This time, bull may be real
The optimism could stick this time as investors look at 2002 as a recovery year.
March 8, 2002: 5:17 p.m. ET
By Staff Writer Parija Bhatnagar
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Dead cat bounce or the first inklings of a monster rally: That's the $64,000 question for market pros attempting to make sense of a March stock run that is easing the pain of a frustrating February.
Whatever happens, a month that began with a two-day jump of nearly 500 points in the Dow Jones industrial average could mean that the stock markets are making a statement -- and with some conviction.
"There's been a decisive shift to the upside in market sentiment," said Barry Hyman, chief investment strategist with Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum. "The Dow has done its job and it has made a statement of recovery based upon defensive-style spending, cyclicality and the absence of accounting-related issues for the Dow."
Fellow bull Alan Ackerman, market strategist with Fahnestock & Co., chimes in with the opinion that there's "certainly more fire in the belly" of investors, who are starting to think it's not bad to buy stocks when they're down.
There's been a decisive shift to the upside in market sentiment. The Dow has done its job and its made a statement of recovery.
Barry Hyman, chief investment strategist with Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum.
But "conversely, they're also thinking why hold on to potential hot potatoes past a few strong trading sessions without taking some cash off the table," Ackerman said.
To the nay sayers -- aka, the bears and a few fence-sitters -- the word's out that the sharp run-up is yet another short-lived bear-market rally at a time when the Federal Reserve doesn't have another rate cut left.
"We're in a frenetic short-covering based rally. The jury is still out about how long this is going to last," Bernie Schaeffer, market analyst and chairman of Schaeffer Investment Research, told CNNfn's Street Sweep.
Traders deliver yet another perspective on the mood of the market, suggesting that the bearish tone is actually a self-defeating sentiment -- particularly given the buzz over Friday's unexpected drop in the February unemployment rate that capped a week of strong economic data.
According to Michael Driscoll, senior block trader with Credit Suisse First Boston, this on-the-cusp-of-spring rally will hold because "no one buys it."
"Many people are downplaying it, saying that the underlying fundamentals don't justify stock prices," he added. "That distrust is a good indicator that the rally can travel further than you expect."
Driscoll suggests that those not convinced of a rebound are running afoul of one of the markets' most respected names -- Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who this week strengthened his positive view about the economy.
"Greenspan saying he's optimistic about an economic recovery is as positive as it gets. He may as well jump up and down on Times Square ringing a bell," Driscoll said.
But a funny thing happened Thursday following the Fed chairman's revised appraisal. The market pulled back, with investors appearing to gloss over Greenspan's words and ignoring the pitch from the market cheerleaders.
As key indicators continue to paint a rosier picture of the economy, they could also foreshadow a rise in interest rates as early as May.
Market watchers say it's just an adjustment factor and investors won't get caught up on it. "This perception creates a negative opinion on Wall Street. But over time, it will help the equity markets because it is reflexive of a better earnings picture," said Ehrenkrantz King Nussbaum's Hyman.
We're in a frenetic short-covering based rally. The jury is still out about how long this is going to last.
Bernie Schaeffer, market analyst and chairman of Schaeffer Investment Research.
But even the die-hard optimists contend that earnings concerns - and, to a lesser extent the fear of another Enron-like accounting scandal -- will continue to rock the boat.
"Visibility and valuation could weigh down the indices. There's concern that stocks remain overvalued. In techs, the visibility is poor and valuation is high," Hyman explained, citing Oracle's (ORCL: up $0.20 to $14.20, Research, Estimates) warning last week, and Intel (INTC: up $1.19 to $34.17, Research, Estimates) tightening its first-quarter revenue range. "That's why the Nasdaq (merely) sits in the 1,800s while the Dow moved up dramatically to pre-Sept. 11 levels,"
Accounting concerns haven't gone away, but they're less obvious because a market doesn't like to rehash old stories. The growth versus recession story has pushed the accountability story to the background, said Hyman.
But tensions in the Middle East and the possibility that the United States will expand its war against terror to Iraq are weighty issues with market-moving potential.
"Exogenous factors can't be telegraphed. If a war breaks out in the Middle East, and oil flows are disrupted, or the U.S. experiences another terrorist attack, that will hurt this positive mood," said Driscoll.

No. . .actually. . .I'm taking Warren Buffet's advice. I no-longer worry about the market. Realestate is my bin now. I just leave enough on the sidelines (in the market) to entertain myself. We need a decade or more to overcome this market flop from 98' through 00'. I'm in no hurries. Just wish it came as easy as it came in 98'! Never again. Time to roll back to basics. Hint.

