you.

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

STILL pretty "hot" ....catching many I.G.'s and commods. for you, accepting too many Puts Q, S, losses....Again, I detest talking "indexes", but, besides the predicted divergence of NASDAQ biggies, and the "Dow", and the S & P, the DJIA itself is now "as high above its MA" as it was in 8/97 and 8/87, and you know what happened after those two times....at least a correction back towards its MA....Also, the Trans. Avg. reached its potential double-top level, a slight new high, Fri. 30th....of course, it's previous high, 4/98, preceded a decent drop, yes ?

Here we go again ? Well, we are, unfortunately, back to a real miffy, unclear "market"....On one hand, more and more of our "previously depressed" stocks are already up to resistance levels, and/or their 200 DMA's, and, therefore ready for a rest....On the other hand, many "extended" stocks (especially Internets), even though some are already down, still have yet to break their still-existing "neclines/support" from the last 2 months or so....So, amazingly, until/unless the "Extendeds" break recent support, believe it or not, this thing may get dragged out still farther....oy. Why the Internets have not broken completely, is beyond me....But, again, they represent just two or three industries, out of over 150, around....But do note, how my giving out "interest-sensitive I.G.'s near lows, has paid off for you....Most of our Utils., REIT's, Insur., stocks up nicely....

Also, 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....again, the "Most Actionable, Do-able, stocks, Here/Now", are in Section (3). And note, the "Learning/feeling/Sentiment/commentary" items, are in sections (2). Longer lists and Industry Groups, are in section (6) and (7)....and all "follow-ups", are in sections (4) and (5). If you do not own any of the stocks in sec. (4) or (5), you can chosse to save time by ignoring those if you wish....Eight, very clear NL "sections". You have No excuses for not taking advantage.

Obviously, if "YOU" choose not to want certain types of stocks/plays, like real cheapies, or Puts, etc., or YOU choose not to learn how to do certain things better, it is your choice to do so, but realize, that other valued subscribers DO want them. You have to weigh, your time, against the significant value of learning my patterns of lifetime benefit. There ARE more than a few subscribers who are even successfully trading some of the stocks I 'miss' herein, because THEY are VIEWING the charts....'nuff said.

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

a) Important Industry Group (Rotation) notes: 1) note the DJ. Util. Avg. now up to over 314, as I was, again, the first/only to predict here at recent lows for you....but is now coming into decent overhead resistance, in the 315-317 area.... 2) I was, again, among the first/only, to have timed the depressed Golds, and, now, maybe, the depressed Foods, longs, and Extended Banks/Insur., as puts, herein, for you....note, those two I.G.'s are bi-polar, that is, I find buyable depresseds, AND puttable extended stocks, in the same I.G., rare, but we never fight the patterns/tape.... 3) I am/was recently also, the first/only, to suggest a S.T. top in Asian Indexes, and Heng Seng and Korea, now join Nikkei., IMHO....and, I don't like "linking" as you know, but, their tops, may jive, with the "U.S. Dollar high/top" I have also been suggesting to you recently herein.... 4) the Amex Oil Index did make a new slight recovery high....but is this a possible "fakeout breakout" at this extended stage ? ....5) cash Cotton is rising, so my recent chart reading seems to be correct there also ....realize, that, almost to the day from when I suggested a 20+/year low in the "CRB" index, we have never gone lower....now over 194 (up from 183), when/if gets over 194+, the CRB itself may break out, but I am not expecting that on this move, yet....and cash Gold still has overhead resistance in the 290-295 area, so expect to sell some S.T. on further strength, and do NOT expect this rise to be "the big one", yet....there will likely be yet another pullback, first, for these after S.T. highs up ahead....of course, the "gold stocks" do not automatically move with the "gold commodity", right ? and, the XAU index itself has overhead resistance in the 76, then 80, levels, at currently 74+ already, dig ? ....6) I also added some rare depressed Insurance stocks Long, to go with the depressed Food stocks, that I may end up being the first to suggest as well....

