Day Trader Dave's Journal
Surviving the Dot-Com Crash, One Trade at a Time
PORTFOLIO UPDATE - January 2001:

Stock Bought Current P/L
MSFT$55.00$43.38-21.1%
CSCO$70.00$22.00-68.6%
AMZN$85.00$15.56-81.7%
YHOO$120.00$18.75-84.4%
SUNW$60.00$18.44-69.3%

TOTAL PORTFOLIO: DOWN 65%

Lessons Learned the Hard Way:
1. "This time it's different" = famous last words
2. Pets.com was NOT a good investment
3. P/E ratios of 500x are NOT sustainable
4. Day trading is NOT "free money"
5. My wife was right about the second mortgage

What I'm Watching:
- The Fed keeps cutting rates... bottom soon?
- Amazon might actually survive if they ever turn a profit
- Microsoft antitrust case could go either way

HOLDING STRONG. THE MARKET WILL COME BACK.
(It has to. Please.)
