marvin, With all due respect to you, and Zeev, and anyone else this applies to, why would you base financial decisions on any one, or a few person(s) on a message board? Many people do this but I have never understood it.

Some people/posters happen to be great market timers, technical analysts or fundamental analysts. But that is (and should be) only one data point or reference. IMO, the best way to succeed is to find the strategy that suits your individual needs, and develop your own sense of
"timing". Like there's a pot for every lid, there a strategy for every trader or investor.

But to trade off the recommendations of one individual seems like a prescription for disaster, but that's JMVHO.

Good luck.

Marv:

I'm glad I am not the only reading challenged poster who has LOST money following Zeev's mid-term calls.

Oh well, my money and I'll lose it any way I want. If Zeev helps me, SO BE IT.

Marvin, I can jopin the club too with one difference. I read & reread every single post, yet somehow I failed to see the revision to the 12/29 forecast which had us going to a high for the year after the SEP/OCT lows:
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=16842549

"another major bottom late in September or very early in October this one, possibly to 1450/80 on the Naz. From that Nadir, I have a straight move up of about 50% on the Naz to around 2150 or so by the end of 2002."

I realize these original target have been reduced (some 300 points originally), but now we are at this level:

"Yes, but I think more backing and filling till later this month, and the first leg out may not be particularly robust, maybe just the 1388 by the end of the year."

Maybe I really am reading/comprehension challenged.

You were not reading challenged, you just were not there, when the market decided to turn on 8/22, I was there trying to let you and other know. If you try and squeeze the last 50 Naz points from a move, you'll always be in trouble, at 1450 you should have been starting to unload if you believed the 1500/50 target. I can't control your travel schedule.