b) more, misleading, sensationalized, and/or improper comments from the Financial Media, Reporters, etc.: 1) Thu. 29th, 8:50 am, Bill Griffith, CNBC, correctly called "OXHP" a "fallen angel", but then he ruined it, by saying, "how far can it fall ?"....when, in fact, I gave it as a buy last year around $ 6+., herein, for you, and it has since RISEN to over $ 23., yes ? So, it is not "down" at all ! and, it is way "up" since CNBC and people they interviewed back then all incorrectly said, that OXHP stock "was going to continue to be in trouble till things turn around"....the pattern never changes.... 2) CNBC's Bob Pisani., Fri. 30th, 8:55 am, said, regarding supposed stock price volatility, "it's not going to go away, folks.... high volatility is here for good." Consuela Mack rebutted, "actually, I have been told that recent volatility is nothing compared with that during the late 1920's". ...3) CNBC, Fri. 30th, announced all day, that, when/if the Dow hit 11,000 , they would have a "special show"....I have only one question - why ? There are times I wish someone would pull the plug on them.... 4) I know this is political junk, but recent headline, O.C. Register, 4/30, "Massive demonstration in China seeks right of expression", reported "only" 10,000 people demonstrating in Beijing that day....regardless of one's opinions, that is hardly "massive", dig ? Just Media-created sensationalizing.... 5) I'm sure you saw the headlines, Sat. 2nd: "Amazon.com drops on loss forecasts"....as predicted here ? Stock still must break "necline/support"....yet, only one B-firm lowered their ratings on AMZN, and that one only to "buy' from "strong buy"....

c) more incorrect/improper/misleading Media comments from "Fundamentalists/ Companies/mags", etc., vs. illogical/contrary/unlinked stock prices moves, etc.: 1) the pres. of "CPWR" on CNBC, Fri. 30th, 10:40 am, said, regarding, in his opinion, overblown Y2K fears, "everyone will be covering their ears waiting for a big pop, and nothing much will happen", and, "my company has been in the sweet spot for the last 3 or 4 years, and expect to remain there for the next 3 or 4 years"....Remember, I gave out CPWR near its low, early 1996 for huge gain (then took a Q, S loss not calling its top, much higher), when Wall St. disliked all these types of companies' stocks ....view its long depressed base, on its 5-year chart....and see how now that everyone loves it, it has a parabolic chart.... 2) "BGP" fell "because they are going to focus on stores, not the WW web....tripling out internet sales wouldn't do anything for our profit." wow. Prescient words ?

d) more, late, and/or misleading, Brokerage/NL writer/Analyst comments: 1) Thu. 29th, 12:25 pm, Ron Insana shockingly led-in an interview with Laszlow Birinyi, by incorrectly saying, "he has been perfect for years" (wow)....nope....then, L.B. said, "recent broadening of industry groups means nothing with respect to 'the market'" (huh ? wrong), and, "we really like BRK.A, CMB, and BAC, JPM, here, as new buys"....Gee, I had given you, JPM, CMB, and, then added BAC, BRK.A, to my put list....he still says "Dow 12,000", and, "the internets are not done on the upside yet"....so let's fade him, yes ? ....2) Ticker magazine, May issue: BancBoston adds GNE @ 85+, as having "the best risk-to-reward profile in the industry"....PiperJaffrey adds BGEN @ 117, "eps est. +41 % from 1998"....They also highlight "Retail" stocks as super buys, listing, AEOS, BBBY, BBY, DG, HD, IBI., KSS, LOW, ORLY, TIF, TJX, WMT, among "their best stocks, screened fundamentally"....yup, they are all on my "PSYCLE sm" potential Put lists, yes ? And, Maria Bartiromo's column "Has Japan Bottomed ?" (late, as sual, right ?), said Merrill Lynch just began recent buys, on Japan stocks, like, MBK, NTT, though they are already up/extended (i.e., MER is late, dig ?).... Merrill's Gus Fliakos trimmed his estimates for the Oil Services companies, saying, "with shares depressed, investors with a 12-18-month horizon might now condsider buying the better-positioned companies"....Excuse me ? Aren't you a little late, guy ? O.S. stocks are already up +50 to +100% recently, yes ? And he is still, not only hedging, and late, and missed the lows, he also says its O.K. to buy them up here....And he gets paid for this ? Last, same mag. still, Ralph Acampora said, "my advice is to buy GE up here and go home and relax." he also likes, WMT, AMGN, PFE, C., MRK....so, let's fade all of these entities/people ....

