| Hi Venkie: It looks like the tide has turned, money coming back into the techs. I use wdc,seg,qntm as indicators, when two or more are up then look out above. Also some banks and insurance companies are down
 perhaps being sold to buy techs.
 Am no kind of expert here, just have to go by what I see.
 I believe cpq, txn, have bottomed out at least in the short term,
 that cpq will make a good move and carry Dell along( or vice-versa)
 I tend to be fully invested except for a few days of the year,
 so have to miss many apparent good deals like temporarily
 dumping more money in cpq and txn for short term.
 This year I will work on finding a better (cheaper)options broker   and learning more about options, especially about the time values,
 and perhaps the use of straddles.
 Those will provide the fun and excitement to relieve the   boredom of watching Dell go up to $155.
 Go Spaz.
 Sig
