Rande,

Good post! Also, we have to keep in mind that last year at this time, many of the "fat cats" were still screaming about the over-valuations of the internet stocks. Most funds did not jump on board until April of after. That showed the power of the individual trader and that was when it got a little harder for us to make $$. But we survived and prospered. Now those "high fliers" are full of mutual funds so I don't expect them to take such a big drop unless these funds start dumping. That is where your analysis is right on-who wanted in a lower prices?? These stocks can only take dramatic falls if funds start dumping. I noticed how much harder it is to figure out what is going on with a stock with LII since mid-1999. MM's got savvy to that fast when they realized more and more individual traders had it. No matter what happens, I think the power of the individual is just going to increase but we do have to be smarter about it. Thank you for your informative, thought-provoking posts. Enjoy your thread and I always try and keep up on it.

P.S. The huge run-ups in smaller, low float stocks shows what individual traders can do. At the very least, it brings under-valued companies to the attention of bigger players.Or it sucks in newbies at the highs(I was one of these for too long!)