Lessons to learn . . .again. . .>>>>>>>>>>
10 Rules For Technology Investing
As 2002 draws on and reshapes the stock market with its own quirks (Enron, for one), then we look again at the core principles that helped us find winners in 2001 and bring out some of the top companies for now and the future.
The markets today undergo a valuation argument daily, sellers selling today's earnings and buyers buying tomorrow's. Both are right.
No two investors need the same portfolio. A younger recent college grad will have a different portfolio mix than a retired executive.
As a backdrop to investing, it's important to use asset allocation among different types of investments and different risks. Bonds, stocks, real estate, savings, cash. For example, blue chips with slow growth but steady earnings and upstarts with high growth and unpredictable earnings.
But across all the categories, we've found these 10 'rules' to be a good starting point.
1. Earnings matter. Don't pay for promises, pay for actual earnings. Things change too fast to pay for next year's performances. If a company lacks earnings it's higher risk. If higher risk then debate whether or not you're comfortable with that but limit the exposure to higher risk by making it a small part of your overall investment strategy.
2. Don't be wowed with the technology, be wowed with the business model, management team, marketshare, technology and most of all, cash flow and earnings. The best technology doesn't always win. Xerox PARC developed most of the key improvements for PCs and networks but yielded none of the benefit directly to Xerox the company. Look for technologies that companies need to make business more efficient (less cost), to replace outdated methods, to streamline operations, that fix a problem. 'Need to have' technologies, not 'nice to have' technologies.
3. Forget the peaks, study the valleys. Just because a stock is 50% off its high doesn't mean it's a bargain. Don't believe the newspaper headline. As investors we learn more from mistakes sometimes than success. Study a company's ups and downs and economic cycles -- and what is it's price to earnings, P/E, not how far has it fallen from its 52-week high. How far is it off a low and is the low in line with a 'reasonable' valuation? Reasonable being 10x to 30x earnings depending on the growth rate.
4. Listen to what the executives say, but more importantly, listen to what customers say. Look at inventory pile up or order backlog.
5. Learn the difference between 'betting' and 'investing.' Most investors know this by now. If you have to ask then it's betting, no different than playing the slots in Vegas.
6. Diversify investments. Stocks. Bonds. T-Bills. Real estate. In stocks limit exposure to high risk. Examine low, medium and high risk stocks and know why you own any one of them. Know what the company does and how economic cycles help or hurt the company.
7. Cash. How much does the tech company have? Can it pay the bills for several years without selling equity or debt? Does it have a cash-flow positive business? Earnings to sustain itself? How much cash is on hand? Working capital? Debt? (Debt killed Global Crossing and Enron).
8. Stock options. Many tech companies issue stock options and it may dilute the shares outstanding (and earnings) dramatically. Typically 25% to 30% of tech companies are owned by employees. They all want to convert their options to cash some day. Priceline (NASDAQ:PCLN) had tons of options issued to airlines.
9. Establish buying and selling discipline. Always employ a stop-loss to limit your downside. Typical is making it 20% from the cost of the shares or the closing price if the stock climbs. On selling, if the stock has risen a set percentage -- whatever you're comfortable with -- sell some or all. Take profits. You may miss more climb but at least you have limited downside. Or if management shuffles happen quick or earnings fall short, consider selling.
10. Never get emotionally attached to a stock. Love the company's cash flow or earnings but not the stock. There's nothing magical about a ticker symbol. Just because you made x% on a stock last year doesn't mean it's still a great stock or will continue to rise. Technology changes. Some companies can make the change and others don't. Take profits, buy your significant other some flowers or chocolate. Smell the flowers, eat the chocolate. And repeat rules 1 through 10 as needed.

