  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Not a good week, but not a real bad one 
  either &lt;G&gt;.&nbsp; My portfolio was down just a little and I again had 
  several changes.&nbsp; I did close my IOM and PMRY positions Tuesday.&nbsp; I 
  also opened my DELL and SCH positions, but never opened a CTI position as it 
  fell below the channel without hitting the buy stop.&nbsp; With 20/20 hind 
  sight, opening those positions in the large caps last week may have been a 
  mistake.&nbsp;&nbsp;SCH closed below my stop Friday, so I'll close that 
  position Monday.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Looking at the indices, I'm 
  beginning to believe that Guy's sell signal may be for real &lt;G&gt;.&nbsp; 
  Guy, have you gotten that confirmation signal yet?&nbsp; The DJI index fell 
  through the bottom of its Intermediate Term Up Trend Channel (ITUTC) 
  Friday.&nbsp; The OEX, NYA, NASD, and SPX are all still in Horizontal Channels 
  (HCs) after breaking through the bottom of their up trend channels a week or 
  two ago.&nbsp; That leaves&nbsp;the RUT as the only major index I&nbsp;follow 
  that's still in its ITUTC and even it is in a sideways move within that 
  channel.&nbsp; I don't know if this means more sector rotation from the large 
  caps to the small caps,&nbsp;&nbsp;a correction in everything, or if its just 
  a fake out before the summer rally.&nbsp; However, I do know that I'm going to 
  watch my stops carefully and I'm not going to add any large cap stocks in the 
  near future.&nbsp; In fact, I'm going to avoid new U.S. stock positions 
  altogether for now.&nbsp; To help protect against the possibility of a 
  correction in the U.S. market, I'm going to invest about 20% of my 
  portfolio&nbsp;in&nbsp;foreign markets and if I'm stopped out of anything 
  else, I'll just sit on the cash for a while.&nbsp; Since it's hard to get 
  information in individual foreign stocks, I'm going to just play a country or 
  area using the AMEX traded WEBs.&nbsp; Looking at the WEBs I had a hard time 
  deciding among Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore.&nbsp; I finally decided to 
  delete Singapore due to the mainland China influence and put about 10% of my 
  portfolio in Foreign Fund Malaysia (EWM) and 10% in Japan WEBs 
  (EWJ).</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EWM at 6 3/4 gapped up Friday and 
  broke out of a Short Term Down Trend Channel (STDTC).&nbsp; I established a 
  new MetaStock standard deviation Short Term Up Trend Channel (STUTC)&nbsp;with 
  the top at 7 3/8 and the bottom at 5 7/8.&nbsp; Since this position is a hedge 
  against the U.S. market, I'm&nbsp;not going to set a target and I'm going with 
  the deviation set at 2 to give me a somewhat loser stop under the bottom of 
  the STUTC.&nbsp; Last October EWM broke out of&nbsp;a down trend that had been 
  in effect ever since the&nbsp;WEB was created.&nbsp; I got a StochRSI buy 
  signal just before that and it is still in effect.&nbsp; Since then EWM has 
  been zig zagging upwards with two higher highs and two&nbsp;higher lows and 
  is&nbsp;close to setting another new higher high.&nbsp; Giving the recent 
  publicity on the Asian markets finally getting over their woes, this has the 
  potential for a good move.&nbsp; I'll open a position Monday morning.&nbsp; I 
  want it to run, so I won't set a target, but will set a stop at&nbsp;5 
  3/4.&nbsp; Since this is a low priced WEB, I'll move my stop up in 1/2 point 
  increments instead of my usual 1 point increment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EWJ at 12.563 is in a STUTC with 
  the top at 12 5/8 and the bottom at 11 7/8.&nbsp; It has a very&nbsp;chart 
  that's shaped exactly like EWM's chart.&nbsp; However, if anything, it is even 
  a little stronger recently with gaps up twice last week and breaking out to a 
  new 52 week high Friday.&nbsp; I also got a new StochRSI buy signal on it 
  Tuesday.&nbsp; I'll open a position Monday morning and for the same reasons 
  mentioned above, won't set a target, but will set my stop at 11 
  3/4.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I'll send EWM.GIF and EWJ.GIF 
  charts to everyone on my email list.</FONT></DIV>

Thanks to both Ton Maas and Chris B. for creative
solutions to changing the directory path in *.MSL
(Layout) files. Since I was working with MetaStock
4.5, I tried Chris' solution first, using the
shareware "UltraEdit." It worked perfectly: very easy
to go into these binary files and change
"C:\mspro\data" to "C:\mspro\xdata\data".
    Ultraedit is a very handy program, which I
recommend: you never know when you are going to want
to edit a binary file.
