Jim Goodman's "The Right Side of the PSYCLE sm"
Stocks/Industry Groups Timing Newsletter, and Education service
"The Teaching Newsletter"....just Learn the Patterns and Concepts Taught....then View the Charts, and Choose from sec. (3), (6), (7) ideas.... NEWSLETTER, ended formally, back in mid-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), dated: 9:30 am, PST, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2000

Important Note: this "NL" has No longer been publically available nor disseminated, for a while, due to gestapo, uncaring, ridiculous, illogical, NASD and SEC rules, and the uncaring, inconsiderate, and thoughtless nature of the brokerage firm with which I am currently associated....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 'proof' of the value and excellent timing experience of my "PSYCLE sm" concepts and teachings....

1) "PSYCLE SENSE sm": new:

Well, last weekend's new chartbooks, show more bullishness, as if the rally is for real, S.T. anyway, , with the 'defensive index' and 'telephone utilities' and 'metals', shaping up, as I seem, as usual, to be the only guy around seeing....and, the 'NYSE unweighted index' looking EVB-like....and, i see a plethora of very depressed bases on the AMEX exchange....hmmmm....plus, tons of NASDAQ previously-given-herein-as-puts-near-their-highs Techs, have already fallen towards their initial downside targets, and/or 200 DMA, as expected/predicted.... but even all this said, I still found more Puttables, in I.G.R., in section (7) below....

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

a) Important Industry Group (Rotation) notes:
1) I agree with one recent B-firm, Fri. CNBC 11 am, in disliking most extended Biotech stocks, and I added the BTK index, and had already given you some extended Drug and Biotech stocks, as puttable.... 2) note further potential breakdowns and Put Gains for our Oil Services given you first/only herein from recent tops.... 3) with our S.T.-correct buy on the T-bond, 98 to 102 already, recent headline, L.A.T. 10/26, "3-month T-bill rate, highest since Jan. 1991"....again illustrating, as in my "booklet", the value of intra-industry group rotation and open-mindedness, ay ? ....4) note more pops among our we-predicted-here-first-only "cap. goods/trans./equip." I.G.'s.... 5) and, looks like, again, my first-to-foresee-from-lows call on the depressed Retail stocks will come to fruition, several remain buyable not much lower than here, still, yay....see section (3) and (6) below, as usual....

b) more, misleading, sensationalized, Late, and/or improper/incorrect comments from the Financial Media, Reporters, etc.:
1) well duh: L.A.T. 10/26, headline, "Telecom Sector on the Edge", with a box titled, "Trouncing the Telecoms''....oh, so NOW it's negative, but at its high it was super-positive, right ? the pattern rarely changes....so we start to look to buy, yes ? ....2) same L.A.T. headline, "SGold, Silver drop on concerns the Euro has further to fall", in effect, giving 3 items likely to bottom and bounce soon, as 'the 95 %' begin to go super-negative, yes ? ....3) Tom (dont get me started) Petruno, 10/27 L.A.T., hinting his opinion, that PE's of Tech. stocks remain much higher than, say, at 1972's highs - even though many of their stocks are already down -50 % and more, dig ? of course, he only says this, AFTER unpredicted-by-him drops, and, right near what I see as, EVB's, at least S.T., get it ? what a maroon....

4) amazing, CNBC's , Mon. 12:23, actually said, "next up, we'll be looking at some signals the NASDAQ may or may not have been giving people last week...." I'm not kidding....do these people ever listen to what they are saying ?

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) recent Barrons article is now questioning AMZN's accounting policies, etc. - as usual, only after big stock price drop, dig ? now, think about it: all those overpaid analysts, all but sitting in AMZN's offices - how could they miss such a 'fundamental' item ? ....next....

d) more, likely late, incorrect, and/or misleading, comments, from Brokerage firms, NL writers, Analysts, economists, Money Managers, etc.:
1) L.A.T. 10/15, those two lousy stock-pickers of theirs, loved DOX @ 66, and LEH at 59+, way up off much lower bases.... 2) Alex, Brown upgraded the Papers....at least they did it 'somewhat' near lows, good for them....rare.... 3) 10/30 Multex, interviewed a guy I do respect, Phil Roth, L.T. of MSDW, tech. analyst, who says we are oversold (duh), but still need to see more work, real obvious and disappointing stuff....then he likes, EMC, GLW, SEBL, on my Put list, and, CSCO @ 59, EMLX @ 148, and hates XRX, down here....oy....he used to be so good....but now, likely, just a pawn/shill who is not allowed to say anything much for legal fears, don't get me started....

