True it MAY be a little early to get into KEA and CHRZ and other ITS and ERPS but not if they start announcing post-2000 plans and battling back against this fear the market has about Y2K. For instance when MAST announced an e-commerce solutions division two months ago the stock moved 4-5 up points in 2 days. Seems to me that many of these types of news releases are overdue. Don't expect the companies to just sit there and allow their stocks to drift down. They're going through transition stages and have exciting strategies for post-2000 so I'm sure they will publicize them.

All this really is is trying to pick a near-medium term bottom after a sector has been hammered (unfairly IMHO). It's always tricky. When a stock's down there are always doomsayers saying it's going to keep dropping until it vanishes. That is usually the best time to buy and hold. But turnarounds often take a litle time. Therefore I'm not expecting to sell for a month or two minimum. These are not day-traders stocks right now at all. What value stocks are?

If you're reluctant but interested in general I'd suggest trying to get lucky with a low bid.

One of the main reasons I'm optimistic about value stocks now though is that the entire market is rallying and when the leaders get expensive investors notice values a lot quicker.

Any other values you see now? I looked into chipmakers but they seem to have already rallied quite a bit. The time to buy those was when no one wanted them a few months ago.