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." here in section (3), means, "the balance" of assumed long positions, assuming an initial "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 recently Hypothetically "Sold"):

1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. BMC (4+ to 9+) for Q 166% Gain....bal. stk.on.mgn. MRVC (6+ to 11+) for VQ 150% G....1/2 pos. puts WCOM (96+ to 82+) for VQ 100% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. FLH (8+ to 12++) for 90% G....1/2 pos. stock BDT (3+ to 6+) for VQ 100% G....1/2 pos. puts TER (58 to 48) for VVQ 100% G....bal. stock DSGIF ( to ) for Q % G....1/2 pos. puts WMT (51+ to 45) for VVQ 80% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. CELL (5+ to 7+) for VQ 66% G....1/2 pos. puts CMGI. (283 to 237) for VVQ 66% G....1/2 pos. puts TFSM ( to ) for VQ % G....1/2 pos. calls SYC ( to ) for % G...1/2 pos. puts BSYS (57+ to 50+) for VQ % G....1/2 pos. puts CREE ( to 40) for VQ % G....css ARMHY (37- to 32+) for VVQ 22% G....also refer back to last three sets of NL's sales here....

and/but, longs, none, and, puts, VLSI., ss KIDE, for very quick, 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) EGR @ 21, GLDR @ 1.06, LDW @ 6+, PNW @ 38--, REL @ 7 7/16, SAFC @ 39+, SPC @ 29-, (note, some higher-priced blue chips), and,

"Repeats": (note list shrinking, as expected, as many pop) ADGO @ 3 11/16, AIMM @ 1 15/16, AZC @ 9/16, BAL @ 2 5/16, BGO @ 5/8, BMG @ 2 11/16, CAU @ 0.20, CBJ @ 3 13/16, CCH @ 0.28, CDV @ 2 7/8, CHB @ 18++, CNJ @ 15+, CNU @ 0.46, DAY, EAR @ 9/16, ECO @ 1 11/16, ESH @ 5.06, FOTO @ 3+, GRERF @ 0.28, GSR @ 3/4, HDG @ 1.06, IPIC @ 2 5/8, KEG @ 3 3/8, KMAG @ 3 5/8, KRY @ 5/8, LWN @ 1., NGX @ 0.53, PAGE 3 13/16, PRD @ 19 3/4, SCG @ 22++, SCY @ 4, SEV @ , SOC @ 5+, SXTN @ 5+, UFC @ 21, UMR @ 11/16, VGZ @ 0.175, WIX @ 3 7/8....most are still EVB's, bases, and/or low-priceds... ."buy (only) low", right ? but not really that great a list, as I had intimated recently....

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, SPC, --- 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, etc. --- either, for straight Cash, and/or, on Margin, and/or (only) 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. LEARN the patterns !

**** Newly BOUGHT, long "PUTS" (or "short sales" if no puts), for potential Drops: alphabetically by symbol:

(new ones) AXP @ 138, BAC @ 75, BRK.A @ 78- (times 10), CMB @ 86, DCLK @ 149, EGRP @ 120, FLT @ 44++, IBI. @ 50+, NZT @ 41++, OTEX @ 39++, QCOM @ 215, RGIS @ 26+, XOMD @ 43-, WCII. @ 49+....

("Repeats"): AFS @ 45, FS @ 42+, HTN @ 45+, LLL @ 49+, MFNX @ 85, MSS @ 8, ORBK @ 50-, PE @ 27++, SBA @ 26+, UNFY @ 15+....

and/but, took, FITB, Off pot. Puts list, before "put", as they aborted their patterns immediately (also see recent past issues taken off, here)....any new highs = off the puts list....

IMPORTANT: sometimes, just in the few hours after I send this NL to the web site, a stock might break its extended 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", PTSI., RDRT, THP, NOW, TRI., MNY, GRT, HCC, LFG, PIR, JH, as Longs/Buys near very recent lows, and, TEVIY, FDS, EQ, YUM, VIA.B, CSGS, ZION, AMO, ISCA, GLW, TECH, ATI., HDI., IPG, HD, as Puts/Shorts, near recent highs.... Every single stock here was specifically given 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 recently....More proof of the power of "PSYCLE sm" patterns.