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:

bal. puts DVN (82 to 50+) for 150% G....1/2 pos. calls LEA (20+ to 26-) for Q 125% G....all puts PDS (39 to 28) for 100% G....bal. calls CCU (45 to 56-) for VVQ 90% G....bal. puts SFY (41+ to 30+) for VVVQ 111% G....bal. puts FLEX (42 to 32) for VVQ 100% G....1/2 pos. calls UNP (38 to 42++) for 50% G....all puts SZA (51 to 43+) for Q 66% G....all puts BXP (43 to 39) for Q 44% G....all puts BHI (38 to 32+) for 60% G....1/2 pos. CIN (33- to 29) for VQ 55% G....bal. puts SII (85 to 66++) for 90% G....1/2 pos. stk.on.mgn. HLIT (10 to 15-) for VVVVVQ 90% G....1/2 pos. calls CPB (24++ to 29) for 60% G ....all puts TOT (79+ to 69) for Q 50% G.... 1/2 pos. puts PWER (84- to 64+) for Q 90% G....all puts BTK index (755 to 690-) for VVVVVQ % G....

and/but, longs, LNUX, AII, FFA ?, and, puts, OAT, MTG, for very quick, very small losses, normally of small overall consequence to a properly diversified L.T. portfolio, except recently perhaps....which, again, normally presages much better performance forward, yes ?

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:

APN @ 5-, BKC ny, BTC @ 2+, DCN @ 20+, DLTK @ 6, 1/2 pos. FCM @ 0.625, 1/2 pos. JWN @ 15, 1/2 pos. LGTO @ 9, 1/2 pos. MDS @ 13++, 1/2 pos. MU @ 30, 1/2 pos. PLUG ny, 1/2 pos. REY @ 17+, SR @ 12+, 1/2 pos. SVRN @ 6+, 1/2 pos. XLA @ 10+ ?

"Repeats": (some of these are/were '1/2 size positions): AAI. @ 4, AAPL @ 18+, ADIC @ 11++, AM @ 16++, AN @ 5 3/4, AZC @ 0.875, BGO @ 0.405, BGP @ 13-, BNP @ 8, CN @ 4, CSCQ @ 3+, CRDS @ 5++, DDR @ 12, DG @ 15, DL @ 10, DPH @ 14-, ENN @ 6, FFA no ?, FMT @ 3 3/16, GENE @ 14, GLGC @ 20-, GLT @ 10, GRA @ 3 3/8, HDG @ 1.00, HLIT @ 10, IFMX @ 3 3/4, IHK @ 1-, LBRT @ 19- ?, LU @ 20+, MDS @ 13++, MLG @ 6 1/4, MOT @ 20++, MRCH @ 4+, NOVL @ 8.06, OCN @ 5.47, ORB @ 7 5/8, PAP @ 1.15, PDG @ 8-, PGA @ 2.43, PKS @ 14+, REV @ 6.06, SKS @ 9-, MWY @ 6 1/4, SOL @ 4, STEI. @ 2-, USU @ 4 1/8, VIXL @ 4 1/2, WH @ 11...."buy (only) low", right ?

** Important: took, , 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): ATSN @ 42+, D. @ 60, HCA @ 41+, MAPS @ 31++, 1/2 pos. THC @ 39++, the BTK biotech index @ 755+,

"Repeats": (some are/were '1/2 pos.') EXPD @ 49++, HSY ?, IPL @ 23+, KMI. @ 40-, PNK @ 22+, RKY @ 66-, SANM @ 110+, SKYW @ 50, VRTX @ 96+,

and/but, took, 'anything already way down', and, SPC, ADVP, 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 given you herein, in sections (6) and (7) below, we "just Missed", CBE, SRR, PER, HPC, HOMS, YELL, MZ, CLE, EMN, USB, CC, TUTS, LDG, SWC, as Longs/Buys near very recent lows, and, AMGN, MXIM, MCDT, WPI, ESV, THX, DGX, INRS, MLNM, SANM, CHK, 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, yes ?

*** 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):

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 ?) CHINA, AAPL, MRCH 4.44, 5.44, CMH, FMT, INTC, IHK, RAD, ORB 7 1/2, LBRT, STEI, FFA 20.18, PMTC, MLG, AM, CN, ASL, AU, BTO....

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):

Puttables specifically given you herein, many which are Falling/further since last time here:
check their patterns out:
lots more nice drops for you: BTK index 760, 683 nice (S), PWER -8, +2, VRTX -5, SII. -4 (S), PDS -4 (sow), MAPS -2, THC -2, IVX -1 5/8, HP -1 1/2 (S), HCA -1 1/2, ATSN -2, SFY -1 (S), XOI. -2, BHI. -1 (S), PDS -1 (S), DVN (S), TOT (S), NBL, lower, since last NL here....and, ADRX, IDTI, EXAR, GILD, EXTR, CEI, COF, NBL, CBL, CHK, ENE, approached/hit/below their 200 DMA....and, ADCT 16, SUPX 28-, DGX 84, PPS 35-, QLTI. 46, MIKE 18+, FORR 39, HAL 35, ESV 31, CAM 55, RMBS 43, even lower still....

* 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"):

: VRTX +5, EMC -5 1/2, PWER +7, JNPR -15 (S), VRTX +4, SANM +11, DDIC, BRL, NBL +1 1/2, COGN -1, RKY +2, -2, GR -1, +1 1/2, AZA +3, -3 1/2, KMI, ITWO. -14, +3, EXPD +1, CIN +1, VRTS, FLEX +5, -1 1/2, HSY +1 1/2, EMC +9 1/2, SKYW +2, JNJ -2 1/2, XOI. +9....this ends our 'Downside' follow-ups for this NL....

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