Can I still get in on this action? You know what they say... when
everyone thinks it's over and throws in the towel, that's right when
the big rally comes.

I am (was) expecting it to get to .75.

Sidgmore wouldn't possible %#$( me over. He is a good man. If worse
comes to worse, divine intervention will save my ass.

A sitcom about a rookie investor who losses it all from the big boys

Jason,

Sidgmore said, "I made two fortunes, this may be time to make a third."
or something like that.

While I didn't hear him say it nor do I recall the exact text, I know
exactly how he delivered it.

Sidgmore: <inhales through teeth and nose for effect> I made TWO
fortunes....

He didn't say, I made and KEPT two fortunes.

He didn't say, I am about to make a third fortune.

He got some free/cheap paper as a principal of UUNET. When MCI bought
UUNET, he got some paper that had a value associated with it. When
WCOM bought MCI, he got more paper with more value.

He might have been worth hundreds of millions at one point.

$64.50 to zero, his fortune evaporated, gone, zero. He let it ride one
spin of the wheel too long. Every day, it's double or nothing.

What do you call the CEO of a corp that goes from billions to zero?

Zero.

Maybe he cashed out some, maybe he diversified, maybe he didn't take
margin loans although that's a way to get money out TAX FREE.

Maybe he just cashed out enough for a down payment on a house, some
ordinary luxuries and left most of it in WCOM to grow and grow.

Or maybe he sold tens of millions of dollars worth and has it in CD's,
Money Markets, and even passbook savings accounts.

Even if he isn't busted, the WCOM unwinding took the hopes and dreams
of thousands of "millionaires" and tens of thousands of just plain
folk, their shattered souls lay crumpled on bare concrete like a
crushed 7-11 coffee cup.

The article in Thursday's www.washingtonpost.com tells some of the
stories of pollyanna investors who thought they were financial
geniuses. Phase 1 is over. Phase 2 started on July 1, 2002.

It's playing out as predicted, right on schedule. Wait for the
bottom. Out of the market for 32 months. The chance to buy for 5 cents
on the dollar, 1 cent on the dollar, a half cent on the dollar.
Steady. Know when it's right. No rush. The scent of pollyanna
terror will be like electricity, a preditor crouched on a rock, eyes
fixed on the prey, claws, teeth.

The closest your gonna get to divine intervention and your ass, is when

I made a nice hit on WCOME last week and I would give it all gladly for
10 minutes with that low life s.o.b. that killed that 5 yr. old in Cal.
This bastard is beyond description.

Huh? I went 95% cash in November 1999 and each November since, put
half of my interest gains into equities.

Meanwhile, the DJIA drifted down from the all-time high on January 14,
2000 of 11,722 and the NASDAQ fell from the all-time high on March 10,
2000 of 5,048.

I have transparently lost money on the 2-3% that I've put in the market
each November. November 2000's buy was AMD at 21.

I can buy dozens, hundreds of former high flying firms at 1-5 cents on
the dollar, NT, LU, JDSU, MSTR, SUNW, ORCL, etc. Others I can't buy
because they have been closed, gone to ZERO.

I don't think I'm the silly one here. I will admit to being clueless,
having lost lots of money on my November buy 'n holds. Overall,
I've beaten the fund managers and the economists.

People, get a grip. If you're down a couple hundred grand, maybe you
need to be buffed around a little. How many of you have told your
spouse that you're lost half of your savings?

When you imagineer that you haven't lost or talk about your big score
(but ignore the losing trades), you're suckering the nubies.

This is a major unwinding of equities. Deal with it. I don't know if
it will continue but I'm not jumping in yet. I am buying small. I want
to see 10-1, 15-1 PE's, dividends, rising revenues. A 60-1 company
talking about flat quarters ahead is not very tempting.
