Jack--

Aw, c'mon. We got a double whammy here: 1) the Big Boys don't want to hold positions over the long weekend, and 2) we're trying to come to grips with the fact that the Fed has tightened and will no doubt tighten again. It'll take time to sort number 2 out. Yes, techs are still--and will in my view continue to be--the fastest growing sector of the economy, and no, they're probably not as interest-rate sensitive as most.

BUT--rate hikes aren't good for the equity markets. Never, ever. And how many hikes are we looking at? Don't imagine that Uncle Alan gives a damn whether the market drops 1500 points. (As long as it doesn't do it all at once.) He'd probably think it was a Good Thing. Chasten that irrational exuberance and all.

In my view, we'll be walking on quicksand until we've some kind of grip on how much the Fed really wants to tighten. We'll get another: that's for sure. More? Nasty. I know I've said it before, but LOOK at what happened to the credit markets in '94...
