This has been one of my pet projects, keeping a list of things that folks have told me, and that I have take note of that would we could pass to a younger generation that still have time to learn from and profit from mistakes. One of this days I'm going to publish the list....
And what you wrote was like a window into someone's world of experience.....Thanks for taking the time to write in detail, you offer hope to younger people to get into the market in a time that they will look back at as one of the greatest opportunities to invest in their lifetime.
Thanks Richard,

The two in the watchlist for today, APC an NOI had another good day. We traded XTO, both XTO and APC are two out of the 20 strong stocks we follow in our weekly newsletter.
Otherwise today, DUK alerted but that was about it from today's SI list. PEP was up but never alerted. STE is interesting if it can hold support at 23.

I try and encourage other new investors to do the same when I can. Anybody can throw a dart, but I'll stick with knowing my target before I throw. The word Success has different interpretations by everyone. I tend not to think just monetary, but family life and seeing someone else you've know profit from something they learned from you. I do like to hear what everybody has to say, but I'm not one to suck it up, and offer nothing in return. |

| To: Sam Raven who started this subject | 11/11/2001 11:02:40 PM | | From: Sam Raven | | | | One of the most valuable economic data releases has been the National Association of Purchasing Managers report. We have gleaned some very useful information from it for the last two years, that has allowed us to stay ahead of the street. This is something everyone has access to and is a handy tool to have in your investment toolbox.
From our weekly Growth Stock Journal 11/5/01:
"Lastly, Friday we get the Producer Price Index for October, economists are expecting the number to be down, with the prices paid component of the NAPM being down sharply I wouldn't be surprised to see a down PPI".
Good Trading!!

| To: Sam Raven who started this subject | 11/12/2001 3:08:17 AM | | From: Sam Raven | | | | The market internals turned down Friday after being mixed last Thursday. The screened stock ratio saw weakening volume in both up-trending as well as down-trending stocks at 7.3 to 3.3 favoring buying. Risk remains moderate.
The strong groups include biotechs, gaming, computer software, medical equipment, restaurants, select retail, and recently energy stocks. The number of restaurant stocks in the screening was a little surprising.
Longs to watch: APC, ARG, BVF, CBRL, FE, HP, HRB, PDS, TYC and YUM.
Good Trading!!

| To: Sam Raven who wrote (729) | 11/12/2001 4:10:59 PM | | From: Sam Raven | | | | Out of today's SI list we had CBRL and HRB alert. I like both of those charts coming back after having profit taking in previous days. Oil stocks seem as weak as any today. Restaurants as a group held up well, we watch PZZA too. Need to carry YUM another day.

| To: Sam Raven who started this subject | 11/12/2001 11:15:42 PM | | From: Sam Raven | | | | The market internals were mixed on Monday, which was an improvement over last Friday. The screened stock ratio reflected slower volume with both sides of the ratio declining at 6.6 to 1.5 favoring buying. Risk remains moderate. However, it is worth mentioning that even with the market selling off, the volume in the down-trending stocks was significantly weaker than the volume in the up-trending stocks, which is positive for tomorrow. Frankly, I liked how stocks traded today under the fear of another terrorist attack.
The strong groups include biotechs, gaming, computer software, medical equipment, restaurants and select retail. We'll also be keeping our eye on a few oil stocks.
Longs to watch: ACS, BSX, EDS, GTK, MEDI, MSCC, MYL, NETA, PBG and ROST.
Good Trading!!

| To: Sam Raven who wrote (731) | 11/13/2001 11:20:14 PM | | From: Sam Raven | | | | What a nice day, 5 out of 10 stocks on this list with over 1 point gain. We will carry several of these over tomorrow. Wish it was always that easy.....but was it?
Not exactly. I'm afraid if you account for the opening gap it was very hard to pick a stock and make gains on top of that. In fact, BSX and ROST both gapped up climbed and dropped close to unchanged. ACS gapped up and seemed to keep going, until it topped then fell much of the rest of the day until close to the close. GTK gapped and would have been almost impossible to make much off of...So..out of the 10 stocks, the easy gainer was NETA....but what would your chances of getting that one out of 9 stocks going up?
A nice day, but not necessarily easy. We follow over 20 stocks on our main watchlist, so it was a little easier to find one that was making a buyable dip or, looked to be breaking its days high with some strength...i.e. CHKP, GILD and SMTC.
....and to make matters worse I even had a stop hit in XTO, which turned back up by the close.....so it goes.

| To: Sam Raven who started this subject | 11/13/2001 11:35:54 PM | | From: Sam Raven | | | | The market internals went positive across the board. The screened stock ratio was very strong at 23.2 to 2.2 favoring buying. Risk drops back to low. Though this is overall positive, we should expect to see some profit taking, as is common with such a strong ratio.
The strong groups remain biotechs, gaming, computer software, medical equipment, restaurants and select retail. We saw a little buying in the oil stocks, we'll keep an eye on a few of those, at least until we get a look at the Oil and Gas Inventory.
Lets try again....
Longs to watch: ACS, BRO, CHIR, CBRL, DGX, EDS, MEDI, MSCC, RETK and SLM.
