I want to correct a mistake in last post: I am used to looking
at trades scaled by 100. The 2000 lot trade is 200,000 shares.

I think @400,000 shares were overhanging the market. That's
3-4% out. Market has to go down to where this can be traded.
They were willing to accept a low price and the market gave
it to them-that's how it works. Getting this into the hands of
people who want a higher price is a crucial step to recovery.

Price held until worst of the panic and snapped back from
session low @ $48. This reaction, means my absolute fire-sale,
bet the ranch here price of $42 is the worst-or best-to expect,
barring some protracted bear market, where there is no market
for anything. Most stocks snapped back well-its getting overdone.

I warned last Friday of a dramatic pullback, and advised a
hedge. Use this procedure instead of dumping a good stock.

Cabletron Systems reported better than expected earnings today:
this is fantastic news, and harbinger of excellent networking results.

The most helpful thing right now is stretch of clear sunny weather
here in the East. It has been damp and overcast for three weeks.
This is much of the problem. No one is in a good mood.
