Gimme something more damaging. Thats 1/3rd of a haircut for many women ;)TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-24093745885352179742008-05-08T12:51:00.000-04:002008-05-08T12:51:00.000-04:00Mark,<BR/><BR/>From Febraury 2009, all TVs have to be changed to digital from analog. The biggest profiters are of course the government and TV manufacturers. The loosers are consumers and cable tv providers.<BR/>Any thoughts on profiting from this huge change. May be companies that manufacture digital tvs, processors,etc.Antennas are no longer useful.<BR/>Huge DENT on Consumers.They have to buy converters ranging from $40-$60.praveenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13667970151880837018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-1725962021543152802008-05-08T10:45:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:45:00.000-04:00To answer your question more broadly - I am not interested in buying anything at this point until we start seeing some broader large scale selloffs.<BR/><BR/>This market has been up about 85% of the past 6 weeks. Needs some pullback. Many names I am in are up 40-60% in that time. A 7% correction is not what I am interested in; would like to see heavier corrections.<BR/><BR/>Then I'll buy. So maybe early to mid next week unless we get some tragic days here today or tomorrow ;)TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-91480252070457451902008-05-08T10:40:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:40:00.000-04:00For personal trading perhaps but not for the fund anymore. I don't need the overlap when HDB and IBN sort of trade in line, IBN has been weaker of late but over time they generally seem to trade together.<BR/><BR/>If you are a trader you buy now, set the stop loss below 200 day if it goes against you and you have a nice trade set up.<BR/><BR/>But I don't put things in or out for short term here. I do adjust size of positions but I don't add a position just for a quick trade like that. 2 different hats.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-22426081466447975412008-05-08T10:22:00.000-04:002008-05-08T10:22:00.000-04:00Mark,<BR/>I know you came out of IFN and have similar stocks in acount (IBN).
