I guess it is getting there. Most hedgies have switched from short selling ing based on fundamentals to just holding cash due to valuations. This was one hell of a slide in terms of the bottom of the 'V' or 'U' or whatever you want to call it... My view is that we are in an earnings 'V' but that the macro-economy is in something that is more 'U-ish'... I don't think most people understand the intricacies of quarterly sequentials...

Q1 is a crucial quarter though and who knows how that is going to turn out... A decent economy in Q1 would cause dramatic upside revisions to full-year 2002 estimates as operating leverage works its way sooner into Wall Street models.