I will always tell you here, also when we "miss" catching suggested ideas, so you can "view/see" and LEARN their charts/patterns, for your educational benefit. Also, this 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, carefully ....and check their charts to see the patterns: note the Growing list of depresseds I gave out, which are Rising, as expected, in the "shift" I was first to suggest, is broadening a bit for us....nice: more than a few more 20-30 % rises, just since last time:

FOTO 3 7/8 up 3/4, SWW 3 7/8 up 3/4, GDC 3 3/8 up 1/2, BDT 6 1/2 up 1 3/8 (sos), COE 6 1/8 up 3/4, FLH 13 5/8 up 2 1/4 (sos), AAC 7 up 3/4, ARW 18 3/4 up 2, CBJ 4 1/8 up 3/8, EGR 22 7/8 up 2 1/8, SXTN 6 up 5/8, REL 7 7/8 up 5/8, PRD 21 3/8 up 1 5/8, FHCC 17 up 1, RML 23 3/8 up 1, SCG 24 1/2 up 7/8, NSP 24 5/8 up 1, SUB 43 5/8 up 1 1/4, ASL 9 1/4, PPW 16 3/4, ARM 14 3/8, SAFC 41 1/4 up 2, PNW 38 7/8 up 1 3/8, BOY 15 3/4, MANH 10 7/8, MMWW 20 3/8, SUB 43 3/4 up 1, SYC 16 3/8 (sos), NPSI. 17, XTR 41 3/4, SCZ 15 7/8, WTT 2 7/8, BBA 6 7/8, BXH 6 3/8, HEC 2 3/8, HM 9 3/4, ICO 9 3/4, CPU 7 5/8, BYX 4 1/8, SOC 5 5/8, TE 21 7/8, IGT 18 1/8, UFC 22, ALN 10 1/8, FCN, MGN, UMR, BGO, up/further, just since last time here....

and, For the last time: note, ORCL, hit 50 DMA, and, BDT, WYG, ANDW, PZN, ACK, ARW, BFO, HMT, hit their 200 DMA....and, LOD, FCN, SYC, BOY, LMT, TMO, AN, STEI., approaching their 200 DMA....and, NEM, hit 24+ (sos), ASA 19+, PCAR 60+, CIR 24+, NWAC 34+, PAM 8, GW 2 1/2, CHK 2 3/8, SIL 13+ (S), OMPT 18, SAP 32+, COB 8-, UTI. 13+, ULB 4 5/8, NSS 8+, NR 9+, MCH 27, OS 17, SNT 38-, TXI. 31, WLM 14+, WND 12-, PPP 19+, FGI. 20, ROH 45, COT 22, ICN 34, AIN, LZ 28, NX 26, N. 19, HPC 38+, RDC 16+, VNT 29, CYM 16, WII. 35, IGL, AG, MAH, AR, FBG, MSX, NS, BJS, FGI., THP, SAP, all higher still....all given you near their lows, herein....wow....

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....always view the one-year daily charts....

and/but, then, seeing Many pullbacks, WS 2 3/8 up 3/8, SEV 4 1/4 up 1/2, CELL 6, AAM 1 5/8, RJF 22 1/4, KMAG, AAC 6 1/2, PSSI. 10 3/8, 11 3/8, KNE 21 1/4 up 3/4, AOI., MANH, WDC 8 3/4, FRTE, NPSI., KEG 3 1/4, GDC 2 7/8, TAROF, RTC, SAMC, SFSK, ADGO, IPIC, TBP, AFCI., IFMX, NSD, HIV, ESC, UQM, WWW, MWY, HDG, SEV, SYBS, AGU, CNU, APFC, PNW, OMM, ORI., OCN, TXB, CCH, EEX, BS, and/but, "the T-bond" 122+ up 2+, but then -2....some of these are also in "ms/sos" 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 ?) (note, this list is still Shrinking, get it ?) "T-Bond", BXH, FHCC, AAC, TMAR, RJF, ANDW, KMAG, ADGO, IGT, AIMM, CNU, CDV, WIX, IMFX, SEV, TXB, TPS, AFCI., APFC, EAR, CHB, PFC, KEG, NSD, LWN, EEX, TTEC, WIX, SOC, RYO, BLM, BKI., ECO, DAY, BGO, FLM, MCL, CAU, MSN, AM, BS, WH, cheap golds.

