GHARIB: We have seen stocks now like Cisco (CSCO), it's at $13, Intel (INTC) at $22, these were the bellwethers of technology. Have technology stocks hit bottom now?
ACMAPORA: Intel, no, for sure, because today it made another new 52 week low and I unfortunately think it's going to go a lot lower. Cisco, I would love to say it's probing for a bottom. I think somewhere around the $10 or $13 area I suspect it will find home. But I think Intel has more to go. >>
