Tom,

If I were interested in the network security group would you recommend =
finding a fund that tracks these stocks (and if so, do you know of one) =
or has the train left the station?

no problem, Kelly, I am so brain dead so much of the time lately that I
sometimes need a name tag just to know who I am.  I forgot about the =
comment
below.

I am very pleased with the security group, being up 7.6% today for the
portfolio (despite one outside the group I bot today that went down), =
and
gaining nearly as much yesterday as well.  My VR Fund also benefited, =
owning
some of the same stocks, popping up over 4.5%. It was a risk for me to =
go
totally into one sector, never did that before, nor was I ever a "group
follower". So naturally I am pleased as punch that (so far) I look like =
a
genius (ok, so I am not very humble when I am proven right, at least
temporarily, you got to grab glory when you can).

I am a risk taker, so I was looking at the group well before it was =
highly
ranked. The stocks I bought were mostly in the RS 30 to 50 at the time. =
Even
now, several are only up into the 70 or so range, and almost all are =
still
well under highs set earlier this year, so still have overhead =
resistance,
especially now that we are entering tax related selling times.

On the other hand, I am a long term investor, and bought these for 18 =
months
or so out, so I was not so concerned at entering them at a "perfect" =
price.
Naturally, like any investor, I always like to be up on trade date, and =
I
was. But since got back to almost the cost of commissions to return to =
100%
cash, which was not pleasant. From everything I read, this is one of the =
few
sectors that is expanding sales during a stagnant economy, and is also
expected to be one of the first ones to benefit when corporations again
start spending on IT products. So I remain quite positive on this =
sector.

Tom,

Forgive me- was not trying to box you into a corner. You speak =
"positively"
of the internet / computer security group. Do you still (today) speak
positively of these groups or would you say their steam has been =
expelled?

I don't recall saying any particular about the e-commerce sector. I did
speak positively of the internet / computer security groups.

Tom,

If I remember correctly you suggested a move in the e-commerce realm a =
few
weeks ago- would you still advise the same today?

Norm, the internet e-commerce group has been strong lately, hence the =
group
RS of 93 now. Others in the top six are AMZN, EXPE, UOPX, GYI, & TREE.

Anyone else notice this one did what SYMC did.  Specifically, a low vol
breakout from a handle.  SYMC immediately pulled back on below-avg-vol.
