Good point, John. It's not enough to recognize dangers, we also need to =
find ways to avoid them, and maybe even make money off them.

As far as avoiding a disaster like Enron, I don't have good answers. =
Since I usually buy small immature companies, I think I am at less risk, =
most are just not sophisticated enough for such a scam. And since all =
the professionals (analysts, fund managers, banks, institutional =
investors) seem to have missed the issues on Enron, I don't feel I lose =
much in buying stocks without lots of analysts and funds behind it. One =
thing I had already been paying more attention to is cash flow compared =
to earnings. If there is a huge difference, especially if ROE is low, =
then I do further due diligence. But if a company can phony up earnings, =
I guess they can phony up cash flow as well. And I think the new =
accounting standards for reporting earnings will make it even easier to =
fudge the numbers.

As for the affects of a financial collapse in Japan, that is more =
difficult as it will be global. The G7 met this weekend, but I have not =
read any reports on what they did. And the most important work will have =
been done in secrecy and not reported. I did read a report from one of =
my subscription services, a "think tank" kind of analysis, that suggests =
the way for the world to deal with Japan is to isolate it until either =
it collapses and takes the difficult steps to fix the problems, or =
somehow begins fundamental changes prior to collapsing.=20

For my investing, I am trying to avoid any foreign exposure, thus =
limiting currency exchange rate risk. I also only buy small companies, =
thus further limiting my global exposure. I avoid all Asian and Latin =
America (due the collapse in Argentina) exposure possible, the most I =
may have is minor (in my 401K funds). I am still fully invested, =
including on margin, but not obeying many sell rules. I have given up =
about half my net gain for the year to date, but still well ahead of =
money market rates, and having fun. My 401K plans to add a small cap =
fund to the list available, and I will move money there from my mid and =
large cap growth funds. I have about 15% cash in my 401K, that is the =
only investing cash left. I also maintain a substantial savings, in =
excess of six months requirements.

Right now, I read "M" as saying we are in a downtrend. Even if we get =
some follow thru next week from Friday's gains, I am not convinced it =
will be sufficient to reverse the overall trend. So some selective =
shorting may be reasonable if you know what you are doing. Best bet =
right now is let your remaining stocks tell you when to exit, then =
remain in cash.

As for the safety of money markets, I have no information to suggest any =
reason for concern. Certainly, it's not as safe as just putting the =
money in an FDIC insured bank account, but it does pay a little better =
interest rate.

I am not embarrassed to admit I didn't anticipate the strength in gold =
and gold stocks over the past two weeks. Gold has been in a bear market =
for something like 20 years, and since it doesn't pay interest, your =
money over that time would have done better in a bond fund or hedge fund =
or even a money market. The last time gold surged over $300, all the =
gold touters were yelling, Bull Market, Bull Market. Lasted a few weeks =
while the gold producers sold futures into the strength, then gradually =
dropped right back down to prior levels. Don't know if that will be the =
case again, depends on whether the buying continues. Every gold stock I =
looked at this weekend was already well extended. If I found one that =
was not, I would be dubious of it.

I hope this helps a little, maybe some of the other members can add more =
ideas to this on what we should be doing.

  Hi Rolf,

  =20

  I'm in a bit of a rush today, so more details later. But, the biggest =
"threat" to the rest of the world if Japan goes down is "exported =
deflation." Imagine a world where Japan floods the market with autos at =
1/2 the price of an American made model. US business has to "match" to =
be able to sell their products. I'll give a more detailed example of the =
domino effect that has on the US economy tomorrow when I have some time.

  I'm just trying to understand a couple issues raised a bit better.

  =20

  Read the Erdman article on Japan, Tom's comments on it and his WWW =
Japan

  comments.  What real impact would a Japanese crash have on our =
economy?

  Do U.S. banks have big loans to Japanese corps?  Our exports to Japan =
aren't

  so large that a slow-down in exports to Japan would hurt us, or would =
they?  With

  a falling yen would Japanese exports get so cheap that nobody would =
buy our

  goods?

  =20

  As for TYC, even though they didn't announce (press releases) all =
acquisitions,=20

  they were still properly reported in quarterly reports I believe.  So =
this is sloppy PR=20

  perhaps but nothing wrong (illegal or misleading) me thinks.  Correct?

  =20
