My thoughts as of 1/6/2001:

My feeling is that we haven't seen the worst yet. The only long I've got now is LU and still holding short positions on net equips and members in the drop-like-chevy-truck award. Next week starts the earnings reporting season and it ain't gonna be a pretty quarter. I would concentrate on the earnings forecast in conference calls.

Second quarter may be the worst and could cause Nasdaq to drop below 2000. Investor sentiment is deteriorating but not at capitulation point. Remember margin debts level is as high as ever. Nasdaq is closer to 2000 than 3000 here folks. They're talking about S&P and DJIA tanking and I don't doubt that this could be the last shoe to drop in cracking the market.

I would suggest play very close to your vest with daytrading and shorting if you're good at it otherwise be safe and stay on the sidelines.

Good luck

ps: BTW, one word of caution..don't get sucked into "burst" and "stealth rally" craps from Randy's thread. After reading his postings I almost puked...seriously ROTFLMAO...