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 slowly, carefully:
DCLK -16, BTY -8, AXP -8 1/2, MTNT -7 1/2 (sow), EGRP -7, QCOM -7, COST -5, GILTF -4 1/2 (sow), PAYX +1 1/2, -4 1/2, VRTY -4 1/4, BAC -4, CMB -3, IBI. -3, OTEX -2 1/2, USAI. -3 1/2, LVCI. -2, FM -2, DISH +5, -8, +3, -8, ECILF -2 1/4, WCOM -2 (S), QWST -3, +3, -2, UNFY -1 1/4, XOMD -1 3/8, FLT -1 1/2, PCLE -1, TFSM -1 (sow), CNMD -1 (sow), MCD -1, CMB -1, TEVIY, ASML -1 1/2, AFS -1, LZRC -2, ANET -1 1/4, WMT -2 1/2, LOW -1, +2, TR -2, BBY -2, AJG -1, PGTV, VCELA, PSIX, FS, down/further, just since last time here ....then, getting some V.S.T. dead-cat bounces Thu. off lows....

also, MCK got killed, anew, and, PFE, STE, ALO, RX, BMET, SYKE, down further....and, MRK, AMAT, CTL, FMY, BSYS, MTNT, GILTF, CNMD, GENZ, approached their 200 DMA....and, ARMHY, TFSM, CREE, ABOV, fell to their 50 DMA....gave you all near highs herein....

Note: these have always been listed, by "number of points falling", from most, to least...."(sow)" means, "Sell previously long puts On next Weakness, towards/near support"...."(S)" means sell/sold their previously 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.

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

(notice, fewer names here): COVD +4, -7, INSP +37, -5, GNET +27, -10, CNET +17, -10, AOL +14, SONE +13, XCIT +3, -12, VIGN +12, -3, MFNX +9, LVLT +9, VISX +10, TER +6, CSCO +5, IBI. +3, ORLY +2, BTY +4, BBY +3 3/4, SANM +2, GILTF +2 1/2, WCOM +2, COST, SCAI. +2, -6, QCOM +4, GBLX +3, AXP +3, LVCI. +2 3/4, WCOM -1, CREE -3, +1, -2, WMT +3, MTNT, TSG +1 1/2, TSG -1 1/2, MTP -3, USAI. +1 3/8, PCLE, WWCA, UIHIA, MFNX, ORBK +2, PSUN, BUD -3, ORLY +1 1/2, AGPH, BBT, SBA, CM, SBA, MKL +2, AJG +1, LLL, ER, LOW, FS, TI., WKR....

again, we need to see many stocks break below recent lows/necklines, and, so far, that has certainly NOT been the case....hence the recent "1/2 pos.(ition)" sales in sec. (3), dig ? You are on your own, regarding buying Puts after "bounces" which occur in between NL's, which do not break to new highs, or do not break toppy patterns ! 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 patterns 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 ? View their charts, piecemeal, at least....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.

*** Note, these lists are likely to shrink, due to recent price rises....

Prec.Metals (GSR, NGX, CCH, VGZ, CAU, KRY, DRFNY, DAY, AZC, BGO, all real cheapies, riskier, some may need more work/time, added more below as well)
Energy and Oil Svc. (UMR, MHR, SEV, KEG, etc., near their recent lows Only, and, more stocks, as below, on bigger pullbacks, ahead)
Biotech/Health/Medical (BAL, FHCC, TXB, EAR, AOI., SHG)
"Staffing/Employment" (JOB, OLS, ASIS, MPS, too late for some already)
other Computer/Techs: (ATV, WTT, MTSI., CELL, note, fewer now)
R.E.I.T./finance/Healthcare/Utilities, potential high-yield-plus (add, GLB, HRP, NI., PRT, to, SCG, NSP, CIN, GPU, AHE, NCE, PNW, NHI., PPW, NHP, ARM, BOY, DTE, CEI., TRI., HCR, TCO)....note, this I.G. section has grown....

and/but, Important: also, took these Off the pot. long Buy list, Before they might have been Hypothetically "bt.": SPC, --- were taken Off ....we do Not "Guess" at bottoms....we want only the EVB's, which set up properly ....for one thing, we MUST also see the cathartic/high volume, in "PSYCLE sm" stage 7", first, and/or more fully formed "bases", yes ?

