  2. Hell, 1100 shares of GLW for me is size.....just a little diehard piker here.

    That's going to change over time though - just a matter of time before I grow up - if I don't grow old first.

    Above all - keep on scratching !!! :D see *profile* for more info on 'scratching'

    Not really so surprising, considering how far down the bar has been lowered.

    Europeans all wobbly and out of it again waitinng to see what we do.

    I wonder if this is the last chance for shorts to change into a clean diaper.

  7. The Casino is alive and well.

    Looks like the most sensible ploy for the bears is to migrate from trading the US to the European stocks. The Europeans seem to be far more cautious about 'the new bull' getting a grip.

    Looks like the shrewd bears are either out of the market enjoying themselves or are quitely long. Personally I think the Dec 02 highs will be broken and then that's the time to commit money to the short side. Or we do nothing till Sep onwards and if that happens watch people go out of business left right and center. A good bet looks like 3-6 month puts on ET and SCH because if the mkt does stay static or go lower these stocks will likely get a lot of heat.

    Remember the days when we could regually take a $1 or more out of QQQ (over a day or 2), now most people are fighting for ticks.

    Anyone got any ideas of a good career change?

    This downdraft is mostly KO, MMM, and raising security level to Yellow, IMHO.
