1) "PSYCLE SENSE sm": new:

Looking back, the last few months have easily been one of the toughest periods I have ever experience, with many issues not doing what they should....

As I mentiuoned first here recently, I.I. bullish/bearish and % above MA's figures are improving, technically, proving again this potential rally is broadening out....may again be good for our longside ideas....

As happens ever election summer, L.A.T. did the usual study of 'what might happen if either Dem. or Rep. party wins in Nov., vs. "the S & P", etc. And, the economists polled have evidently predicted 11 of the last 13 election results (don't get me started), back to 1948....But they supposedly have been trying to use the S & P's amount of rise/fall, to 'predict' which party will win in Nov., especially incumbents re-running....So what, big deal, of no "D.A.P.P.V." anyway, for many reasons....Then, they compunded their ignorance and wasted space, by giving lists of supposed "political portfolios", for when/if Dem. or Rep. candidates win, after Nov. Amazing....just for the record, let's see how they do down the road....they list, "Gore stocks", as: AOL, SUNW, WSTNA, SEVN, LNC, HRB, and, "Bush stocks", as, MSFT, BPA, GP, WY, STT, ASF....supposedly 'linking' certain I.G.'s to certain political parties....gee, like, they linked Health stocks to Dem., (but) as those stocks fell, as their party did well, right ? need I go on ? Oh, and their big headline was, "bullish news, regardless of which party wins", which should be a cautionary note, ay ?

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

a) Important Industry Group (Rotation) notes:
1) if you have missed very recent pop in Golds, shame on you....how many other times have I been right on this I.G. 4 U herein ? we were, yet again, the first/only again recently ....2) the "BTK" Biotech stock index looks nicely toppy again.... 3) looks like I was, again, the first/only to give depressed Aero./Def. from lows herein for you, like, LEA, GSTRF, etc. ...4) action in stocks like, HWP, 'beating the street' eps, etc., continues to illustrate 'sucker-em-in' action among more than a few extended 'big-names'....

b) more, misleading, sensationalized, Late, and/or improper/incorrect comments from the Financial Media, Reporters, etc.:
1) CNBC's new ignorant reporter gal, Wed. 9:33, Lynn something, incorrectly said, "the price of Corel stock jumped this morning on new of a new CEO....", when in fact, it rose 1-and-2-days ago, BEFORE any news came out, dig ? then, she compounded this by also incorrectly saying, "Boeing shares continued its sharp drop again today, on news it bought Tribune's subsidiary, down to 46 3/4 now....", when, in fact, BA stock is way UP recently, from 34 to 50....amazing, huh....God forbid they would acvtually hire a neat gal some day.... 2) Thu. CNBC's Obrien/Bauman, 9;48, said one of the most incorrect statements I have ever heard, that, about "RSH", "this is about as attractive a stock chart one can see, especially among Retail stocks, in a long time...." Gee, I guess our TOM, KM, ASHW, CNS, etc. look(ed) worse ? and, where was he when the Retail stocks were at bottoms ? I rest my case....again.... 3) PIsani after close, Thu., said, "an index of ALL, every single Energy-related stocks, hit an all-time high....you NEVER see a whole I.G. rise together like that....." Uh, excuse me ? wrong...it happens often.,...it is just that YOU miss them....

c) more incorrect/misleading/sensationalized, and/or improper comments, from Fundamentalists/Companies, newspapers/magazines, etc., vs. illogical/Contrary/Unlinkable, past/present/future stock price moves:
1) you know we don't do 'news' trading, but with VZ's strike close to settlement, Thu., might COVD, NPNT, RTHM, which broke earlier, all bottom and pop V.S.T. ? we shall see....

d) more, likely late, incorrect, and/or misleading, comments, from Brokerage firms, NL writers, Analysts, economists, Money Managers, etc.:
1) Goldman, Scahs says no way any further I.R. rises for balance of 2000.... 2) in a rare bearish report on CNBC, John Roque, Wed., Arnhold Cp., dislikes the Biotechs, calling for -20 % correction.... 3) Wed., CNBC's Pisani, 8:35, says "we are seeing much, much higher levels of 'big block trades' in WSM, HD, WMT, recently, he says, a sign of insitutions wanting to get out....there is nothing wrong with these companies, yet big block selling in Retailers...." ....4) hey, good news: the aptly-named Motley Fools, love SEBL up here -- you know what to do about that, yes ?

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....