* 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, or "basing" or "double" bottoms, near recent lows ONLY: adding, BEZ, CNC, DSL, MMG, LFG, PIR, to, those listed in section (3), and those just above here, plus,

"repeats" (alphabetically by symbol) (NOTE: added "still-close" stocks, from recent "Value Line" list, and removed others) AAM, ABH, ADGO, AIMM, AMD, AN, ATV, AVGLY, BAL, BGP, BKI., BMG, BYX, CBJ, CDV, CEXP, CNJ, CNU, CPU, CS, CWC, DHC, DRFNY, EAR, ESH, FHCC, FLM, FNL, GDC, GLDR, GRERF, HDG, HEC, HM, HNV, HOC, IO., IPIC, KEG, LWN, MIDI., MNY, MSN, MU, MWY, MXG, OCN, PAGE, PAH, PENN, PFC, PRD, RDRT, RTC, SAFC, SAMC, SCY, SGU, SHOW, SOC, SSN, SWW, TBP, TIE, TTRIF, TWA, UDG, UFC, still, most as "EVB's", with a few basers....

New, 'Longer-term-only' "watching" list: added, HTCH, ONPT, DATM, GISH, PBY, IRSN, NOW, QSII., PSFT, PRCM, SAVLY, SVRN, CHRZ, GHM, MCK, TGX, ZAP, SVM, "Foods", to, AM, REL, CBRL, CAG, KMAG, LDW, TRI., WLT, WDC, GHV, TCO, NOV, PAA, KE, ISSI., as potential "EVB"s", and may base/bottom ahead....will let you know in sec. (3), as usual....some still need technical work....again, NOT Yet, but just to briefly give you an idea of what may be coming....oh, and some "Food-oriented' stocks should begin to bottom ahead, just watching for now....
and/but most, only on pullbacks towards lows....and/but, not any of these above, when/if they make new lows or break budding bases/patterns....don't "force" trades....and be sure to do your 'fundamentals' homework on the less-known ones....

Remember, this is primarily just a "watching to possibly buy" list !!! They only become Buys, when they appear(ed) in sec. (3) above, when/if they decline towards lows and hold, yes ? That's why YOU must LOOK at their charts, over time, when you have a few minutes....How else are you going to learn the patterns ? This is a positive, not a negative....note, we re-added some previously given names, above here....

**** 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, these lists are likely to shrink, as issues fall from their highs lately....

8) "PSYCLE sm" Lesson for today:

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

NEW very brief LESSON: recent action has, again, shown/proven the value, of "Ind. Grp. Rotation"....one I.G. moves, then the next, etc., over time....the Gamings, then, Oil Services, then, Basic Industries, then, Cyclicals, then Golds, then Utilities, rising, while, first, the Utilities/T-bond, then the Drugs, then the Biotechs, and now, maybe the Internets, each fell, etc. Of interest/import, some rose, while others fell, simultaneously, exactly as taught in my "I.G.R." booklet (re-read it)....we even had "catch-up" moves....neat....Sure, we've had some Q, S losses along the way, but, my helping you learn the patterns, is certainly worth many thousands of dollars to you the rest of your life, yes ? Don't you know other nice people you might recommend receive my output formally ? Please let them, and me, know I am here for them as well, thanks....

* The following several paragraphs are in every NL:
I have been so busy, expending so much time/effort, researching, finding, and giving the ideas I do in each NL lately, and creating each NL itself, I have not had time to give many more "Lessons" here lately, nor to finish 3 more real valuable "Booklets"....FYI, 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 12/7/98 NL, through the 12/28/98 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 single 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 pulls 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), iliustrates this helpful item....This is very simple: 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.

Remember, the time length of the full trip from stage 1 through 7, can be one year, or ten years, or 100 years, etc., depending on one's desired perspective....A stock can be in one stage S.T., and another stage L.T. But 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 1-2-3-4-month patterns, holds, and moves, and NOT overnite, nor daily nor intraweek moves. Trade less, make more, lower stress, free-up time, etc.

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 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 stays with it....and, to, always, 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....

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....
