I saw that - some idiots were running it up to almost 55
I tried to short there but I guess they ran out of
idiots.

What a casino in AH.


It is a casino afterhours...now - right back where it started.<g>

The one thing that catches my attention is that this is the second big semi equipment maker to provide a bullish outlook instead of saying we may be at a bottom. I am trying to balance this what I think is a market in which tech is not liked as it once was. The big funds have not loaded up on tech...although they seemed to like the semis within the tech sector...but valuations still high seems to be the consensus.

I am just wondering if the "smart money" is about to cover short positions--Nasdaq short interest is at record levels. There was a slight decline in the NYSE shorts--I think it was the first one in 11 months if I am not mistaken. Wonder if it is a trend.

note: SEBL seems to be going strong afterhours.
