If that doesn't seem to be a problem, then you can probably attribute your problems to bad market conditions. If that is the case, you might want to see if there was something that should have kept you out of the market during this period, something like were you buying before the buy signal was generated with the O'Neil follow through day. It has been tough lately,O'Neil does caution against trying to make money in a bear market, well, I guess some people on this list have had succes with the small caps, but it is certainly tougher under some conditions than others to pull money out of the market.

When we get unexpectedly hammered, we must learn what we missed (if anything), so we don't miss it next time. But we must obey the stock in the meanwhile and exit, so that we can more calmly and less emotionally examine why we bought it, why we continued to hold it, what signals were out there that might have led us to exit earlier and not get hammered, and how (if at all) we might have seen this event approaching. Sometimes the answer is simply that we could not have seen this coming, it's just the cost of being in the market instead of on the sidelines. But that's how we learn.

Of course it matters! Witness all the discussion that goes on in this group on that very topic. Indeed, understanding the "whys" of the market place is fundamental to future profits.

Norm - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fanus" To: Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 11:33 PM Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] EASI I doubt that the drop was caused by the analyst. I was watching CNBC this morning before I left for work and they actually talked about EASI and that the analyst from Sidoti downgraded it. None of the presenters have heard about Sidoti, or of the analyst. This would be really strange if a hard to come by downgrade by an unknown analyst be the cause for the big drop. The volume today was just too high and the drop just too big to be the result of an downgrade by an unknown company in my opinion. But does it really matter why? Regardless if we know why, or not, it is still down. One thing I learned in the last year is that it doesn't matter how good a company is in my opinion. It only matter what the market "think" it is. If my opinion is different than the market's, mine is wrong and I get out. In this case I thought it should still go up. The market thought it is 15% less worth than yesterday. Guess who won? I don't wait and see if I might be right in a couple of days. Tomorrow it might be up again and prove me wrong yet again, but at least I will sleep better tonight knowing I have a 14% profit in the pocket. - - Fanus "Norman" wrote: > --------------------------------------------- > Attachment: > MIME Type: multipart/alternative > --------------------------------------------- Answer: Ann found this on the clearstation boards: Snowgoose posted: ""An analyst by the name of Steve Wortman at Sidoti & Co. downgraded EASI to Neutral at 10:14 a.m. on 6/14/01.

There are some analysts who's reputation has gone beyond the limits of their employment. They are sought after by major firms because of their reputation for being right, for calling it like they see it, and not worrying about being fired (because others will quickly hire them). These few analysts have true independence (and are usually already wealthy enough that the few bucks from unprofessional actions is not worth the risk to their licenses, reputations, and freedom). I am well aware of the pressure on analysts to be a "house mouthpiece", some will accept being fired rather than succumb, others won't. Retail brokers are under very similar pressures to support house deals, I was fired from one firm because I would not give in and push trashy house deals. I told management quite clearly I would not support their lousy deals, bring me good deals and I would gladly sell them to my clients. But I was not peddling garbage to my clients that would only enrich my firm's management and the company's insiders at the expense of my clients. The expectation of the new regulations (and I would prefer it come from the industry cleaning up its act rather than from govt intervention, but the industry has not acted on this very old problem until now, and likely only because govt regulation is likely to happen otherwise) is that it will create an environment that gives the analyst the freedom and independence without fear of termination, much like any Audit or Compliance or Internal Affairs group is structured in any major organization.

I have never been an analyst ( I know a few ), but I suspect that if we "walked a mile in their shoes" we might be just a tiiiiny bit .....okay...a really tiny tiny bit more empathetic with them and their various pressures. I don't want to be labled by the group as an analyst lover right off-the-bat, because I'm not. Just saying sometimes good, sometimes bad, always be alert.

I'm certain there are several paid news spammers employed by his firm. I offered the option to contribute to the discussions.
