        Good point Ira.  Actually I should have been more specific and said
I will be moving some of my cash (about 25%) into long term positions,
holding the remainder for future buying, possibly at a lower price.  I'm not
very good at calling tops and bottoms, but for long term positions (years) I
can't resist with all the negative waves (mental not Elliot) going around.

                                                        Good luck and good
trading,
                                                                    Ray
