Can't trust the MM at this point. RS and then dropped the price from over $100 to $7. They're gonna have to eat beans and tortillas for a while. They hurt a LOT of people.
MM games. Put a bid in for $5. They want to play, let's play!!! This is such a small portion of my portfolio they'll fix global warming before I sell.
a lead is little more than an idea until it's turned into a opportunity. The junk mail you get is the result of a lead, also you were 'qualified'. Need to see sales not leads. BTW, I have a full allocation on this one.
Coming up on halfway through the 4th qtr. Any news on sales?
Great buying opportunity coming
Newbie Here so please forgive any breaches in protocol.
LOVE THIS TECH. A friend pointed this one out to me a few months ago. I believe this company has phenomenal upside.
Brings tears to my eyes when I think of the lives this could have saved in all the school shootings had it been available and deployed.
Yep, still have the spreadsheets. Buttwhippin??? You guys need to come down for 2 a days in August. Go back thanking St. Jude ya survived.
We have 2 seasons... 'summer' and 'something a little cooler'
Cooler is a relevant term...
My wife and I took a vacation to Delaware a few weeks ago. All I heard is 'ya should been here last week, highs in the 90's'.
While we were there, it was ~66 every night...
Life's tough in Delaware... One week in the 90's....
Texas Electric (the guys that steal from me and supply electricity) claim the average daily temp was 101. The humidity was darn near that too...
Wish my IQ was as high as my Electric bill (they can measure in the 300's, right?)... Hell... I'd settle for something that matches my water bill in the 170's.
Might want to take a look at the Fidelity spreadsheet. There's a couple of values that don't quite match for FSAGX.
Does 2 bachelors equal 1 doctor's???
ROFLMAO...
I haven't kept up with football since Tim Landry retired.
#1 against #2 in preseason could be a blowout... All it takes is a few butterflies...
If Texas stays healty and true to form, maybe we'll see you in the Cotton Bowl.
I just wish my Aggies could get some real national exposure.
A&M got plenty of my money... It's time for some entertainment.
Thanks,
Dwain
Hi Ken - FSAGX ain't doin' too bad either...
Oh yeahhhhhh...
My uncle had the album. We would listen to it endlessly.
Tennessee Ernie Ford, what a great voice. Edie Adams too.
What about Mitch Miller (Sing along with Mitch)? Berl Ives?
Those were some great ones!
Route 66, Have Gun will Travel, Checkmate... Great shows when I was a kid.
My grandparents were exact opposites. One set would listen/watch the great singers, the other set would watch boxing/wrestling.
I think it's called balance. ;)
Do I see the makings of a Rally??
FEMKX, FLATX, FNARX, FSAGX, FSENX, FSESX, FSHCX, FSNGX, FSRBX, FAESX, all in ascending triangles.
FSHCX appears to be in a rally.
Sorry there's no charts, all I could get to work is a hyperlink

Dual Monitors will cure that...<g>
Hi Ken - Have I missed the post explaining the 'Gold Rush'?
Flota, I've taken a look at FSAGX and GOX. It looks like the fund consistently underperforms the CBOE Gold Index. CBOE is up 200% in 3 yrs, vs. FSAGX up 90%.
It seems like a lot of risk for a fund returning that is less than half the index it's designed to mirror.
The current fund manager has been at the helm for 3 years.
What's your take on it?
It's been wet the last couple of days. At least it's cooled off enough the electric co. doesn't need to use rollilng blackouts to keep the grid up!
The freedom funds look like they are a bit lacking the first quarter/half of the year. They almost look like a 'rolling' stock.
The market is hot!!!
Fidelity Funds showing a cup and handle formation (or at least the ones I track). These funds go back to the highs of 2K, starting or about to start the first leg of their growth from the formation.
Sorry, I couln't get multiple charts to show in the same post. Open the links in a different window.
FBMPX, Fidelity MultiMedia
FJSCX, Fidelity Japan Small Co.
FOSFX, Fidelity Overseas

