Dear Scott,
I agree with your statement that networkers, as a group, look good, and despite a significant correction in hi-techs, this is probably the one area that suffered least of all, if at all.
In regards to the concepts of overbought and oversold: I think that you're making a fundamental assumption, rather than a careful consideration of the chart. Yes, there are stocks like NSCP, ASND, C-Cube, etc. that did have runs which are blown out of proportion to reality, because the mentality of the "investors" is "I'd better join the crowd, otherwise I'll miss the train", plus all the SuperHighway Internet hooplah just added wood to the fire.
But CSCC ran 30 points within the last 10 days, and its chart looks very tired, while the volume on this advance was less than convincing. You don't have to be a rocket scientist in technical analysis to understand that you are playing with fire, although there are plenty of people who bet heavily that the market will be at 6000 within 3 weeks with leadership such as CSCO, STRM, CSCC, lasting forever. I would hate to see some of them, or most of them dissappointed. Good luck with your belief in CSCC. I hope it will deliver for you. I personally would be a buyer on pullbacks to 93-94, and there's a pretty good chance that we will see this price, shortly.
