NEWSLETTER, ended formally, back in early April 2000, with issue # 207+, a while ago....(so/but this NL is Not really being actually published formally, publically, any more, and has not been, for quite a while now ....I just wanted a place to keep track of what I would have said and done and felt, since I was forced undeservedly to stop my NL, months ago....this is ONLY for my own edification and proof of the value of my output and concepts to others), and anyone reading this has NOT gotten it from me....

"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:

With all te cross-currents, note the plethora of new longside potential buys added technically in sec. (6) below....more illustrative of what I have been saying....for the umpteenth time, that the better benefit down here is being more long more depr. techs, than not, period....and, given past patterns, the question is, how many are people going to catch/miss this time around ? added still more in section (3)....carefully, but purposely....while not forsaking the put-side all along....

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) interesting, most every Puts QSL recently, has been, at least so far, a 'fobo'....of course, they would have to break even further to negate, so no further opinion on them yet, except to reiterate how often one gets 2 chances to sell/cut losses small-y.... 2) I will also take normal credit for being among the very first few to give out depr. Semi. stocks from recent lows - again, as in March/April, herein, for you.... 3) and don't kid yourself, some of the depr. Brazil stocks are bottoming already - as usual, I will be the first to see it.... 4) and, of course, I was the first/only to 'put' Utilities from their highs, several, with just a few QSL's.... 5) Japan stock index made new 16-yr. low....I still have no formal opinion, since MC and SNE broke a while ago for very small QSL's herein....remember, NO 'links' to our market much (re-read my Booklets)....but be assured, it will bottom before the Media or the 95 % even hint at going less bearish, right ? ....6) note 'fobd's and 'fobo's' in sec. (4) and (5) below....always rough, but, as taught for years, if are only a small % of one's portfolio, can often stick around a bit if desired.... energy, utility, techs, etc.

b) more, misleading, sensationalized, Late, and/or improper/incorrect comments from the Financial Media, Reporters, etc.:
1) big L.A.T. article recently about how consumers are not rushing to 'upgrade' their computer stuff, hardware nor software, exactly as I predicted, similarly to after late 1990, recall ? the pattern rarely changes....just as, back then, I said 'everyone who wanted a new car, had one'....

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) amazingly, been reading comments/predictions from people who said it would rise forever near its top, that - get this - natural gas prices could fall to the 1.50 to 2.00 mcf area by end of this summer ! to which any "PSYCLE sm" knower would laugh....the pattern rarely changes....and, Mon., Consuela Mack (don't get me started), said, "aren't many people saying the Energy pklay is over ?" you know what THAT likely means to stocks prices forward, yes ? ....2) as I first/alone gave some out herein as Puts properly from highs, Mon., CNBC reported apparel companies deciding to 'go back to pitching jeans again - but this may create a glut, since the avg. american already owns 7 pairs of jeans" _ meaning, from a "PSYCLE sm" p.o.v.., they are grasping at straws, as I expected when I predicted the recession we are in....normal at this stage for them....

d) more, likely late, incorrect, and/or misleading, comments, from Brokerage firms, NL writers, Analysts, economists, Money Managers, etc.:
1) two analysts on CNBC, Fri., said, "of the 2 competitors in their field, we love PSFT and hate SEBL here, because their fundamentals are so opposite...." Normal, good, let's fade both, yes ? 2) semi-perma-bear B> Scheaffer, Mon. at close, said, "a turnaround seems farther and farther away...." good, let's fade him again....

e) more general items proving why one should probably ignore 95 % of everything else out there:
1)

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:


still more Gains, some over + 100 % again, puts, longs:
bal. puts DJ. Util. Avg. (400 to 325) for Big % Gain....1/2 pos. calls TXN (30- to 35+) for VVQ 80% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. LBRT (8+ to 11+) for 75% G....1/2 pos. calls JWN (17 to 22) for 133% G....1/2 pos. calls AWE (15+ to 19+) for Q 88% G.... 1/2 pos. puts ATVI (40 to 30) for VQ 100% G....

and/but, longs, RKY (48+ to 52+ to 48), DTPI, ATSN, CDE, and, puts, CACI, EDS no, BVF, PLNR ?, WWY ?, CHD ?, for very quick, very small losses, normally of small overall consequence to a properly diversified L.T. portfolio....all still have plenty of cash to deploy soon....and we always expect some "fobd's" along the way among depressed stocks....

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:

** Important: took, IMGN, ATSN, Off the pot. Long Buys list, before they might have been Hypothetically "bt."....we do Not "Guess" at bottoms, nor tops....but, just last time here, many issues were decent 'shots', given my V.S.T. bottom assumption....