Bush Team Defends U.S. Nuke Plans
By SCOTT LINDLAW
.c The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush's top foreign-affairs advisers say the United States must be prepared to use nuclear weapons to deter attacks involving weapons of mass destruction. But in an effort to ease alarm overseas, they said there were no plans to do so.
``We all want to make the use of weapons of mass destruction less likely,'' national security adviser Condoleezza Rice said Sunday. ``The way that you do that is to send a very strong signal to anyone who might try to use weapons of mass destruction against the United States that they'd be met with a devastating response.''
Secretary of State Colin Powell said the United States has never ruled out using nuclear weapons against a nuclear-armed enemy, a policy he said should deter any would-be attacker.
``We think it is best for any potential adversary out there to have uncertainty in his calculus,'' Powell said.
Rice, Powell and military and congressional leaders were responding to weekend reports that the Pentagon has told Congress it is studying the possible use of nuclear weapons against countries that threaten the United States.
The classified ``nuclear posture review'' sent to Congress says the Pentagon is developing contingency plans for using nuclear weapons against countries that are developing weapons of mass destruction.
The report identified seven nations: China, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Russia and Syria.
On TV talk shows Sunday, administration officials sought to walk a line between asserting America's willingness to use nuclear weapons, and calming the public and allies troubled by suggestions the United States might be moving closer to employing them.
The issue was especially sensitive on a day when Vice President Dick Cheney was leaving on a 12-country tour that includes stops in a number of Arab states certain to be upset about the targeting of Iraq, Libya and Syria.
Powell said on CBS' ``Face the Nation'' that the report emerged from ``prudent'' planning that must ``give some consideration as to the range of options the president should have available to him to deal with those kinds of threats.''
``Right now, today, not a single nation on the face of the earth is being targeted by an American nuclear weapon on a day-to-day basis,'' Powell said.
``We should not get all carried away with some sense that the United States is planning to use nuclear weapons in some contingency that is coming up in the near future,'' he said. ``It is not the case.''
Powell acknowledged the military was considering whether to ``modify or update or change'' current nuclear weapons to meet new threats.
Rice said on NBC's ``Meet the Press'' that the report emphasizes efforts to make the use of nuclear arms less likely through improved intelligence and conventional weapons.
Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stressed that the report is ``not a plan.''
``This preserves for the president all the options that a president would want to have in case this country or our friends and allies were attacked with weapons of mass destruction, be they nuclear, biological, chemical or, for that matter, high explosives,'' Myers said on CNN's ``Late Edition.''
Sen. John Warner, R-Va., top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he would ask the administration Monday to clarify its position. He and Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., a fellow committee member, painted the document as an outline of options for the president.
``Frankly, I don't mind some of these renegade nations (thinking) twice about the willingness of the United States to take action to defend our people and our values and our allies,'' Lieberman said.
But, he added on CNN: ``It's very important for the American people or people around the world not to overreact to the news stories.''
News of the report did trigger consternation and disbelief overseas.
Libya's African affairs minister, Ali Abd al-Salam al-Turiki, told reporters in Cairo he found the report hard to believe.
``I don't think this is true,'' he said. ``I don't think America is going to destroy the world.''
Dmitry Rogozin, a leading Russian lawmaker with close ties to the Kremlin, accused Washington of deliberately leaking word of the report to intimidate Russia.
``They've brought out a big stick - a nuclear stick that is supposed to scare us and put us in our place,'' Rogozin said on NTV television.

broderick. . .they did show the footage of the Boeing hitting the Pentagon, this past week. As for putting sand down on the grass of the area at the Pentagon. . .that may have been to absorb any existing fuel that didn't ignite (if that's possible) or to just improve access to the Pentagon for emergency and construction vehicles. At any rate, interesting commentary on that site. Did you know that many of the photographs negatives of the assassination of JFK were kept in a safe in the WTC. . .and now permanently destroyed? Not only did the history of the world make a significant change on September 11th, 2001, significant American records of history were also destroyed. As for this latest debate on nuclear bombs and "contingency plans" for their use. . .how can any "Superpower" exist with nuclear capability. . .and have no plans on how/when to use them? I'm not sure how that information slipped out into the public's hands but I'm sure it will have to be countered by the Feds. Listing the names of "7" nations could be nothing more than propaganda (as takes place in most wars) to intimidate any country with intentions of escalating the war against terrorists (again. . .please define who determines are the terrorists). There are many sides and dimensions to all stories.

