Oct 23 1999
A new sell has been listed. The MACD curves appear to be bottoming out for EMC, and with a small amount of trading left it seems wise to take profits.

Other trades next week may include PBI, and CI.

Oct 07 1999
Costco has made nice gains for us. The MACD curves and stochastics appear to be topping out so I recommened selling out the position.

Sun is sitting at its 13 day EMA, which, could be a bullish indicator. We'll watch it tomorrow and see what happens.

Safeway is now completely undervalued. I may add another position to average down again. We'll watch the MACD curves tomorrow and decide.

Sept 23 1999
Well, it is complete madness out there. Talk about volatility. One stock that I really like right now is Costco. It has actually been climbing in a down market. In fact, the MACD curves now look great, and I have added a position in it. Second, sell Lexmark. Lexmark is gaining ground, and from what I hear, their earnings numbers tomorrow (Friday) should be strong. Third, I have added buys for EMC and SUNW.

Sept 15 1999
Today was a good day for the SWY positions. I'm really confident that SWY will trend upward. Lexmark and Lucent are now the focus of my worries. Both stocks appear to moving sideways, which only allows time value to erode the price of the option. Exiting now will only prove a minor loss, and I don't want to be holding options that expire within a month.

I have added puts on SUNW. Please look at the options page for more details.

Sept 13 1999
Still watching for something lucrative. It seems to be a good time to average down on SWY, and have listed a new purchase for SWY calls as the MACD curves/Stochastic now appear to be bottoming out.

Aug 25 1999
Costco stumbled, but it seemed to be expected as the stochastic curves were showing signs of weakness. I added Safeway as a new buy, as the potential for a $53 target seems very reasonable. Also, I would like to sell Lucent soon, so please watch carefully, and sell at your discretion if it moves to the upside tomorrow.

Aug 24 1999
I've decided to sell out Wal-Mart, Costco, and Novell (which I did while on holidays). I can't exactly pick the top, but I feel a sufficent profit has been made. Other than that, I see no other strong buy or sell signals. As always, I'm glued to the charts and will inform you when a situation arises.

Aug 14 1999
This rally is great. I'm only disappointed that I didn't jump into Home Depot, and get into my Walmart and Novell trades about a day sooner. The recent rally, hopefully signifies the bottom of the July decline. I would hate to see a repeat of last year. I'll be away next week travelling the Rockies, so watch WMT and NOVL. If WMT should hit the $47 area, consider selling. If NOVL should hit the $27 area, sell. For some of you, you may even want to take profits now. I won't be able to make recommendations this week so simply watch WMT and NOVL, and as always take care and good luck. PS. I may send an update this weekend.

July 29 1999
So Lucent isn't moving in my direction. The stochastics still remain bullish, and as long as the MACD curves remain in the positive range, all things look good - even though today proved knock some life out of the stock.

While we wait for Lucent to come back, you should look at the charts for Costco, and Walmart. Both look very enticing, with bullish stochastic and MACD oscillators trending towards neutral.

July 25 1999
I'm selling out both Oracle and Microsoft now. Other companies I'm watching are COST and WMT. The stochastic curves now appear bullish for both - but I will stand aside to watch Mondays performance.

July 14 1999
New options purchase listed.

July 11 1999
I have placed many sell recommendations for Monday. Patience paid off this time. Some new positions that I may post on Monday night, or Tuesday, will involve ORCL. As SUNW and MSFT forge some new highs, some short positions may develop, but give this at least a week before we see any signs.

June 28 1999
The only thing I know is this market is losing me money. MRK hasn't moved - when will its 5th wave start is any ones guess at this moment. I may post new positions tomorrow regarding LSI Logic and Oracle. Once again, sorry about the lack of updates, but I decided to take some summer school at university. Everything being finished, I should have time now to update more often.

June 17 1999
A few sells, but no new buys at the moment. If you are looking for a reasonable purchase look at TOM, Tommy Hilfiger. I'm very worried with MRK for the remaining time, but not for the long term, as it will have to move to the upside. MSFT is finally moving, and I'm hoping for one of it's miraculous jumps, which I have been waiting patiently for. Maybe the July 90's won't die miserably after all. The Oct MSFT calls definitely look good, and in the event the July calls end in the negative, the Oct calls will provide some security. I'm watching UAL now...looks very good - see what happens tomorrow.

June 6 1999
Friday proved to be the day that could confirm the end of the DOW's recent decline. If Monday is flat or to the upside, this would further the notion that we have more upside to come for the month. Many positions in MRK, and MSFT are extremely lagging. By Fridays actions, it shows the bottoms have been solidified, but when will the upward momentum start is my question.

June 3 1999
Well Microsoft seems to be the bear of all the picks. Merck, and McDonalds finally appear to have some life in them. The DOW may not be finished with its' downfall. It appears the DOW is in a wave 4 to the downside, which could continue into mid June possibly. If tomorrow proves to be flat, or to the upside, this would add to the notion we are at the bottom of the wave 4 - which would be preferable at the moment - and thus allow the wave 5 to kick in. On May 16, I stated the DOW would fall, but understated the amount. Let's see what happens tomorrow and re-evaluate over the weekend.

June 1 1999
I have issued a new buy for Delta Airlines call options. The whole airline sector took a severe percentage drop throughout May. By the looks of the MACD curves, it is very possible to have a comfortable rebound this month.

Second, the dow looks to have stopped it losing streak, and the coming week should give us some upside movement.
