John,

I concur with your analysis of the S&P, and I believe your proposal has a
lot of merit.

I know you don't tout the in house products, but did you get a hot EP on
the 1/21 high using Nature's Pulse.  Also, I'm anxious to get may hands on
the Pattern Smasher.  What are Eddie's current projections based on todays
close.

In a similar vein, I'd like to get a thread going on the Asian Flu.  The
impact on our markets has yet to be felt.  Any company having ties in SE
Asia is suffering.  We are just beginning to see the 4th quarter results
and the pictures are dirty.  Where can realtraders find sanctuary or get
immunized?  How long is the debacle over there going to last?  What's the
technical analysis picture?  Where are the projected bottoms?  How's the
best way to trade this?

There are profitible opportunities here.  Lets find em.  This should be an
international effort.  Let's hear it from the guys in Hong Kong etc.

I'm paying very close attention the semiconductor index.