Arch. . .in lieu of these recent warnings. . .:Report: U.S. Uses Sensors Amid al Qaeda Nuclear Fear
Reuters
WASHINGTON (March 3) -- Fearing Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network may be making progress in obtaining nuclear weapons, the Bush administration has been placing sophisticated radiation sensors at U.S. border positions and key locations around Washington, the Washington Post reported on Sunday.
The administration also has placed the elite U.S. commando unit Delta Force on a new standby alert to seize any nuclear materials that the sensors may detect, the newspaper added. The Delta Force has been given the task of killing or disabling anyone with a suspected nuclear device and turning the bomb over to scientists to be disarmed, the Post added.
The sensors, known as gamma ray and neutron flux detectors, have been deployed since November at U.S. borders, certain overseas facilities and choke points around Washington, the newspaper said, citing U.S. government policymakers.
The sensors also have been used at designated "national-security special events" such as the Olympics in Utah, the Post said. Allied countries, including Saudi Arabia, have rushed new detectors to their borders after U.S. intelligence warnings, the newspaper added.
Up until now, the devices were carried only by nuclear search teams dispatched when extortionists claim to have radioactive materials, the Post reported.
The Post reported that President George W. Bush has ordered his national security team to give nuclear terrorism priority over every other threat to the United States after an October briefing by CIA Director George Tenet on al Qaeda's nuclear aspirations.
"Clearly ... the sense of urgency has gone up," the newspaper quoted a senior policymaker on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons terrorism as saying.
Another official was quoted as saying, "The more you gather information, the more our concerns increased about al Qaeda's focus on weapons of mass destruction of all kinds."
The consensus U.S. government view is that Saudi-born extremist Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network likely has acquired the lower-level radionuclides strontium 90 and cesium 137, which cannot produce a nuclear detonation but are radioactive contaminants. Conventional explosives could scatter them in what is known as a radiological dispersion device, better known as a "dirty bomb."
The number of deaths that might follow is hard to estimate but would probably be modest but it could be a potent weapon of terror, the paper added.

One has to wonder where it all ends? Will the world ever go on as "usual" or will we be faced with these "threats" until doomsday arrives? We are certainly at a pinnacle for concern. Israel and Palestinians are certainly at no loss for violence. And we've all been watching what's going on with India and the Muslims/Hindus and Jewish people. The "civil" unrest is not in short supply. The terrorists win the war when they can create enough panic in high places. That's all they really wanted to do in the first place. After-all, they know which hornet's nests to stir. Those with nuclear capability. . .and known enemies. In this war at this stage. . .propaganda rules.

I've been watching that company for over 4 years. They were once "pumped" by someone the SEC has been all over for the past three years. Long story. If they want their company to succeed. . .they need to get off their duffs and start producing what they claim to have. Being "debt free" doesn't account for much. What it typically means is nothing is being produced or sold.

ageiche. . .Whoever wrote that article did a good job. Obviously, someone who is quite passionate about the economy and the study of it. One thing I believe may have been appropriate to add into the opinions would be "the other side's" opinions. The article does a terrible job of explaining the thought processes of Greenspan and the FOMC. One has to remember, when dealing with the masses there are certain ways to communicate. I'll leave it at that. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the read.

Now all we need is a little coverage on LFZA. A little media exposure would be nice. The stock will probably remain a dead issue until/unless they take tenatious moves to get re-listed on the OTC BB.

Arch. . .no doubt! Take a look at this chart:
http://host.wallstreetcity.com/wsc2/Chart.html?Symbol=.DJI&Timespan=260
I don't think we've seen a double low. However, would it be logical to assume that there would be an event comparable to the September 11th attacks that would bring the markets (prematurely) down to the low in September? I don't think so. What we have witnessed is an event that never took place before in American history. That is a matter that folks have to factor in. Economic indicators are improving on a steady basis. Particularly the numbers with any organizations that have to do with the "housing" industry. Keep an eye on Home Depot. . .Lowe's and even Kmart & WM. Strong housing starts with existing home sales reaching record levels. . .leaves these industries with the potential for astronomical gains in earnings (home improvements and supplies). Also, the government has announced that they will be stepping up their production of defense missiles since the attack on Afghanistan have depleted stores. Lockheed and several other defense missile contractors (to the government) could be well worth watching. Just my two cents. And that's about what it's worth!

EZ. . .LOL! I'm beginning to believe we give the Arab countries too much credit for having "high tech" knowledge. After-all. . .they used our own airships to bomb the WTC and Pentagon. I'm also beginning to believe the only potential they have is to ride a camel. . .over the desert. . .contemplating their next assault on Americans by becoming a U.S. citizen. . .getting educated in our system. . .kissing some butt for a few years. . .and then bringing out their real blood. It's going to be impossible to "root out evil" in this world. It's all over the place! Nonetheless. . .there has to be a pinnacle to it all at some point in history. The sooner the better. Prolong the doggon thing and it can only serve to destroy the entire human race.
Peace. . .