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

and/but, took, 'anything already way down', and, CTXS ?, WE, 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 (although expect some "fobo's"....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", TWAV, ADI, JDAS, UCFC, MICC, ATML, HLIT, LU, OTE, TFS, RCL, TSM, JBL, IRF, ET, NITE, INFY, POWI, TWTC, SANM, PWER, STXN, NEWP, PMCS, QGENF, WCOM, GLBL, IMGN, GS, as Longs/Buys near very recent lows, and, CIN, DPL, RX, BNI, MO, VSEA, FHCC, SERO, BEN, 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:
plenty more nice winners:
JWN 22 5/8 up 5 5/8 (sos), WFII. 8.07 up 2.52 nice, EXAR 24.1 up 3.7, PSEM 15.5 up 3, CNXT 10 up 2, CNET 10.99 up 1.65, AETH 11.50 up 1.75, NT 8.45 up 1.20, WCOM 14.60 up 1.34, ZIGO 21.08 up 1.28, WDC 3.85 up , HP 33.30 up 2.78, AWE 19.09 up 0.84, MDCC 21.80 up 1.19, MEOH 6.55 up , COMS 21.44 up 1.44, ACE 35.4 up 1.9, TXN 35.95 up 1, KTC 21.49, A. 30.3, BJS 26.65 up 1, HON 37.7, PTEN 18.0, CIEN 32.38, SSTI. 9.80 up 0.72, SATC 9.75 up 0.43, PETD 6.41 up 0.47, GLGC 19.9 up 1.4, MACR 17.60 up 1.43, AAPL 19 1/2 up 1 1/2, CIEN 33.5 up 1.5, MU 42.80 up 1.30,

and/but, then, seeing Many pullbacks, and more bounces after pullbacks:
QLTI. 20.7, AMCC, SCH, MRD, CSCO 18.68, 19.48, , BJS 25.55, PETD 6.15, PTEN 17.08, WEBM 16, 16.5, ACTL, PRD, CRA 29.75, 31.40, PR 19 up 1, CPC, ZIGO 19.65, DIS 26.27, AETH 10.49, CLRN 7.10, 7.35, HP 31, WDC 3.58, VG....some of these are also in the "ms/sos" list below, and, those must strengthen or else....


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 ?) LNUX 1.86, 2.50, DIS 27.4 up, AVNX 6.95, 7.30, 7.01, KANA, STTX, ACTL, RCG, BSX, DSS, APW, MXO 5.4, AEG, ALN....and, note, PWER, ANDW, ALGX, OTE, WEBM 15.52, PETD, WEBM, were more 'fobd's....

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, which are Falling/further since last time here:
check their patterns out to learn:
all things considered, a decent amount
ATVI. -4, PPDI. -2 1/2, UNH -1 1/2, TJX -1, ZION, AEOS, lower, some further, since last NL here....

* 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"):

: EXPD -4 1/2, EDS, PGR +2, IBM, CL, ESCM, AEOS, NBIX, COCO +6, -3, BBT, ASBC, CBT, KM up, EBAY -2, +3, FEIC -2, ICCI, SO, PLNR -2, LHP, CHRW, HI, DNB, CHD, USAI. +1, ZION, WWY....and, the NYSE's A/D line is improving....just a hedge was....note, 'fobo's in BDX, TOL, CYTC, as well....this ends our 'Downside' follow-ups for this NL....

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):

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 ?):


some depressed Telecom/Wireless, Health-related, some Chem./Farm/Fert., Ind. Groups....and, on bigger pullbacks, Apparel, Retail, etc., but probably not Airlines, nor big Golds, yet....and some Brokers improving technically....
*** and, of course, many depr. Techs, Semis, data storage, internet, software, computer - relateds, below, and soon....ONLY near lows, as always....

* The stocks on this next list, are also, still, Current, or, Potential, "EVB's" ("exhaustion V bottoms"), read that Booklet !):

We are Also "Watching" --- as potential EVB's, or "basing", or "double" bottoms", near recent lows ONLY:
*** as S.T., "EVB's": in no particular order, as a "watching" list: note, most have been on this list for a while, allowing you ample opportunity to have SEEN their charts, and bought them when/if suitable, yes ?

added, (in no particular order !): (be sure thay have not popped up too much too fast recently, already, before you buy, and, note I took some off list already),
understand, some of these stil need more work/pullbacks....this list will be revised over each weekend....
added even more: but, note, obviously, I removed a bunch, and some others are already up, as well (and many others previously given from lows, remain buys on big pullbacks, also note, re-added some previously whipsawed ones):

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, at least:
(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 recently Removed, now smaller list for you:
