so, then it's time for some tough love my friend.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Obviously, since you've "been
here before" you haven't or don't want to learn from your mistakes.
Certainly if we went down the list of the most common trading guideline

thing anyone can take away from these posts is that you are a
LOSER!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>You offer no plan or strategy to
deal with this setback other than to hope "we get a correction." You
can't tell us why the trades went bad or even admit that you were wrong. In
fact, you want to short more! This during one of the biggest up months in
market history. Talk about hubris! </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>You
claim to know NWACs business because you live in Minneapolis? What
arrogance! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You've said you got a degree in math but its
obvious math plays no part in your trading. Unless you control your downside
risk you'll never win over the long haul. So with NWAC the best you could do
IF the stock went zero was $960. (Yeah right, like one of the giants of its
industry becomes worthless.) Yet you've endured a $360 or 38% plunge
down a bottomless pit. Or AMAT, the undisputed leader of its industry and
where you've taken an astounding $2300 or 35% whipping. What's even more
amazing is that I'm willing to wager that this 1 position has become almost
50% of your trading account, or what's left of it. Are you dumb or just
desperate?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finally, you end by telling us that the market
action has changed for the better and "screwed up your thinking."
The only thing that is screwed up is that you've continued to stay WRONG for a
month while pissin off probably 20% of your equity! I suggest for the
well-being of your family that snap out of this stupor and GET OUT OF THE
MARKET! Your personality is not suited for active trading and it will end up
costing you a lot more than a shrink while you "discover" yourself.
Stick with it, and I'll guaranty you'll be cleaning full-time for a
living.</FONT></DIV>

<CENTER> </CENTER>Well it has been awhile since I have addressed my
trades. Seems like I have dug myself a hole. Since I have been sitting on
these trades with some pretty good draw down. I have to sit and wait because
I have zero buying power. I have been here before and I still don't like it.
It isn't very productive. (Well I have done some much needed cleaning around
here.) But that doesn't count.
<P>I covered 100 shares of NWAC for a small gain. I still am short 50 shares
at 19 3/16. Currently the stock trades around 26. My fundamental outlook on
this stock has not changed. I live in Minneapolis and they are giving more
and more money in these contract negotiations. Plus to attract passengers
they are giving up to much money. If I had money I would have taken another
position short at the $27 level.
<P>KEA - I am still short 100 shares at 30 1/2. I could of covered around 30
about a week ago, but decided to take a chance that it was going to move
lower. It is now around 37. Could break to $40. It does move with the
markets and I will say that <U>if we can get a correction</U> I should be
able to get out with out to much of a loss.
<P>AMAT - Has also moved higher and is now around 35. I am short 250 shares
at 3 different locations. 50 @ 19 1/2, 100 @ 25 5/8 and 100 @ 29 3/8. As of
the last few days the stock has been trying to come down. But the market
just keeps moving higher. Then so does AMAT. My out look on AMAT has changed
since they have finished their restructuring. It will help their bottom line
but it is unclear what demand for their equipment will be in 1999. My guess
is not that much demand. <BR>
<P>Overall out look: My out look for the over all market is much more
positive than what it was 1 month ago. Even if the economy slows down, the
fed will use easing as a means to combat a slowing economy. Hence large cap
stocks prices will still stay buoyed up. I will say that Greenspan's
surprise rate cut has screwed my thinking up. The landscape changed to much
and became unfamiliar. <BR>

Here is a perl script for testing Yahoo data for
