J6P: many of friends/acquaintances in hi-tech working at places like EMC/CSCO/NT etc. here in RTP in NC. these people all made much money in options/etc during bull market last few years. talk to these people all time trying to gauge sentiment... no fear. like you said, they are nervous seeing all their 'gains' for the year wiped out- but still so much ahead of the game b/c of years of service at these companies. they will not sell until they are convinced economy will tank and even then they think will come out o.k. long term on these companies... just nervous but NOT fearful... even though i know of some where bought their company's stock on margin for their homes, etc... still holding...but no plans to dump until it is sold out from under them. blindly hoping for best in general is attitude i find prevalent. been seeing TABLOIDS at grocery store with screaming headlines about market crash recently... interesting. 64 year old mother called last week and asked me if i was 'shorting' the market- this from woman who hasn't made peep to me in 6 years about portfolio managment other than to complain about cap. gains tax... in general, feel heightened nervousness is rising, but people sitting on their hands and hoping for best- not fearful enough to bail yet... IMO
