A nice little gain for being 100(S).

Let's hope for a positive jobs report! Even if it's negative, it shouldn't have too much of a impact. But if it comes in at above expectations- LOOK OUT FOR SOME GREEN!!!

God Bless!:^

I'm flying back to the states tomorrow and will be "on the road" through Monday. I could very well make a telephone transfer on Monday for Tuesday, depending on how the market fairs. If I do, I will not be able to post it on here.

Nevertheless, this will be my allocation effective Monday:

30C

40 S

30 I

I'm back on-line with a new laptop which I purchased today, and settled into a hotel room with my Wife in southern MS. I'm pretty well over my jet-lag. It wasn't just too bad. Now that I'm back on-line, it will be nice to once again hang with y'all and ride out this roller coaster we've been on these past couple of weeks. I'm still:

30C

40S

30I

I may make a change once I have a better grasp on what has been transpiring in the markets.

It's nice to be back in the states!

God Bless:^

Hey Rod!
I'm sort of thinking to purchase a laptop. What did you purchase? Tell me about it?

I purchased a Compaq PresarioV2000 Model V2140US. I got it at Best Buy for about $1,300.

You can see the V2000 on Compaq's website.

I've been eyeing this particular laptop for a few months now, but wanted to wait until I returned to the states to buy it.

It's very lightweight- 5.2 pounds. (a few ounces more with the battery- 4 to 5 hour life). I'm going wireless now- my hotel has free access.

Overall, it's a really nice and affordable laptop. I've been on it a couple hours now and it's barely warm.

You should be able to see the different specs on Compaq'a site.

I'm stick'n to my guns. We'll have a bounce soon enough.

We got our little bounce today, as I suspected we would. The January seasonality data has been OFF THE TABLE big time! So, I'm no longer paying attention to it. I hope you're doing the same.

Hopefully after the holiday weekend we'll get another bounce on Tuesday. Historically speaking, Tuesdays are good for the (S). I sure wish history would start to repeat itself again.

I have a feeling that (I) will do alright on Monday. That's why I'm remaining 30(I). GOTTA still have chips on the table somewhere, even though the US markets will be closed.

Enjoy today's gains & God Bless!:^

me too, but I wasn't going to admit it first ! o

It will problalby be easier for new people to find the site, tho, if they don't explore all the forums.

Just seeing who was paying attention.

I'm still in a "holding pattern" guys, trying to recup some of JAN losses. It seems that the (I) Fund may be on the rebound with the dollar being down against the major currencies. But that could very well be short term. I may move a little out of (S) and into (I) for Friday. I will make that decision tomorrow.

I do think we are rock-n-roll'n... I've already broke even and recupped Jan's losses. It was pretty painful being fully invested, but I most certainly had no intention of selling on those losses. Now that I've gained them back, the sky is the limit! (Staying positive, because I have a feeling that this up coming week is going to be GREEN.) Bear in mind, Iraq will be announcing their election results on Sunday. This could very wellhelp to propel the markets on Monday, setting a positive tone for the week. Then again, we could have some angry insurgents with the outcome. Even if we do, I believe it won't have much of an impact.

We'll just have to see how it goes.

God Bless:^
