The casualness that seems to pervade on this board tells me that I must be the only idiot that has ridden this NASDAQ crash... I have ridden this crash and I wager most on this board have too. But after having seen the NASDAQ go from 1400 to 5000 in a year and a half I have decided anything can happen and it is hard to be stunned anymore. Regarding your feeling about the analysts, see the following: biz.yahoo.com Following any of the brokerage's recommendations would have produced worse returns than a buy and hold strategy. For example, Advest wanted you to sell in June, 1998 at 15, sell some more at 16,then buy at 17 and at 18 buy some more--all within 5 months. Then they told us to sell at 32 in August 1999, but wanted us to buy in again at 105 this April. Interesting to note the 6 downgrades in June-August, 1998--the best time to buy in the last 3 years.
