Hello Dan,..

Am forwarding the paper in next e-mail. 
Regarding funds,...I am fairly light footed,..and typically I 
move 3-4 times per week,...rarely holding positions 
for more than a day or two,...always one of three places, 
all mutual funds: Money Market, S&P500, International (EAFE) 

I don't really have favorites,..rather just use what I have available, in 
accounts
I am trading at any given time.  Tax defered accts tend to be less restrictive
when it comes to frequent exchanges than taxable type accounts,...
In a variable annuity I trade,..I have STISX,  CUIEX,  TWIEX, FOSFX,
and several others I use,...mostly International Growth type funds loaded 
with Telecomm,..Tech and Media shares,..so they move well.  In another 
account 
I have AEPGX which outside the 401-k would be a load fund.  I just got bumped 
from ( meaning kicked out of)  Fremont Funds for excessive exchanges
of their FIGFX which was not a dynamic EAFE fund anyhow,...(this happens 
excessively...ha.) and am moving to new fund family today.  My focus is on 
finding good International Growth funds that track well with, or outperform 
the 
Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE, per Morgan Stanley's) index.

Simply there are very many that meet this requirement,...just pull up a chart 
of some of the funds mentioned above and you'll see the pattern,...any  
"Growth Type" International fund that moves would be a good vehicle.   

There are times to scale back from this methodology though,..
a key example was Fall of 1998 when overseas markets were leading the US 
markets lower,..etc.   Thanks again for your note,...and sorry this is 
brief,..busy
morning.
