If your scenario is right then none of has to worry, because money will be worthless and nobody will be trading stocks and everyone will be in the same boat or breadline. IMO
Rheeman;
Your humble opinion holds more weight then anything I know. Keep right on posting, I'm learning with every thing you say.
I don't think drinking and posting is a problem, it's when you cross the center line, you get busted.;-}
Billion shares on OTC stock;
Most people seem to think the party is here to stay. Philip J. Roth, the chief technical analyst at Miller Tabak & Company, reports that the latest Consensus Inc. survey of stock index futures traders shows 67 percent are bullish. "That is," he reports, "higher than it was going into the 2000 top." As for market newsletter writers, "you have to go back to the first quarter of 1987" to find bears as scarce as they are now.
Mr. Roth also notes that we now have bulletin- board stocks trading more than a billion shares a day: "This is the stuff of tops."
Tuesday is the end of the month and the end of the quarter, a lot of jocking portfolio's. I think the Nazdaq still has room to fall. Rheeman, thanks for your thoughts on the bottom (1750), I'll be looking for that in the next 2 weeks, when I get my IRA back into the market.
Rheeman;
That post was for info. only. I know there are some new investers and thought this might save them some hard knocks. I don't short and the last time I got a margin call was the last time I bought on margin.
In ref. to the other board, it was funny because your strong reply was to a post that was deleted.
This is Going to Hurt
[The bull and bear camps have rarely been so polarized. One of them is going to get pounded.]
CNN/Money/by Justin Lahart/September 26, 2003
Somebody has the market dreadfully wrong. When they realize it, there will be hell to pay.
There are always camps of bullish and bearish investors pushing their beliefs on which way stocks are headed, but rarely have things been so polarized as they are now.
Both the Nasdaq Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange released short-interest figures earlier this week. On the Nasdaq, the number of shares sold short through Sept. 15 rose by 2 percent from the period ended Aug. 15. This despite an 8 percent rise in the Nasdaq Composite -- the sort of rally that usually sends short seller racing for cover.
On the NYSE, short interest fell by 1.5 percent. But it is still historically high, coming in at around 1.57 percent of total market capitalization according to Rhodes Analytics.
Bullish commentators regularly suggest that this heavy short interest is a powder keg, and that it means the market is set up for a huge rally to the upside.
To bet against a stock by going short, an investor borrows the shares from his broker and sells them, hoping to buy them back later at a lower price and return them. The difference between the price he gets to keep.
But when the shortseller gets it wrong, and the price of the stock goes up, he has to buy back the stock at a higher price. When things get out of hand, he's going to buy in a hurry, which only makes the stock go higher still. Such short squeezes can be powerful.
If there is an opposite to selling short, it is buying on margin -- borrowing money from the broker in order to buy more shares than you can with your cash at hand. And margin debt, too, is rising. At NYSE-member firms in August it rose to $149.66 billion, up 0.8 percent from July and 11.3 percent from the beginning of the year.
Through July, the NASD has reported that Nasdaq margin debt grew to $26 billion, up from $5.1 billion at the start of the year. This prompted to Nasdaq to issue a warning on the dangers of buying on margin.
Put simply, if you borrow money to buy stocks, and your stocks go down sharply, your broker, worried about keeping its principal, may issue a margin call: If you can't come up with additional cash, it will liquidate your stocks. It can send stocks down as sharply as short squeezes can send them up.
Both shorting and buying on margin are dangerous business. Investors who practice either really need to know what they're doing. Alas, often they do not. Somebody really is sitting on a powder keg. We just don't know who it is yet.
Does anyone use 20 day EMA? Look at the QQQ with 20 and 50 day EMA.
Matt;
Keep up the good work, these people are getting spoiled, sure is a lot better than the alternative where most of the posters came from. I have dial-up and about a dozen favorites and can't remember being dropped in the middle of a post.
EMA, nice chart, good news and nice volume.
Jake;
Take care of yourself pal, health is number one. IMHO the market should be flat for the next week (end of the quarter adjustments) then we can kick some assets.
Rheeman, thank you.
Kind of watching, real close.
Rheeman;
Do you think the S&P will test 1000 or 990?

