Hi blaireo;My theory that CSCO woes are CSCO specific seems to be borne out this AM.
@ 0850, shares 120000, JDSU down 1.81 to 50.
My theory is that CSCO woes are CSCO specific

We got PMCS, AMCC,BRCM,XLX,SCMR,trading lower though JNPR is only at 98 which is usually a great buy considering it'll go to 140 in a flash, historically.
Nasdaq is down 49 , not the maximum 65 this AM.
CSCO is down to 32, 3.5 from yesterday.
I suspect that Naz will hold it's gains today which will be good technically.
JDSU seems to be holding. One reason may be the lack of agressive shorting now that the JDSU / SDLI merger is approved. The gap has disappeared and so there is no reason to futher short JDSU, as per this post

The above post can also explain why there was no " pop " yesterday from short-covering after the merger news. People did not go out to buy shorted shares: they are awaiting delivery after the merger.
So today may represent a great buying opportunity in many tech stocks if prices go down.
Higher wage costs today may have to do with the fact that companies have to pay cash now instead of devalued stock options which employees don't want.Also because employees cut hours rather than hourly wages. When Economy picks up, the hourly wages will go down . Anyway, that could be offset by a nice tax cut combines by future spending restraint so as to allow perhaps an industry tax cut, later, as well as keep inflation at rest.
So as you can see blaireo1 from your previous post last month things are not significantly improved with me:still getting periodic bouts of irrational exuberance.
I have to go, Greenie has left me a message on my voice mail.........he says he is going to raise my rates unless...I......