Monthly time frame.
There's a lot of Fidelity Funds showing a 'cup and handle' pattern, some back to 2000.
New support line for FSAGX?
Hello kgoodrich. How about MRGE?
Thanks... If FSPCX gets above -50 on the Williams, It's out of Energy Services, in to Insurance...
I kept FSESX a little too long, hoping (pronounced stoopid) there would be some volitility in the market.
Looks like Al-Quida's (SP?) attempt at the facility in Saudi Arabia did a little for the fund, but I think the deal between Tehran and Moscow will take the wind out of its sails.
Going forward, it's ...
1/3 in FEMKX (shame on you for not mentioning it :))
1/3 in FLATX (over 10% in 2 months)
1/3 in FSPCX
Hi Ken, Does this look like it's about to move?
'all indicators were turning up' aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
If I ever find a screening site/language that will give me a quick 10 stocks to look at... I don't think it's going to happen... Trying to look back over a finite number of days to detect a pattern within the universe (period of time), is more than the screening products I've come across, can handle.
Hello ERG. I've not tried stockcharts.com, but stockfetcher allows you to write custom filters for free. You need to subscribe to get same day data. The free scans (test your skills before you pay) are 10 days behind. In testing forward looking scans, this is a very good thing.
The syntax is pretty straightforward and help is abundant.
Today when I went to lunch, I was looking around and noticed how many of us 'older types' were there.
Amazing... Just a little buffet place, but the gray (sp?) in the crowd was over 50%.
What does this tell me? We don't like warm bologna sandwiches?
Maybe... but I was thinking more along the lines that we are among the higher compensated workers and thusly have more disposable income than the average person (we can afford to eat out more often). Our life circumstances may be different (payments, health, etc.) but we're within 15 years of retirement, so we should be investing more for the next phase of our life. Max out the company match 401k or sock it away in a IRA.
What clued you in this would take take off? MACD? ChiOsc?
Ken, I hate to sound stupid.
But where is this ibox? I've seen people point to posts on this board, but I've never found an 'ibox'
Thanks for the info!!! It will be very helpful in the coming months. I will definately include it in my research. Thanks for clueing me in on the 'there's 52 months in a year' thingy... Awesome for analysis when data is viewed from that perspective.
Oh yes, back to the data... Before you sent it, I had alredy done some seasonality tests, and locked in to some funds.
I'm 1/3 in Emerging Markets (FEMKX), 1/3 in Latin America (FLATX) and 1/3 in Energy Services (FSESX). Canadian markets look good, but what can I say... Emerging Markets and Latin America have superior returns. Personally, I think Emerging Markets will shine this year if oil and Iran (synonyms?) don't throw a monkey wrench in the works. We'll know soon enough... Maybe I'll get a couple of notes from the principal, and go for the GOLD :)
I'm still a little skittish of the Japanese markets... In all fairness, they took a hickey early this week with the scandal, but bounced right back.
Fidelity's foreign markets (*anything* outside the US) require a 90 day investment, or you take a .75% hickey and a note from the principal if you pull out early. 4 notes from the principal in a rolling year and you're cut to 1 entry per quarter for a year.
The US funds only require a 30 day investment (subject to the 4 note rule), but given FSESX's potential in the coming months, I'll probably hang with it until week 10. During this period it runs 4.5% to 7.58% in a rolling 4 week period.
It's the period from week 6 until week 13 that is in question.
Both of the foreign markets I'm in either go flat or lose. FSESX peters out at week 10.
Maybe a time to crunch the numbers, drink a beer, and relax? There's a lot of opportunity starting at week 15.
Oh yea, my mutual fund portfolio goal is 5% per month return.
I've passed my January goal, and am within $1100 of the February goal as of Jan 19.
Keep a wary eye on APPL. IPODS have a 20% margin. Steve & Co. are counting on sellling a slew of mac's at 40% to make up the difference.
In all fairness, they did sell 1.2 million Mac's in the last quarter of '05.
Watch the street's earnings projections and compere them to APPL's.
They've named Intel as the next CPU of choice...
Intel's got some architecture probs. (AMD has theirs too, but it will come later) Intel's shortcomings may be apparent in a generation or two... I figure within 18 months.
New chip architecture = new OS rewrite = Expen$ive.
Do your own due dilligence, don't rely on my .02
I remember it now... Somebody was pretty darned happy.
What's your long term time frame?
The question is, how do we capitalize on the seasonality of the gas fired plants' needs? In my neck of the woods AC is the primary need.
I missed that memo...
Market sentiment. When it's south, (lots of uncertantity in the market) anything less than spectacular will push a stock price lower. Sometimes even hitting the numbers will cause a stock to trade lower. Even hitting the profitibily numbers, but not how the analysts expected (IBM) will cause a tumble.
I suspect it's tied to uncertainty. When people think they have it tagged, but miss, the stock takes a hit.
I took a hit with a few (emerging markets and latin america), but energy services pulled my portfolio into positive territory.
Some of it is due to Tehran, some to an overbought market, some due to the Nikkei dropping. In any case, the market was due for a corection.
Just glad I wasn't in the Nikkei... but then again, we haven't seen all of the correction necesary. I think we have another day or two to go. Friday is anybody's guess.
Maybe next week will bring an upswing in the markets?
ERG, have you looked at Interactive Brokers? I seem to recall they have a fairly extensive list.

Hello mcmike. Yes, interpreting the strings is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Dwain
Did you transfer from a 401(k) or other? I've been trying to find a way to get the money I have in my 401(k) to a Roth so I can have more choices in my investment.
It's energy, a boom or bust deal. Oilfield's like that. Either you're eating steak or beans.
A little help please with stockcharts.com
Does anyone have a list of the flags (variables), what they mean and the values allowed?
I'd like to setup a list of stocks/mutual funds so I can browse them from my favorites list.