Microsoft to curb chat room abuses
By Chris Nuttall in London
Published: September 24 2003 0:01 / Last Updated: September 24 2003 0:01
Microsoft is closing internet chat rooms because their misuse by spammers, paedophiles and others is damaging the reputation of its MSN service and the internet as a whole.
The decision is the latest attempt by Microsoft to increase trust among users of its software. It has vowed to tackle computer viruses that have exploited weaknesses in its Windows operating system and infected millions of computers. It has also declared war on unsolicited e-mails by prosecuting spammers and introducing improved filtering of junk e-mails in its programs.
The MSN Chat service will close worldwide from October 14, apart from in the US, Canada and Japan, where it will become subscription-only, with users providing their personal details.
Geoff Sutton, MSN general manager for Europe, said it had become clear that unmoderated chat was not safe.
"The two big issues we have been dealing with have been adults 'grooming' children in chat rooms and spam getting in that is pornographic in some way," he said. "So we have come to consider that this is not a good experience for our users and we have tried to do the right thing by showing our responsible leadership position."
Chat rooms have also achieved notoriety in the financial world, where unscrupulous investors have exploited them to ramp up share prices or attempt to discredit companies anonymously.
MSN Chat has rooms under categories such as music, sports and entertainment. Yesterday, its romance section was being sub-let to bondage "dungeons", "swingers" and adult chat.
Chat involves conversations typed between computer users over the internet in "rooms" of special interest.
Spammers have increasingly used chat rooms to direct people to pornographic sites. Cases of child abuse have also resulted from meetings arranged online by paedophiles.
Microsoft believes making chat a subscription service in the US, Canada and Japan will make it less anonymous, as users will have to enter their credit card details. It felt it did not have enough users in other countries to sustain subscription chat.
Mr Sutton said Microsoft had millions of European users of the chat service in Europe but it was now concentrating its efforts on its one-to-one instant messaging service, with 22m users in Europe and 100m worldwide.
MSN's UK rival, Freeserve, criticised the decision, saying Microsoft appeared unwilling to follow its example and invest in moderators to make chat safe. It said it was unclear how the initiative sat with the Microsoft's instant messaging service, which is also chat-based.
But child safety campaigners welcomed the move. "This is a world first, and a momentous announcement," said John Carr of Britain's NCH children's charity. "Here we have one of the world's leading internet companies acknowledging that open, free, unmoderated chat cannot be made completely safe for children."
Chris Atkinson, internet safety expert at the UK's National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said: "This announcement is a very positive step forward and will help close a major supply line for sex abusers who go to great lengths to gain access to innocent children by grooming them on the internet."

The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE ~ Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.
16 YEARS OF AGE ~ Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE ~ That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE ~ Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE ~ Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
An English professor wrote the words, "Woman without her man is nothing," on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote:
"Woman! Without her, man is nothing."
It's lady's day today:
~Beauty of a Woman~
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With passing years -- only grows.
Rheeman;
Thank you for your DD and opinion on the $Comp.
Harold was an old man, he was sick, and he was in the hospital. Anyway,
there was this one young nurse that just drove him crazy. Every time she
came in, she would talk to him like he was a little child.
She would say in a patronizing tone of voice, "And how are we doing this
morning, or are we ready for a bath, or are we hungry?" Old Harold had had
enough of this particular nurse.
One day, Old Harold had received breakfast, and pulled the juice off the
tray, and put it on his bed side stand. He had been given a Urine Bottle to
fill for testing. The juice was apple juice. So..... you know where the
juice went.
Well, the nurse came in a little later and picked up the urine bottle. She
looks at it. "My, but it seems we are a little cloudy today....."
At this, Old Harold snatched the bottle out of her hand, pops off the top,
and drinks it down, saying, "Well, I'll run it through again, and maybe I
can filter it better this time."
The nurse fainted and Old Harold just smiled......

Recently, when a Panel of Doctors at a hospital was asked to vote on
adding a new wing, this is what happened: .
The allergists voted to scratch it.
.
The dermatologists preferred no rash moves.
.
The gastroenterologists had a gut feeling about it.
.
The neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve.
.
The obstetricians stated they were laboring under a misconception.
.
The ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
.
The pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!"
.
The pediatricians said, "Grow up."
.
The proctologists said, "We are in arrears."
.
The psychiatrists thought it was madness.
.
The surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
.
The radiologists could see right through it.
.
The internists thought it was a hard pill to swallow.
.
The plastic surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."
.
The podiatrists thought it was a big step forward.
.
The urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.
.
The anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas.
.
And the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
.
The HMOs killed it anyway

THE DACHSHUND & THE LEOPARD
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet
dachshund along for company.
One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the
dachshund discovers that he is lost.
Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with
the obvious intention of having lunch. The dachshund thinks, "I'm in deep
trouble now! Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by and
immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the
approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly,"Boy,
that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of
terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the
leopard. "That was close. That dachshund nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree
figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection
from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dachshund saw him heading after
the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a
deal for himself with the leopard.The leopard is furious at being made a
fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to
happen to that conniving canine."
Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and
thinks "What am I going to do now?"
But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers,
pretending he hasn't seen them yet... and just when they get close enough to
hear the dachshund says......................
"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me
another leopard."
REMEMBER: IF YOU CAN'T DAZZLE THEM WITH BRILLIANCE, BAFFLE THEM WITH
BULLSHIT !!
Three blondes (natural blondes) died and found themselves standing before
St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had
to tell him what Easter was. The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday
where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he turned her away.
The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and
exchange gifts."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he turned her away.
The third blonde said she knew what Easter is, and St. Peter said, "So, tell
me."
She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish
festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples
when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung
Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb
behind a very large boulder..."
St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good!"
Then the blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder
and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of
basketball."
