June seems always flat to down, way up after July 1st. This could be some sort of window dressing. After all just everyone is eschewing tech, wouldn't be good to be holding at the june 30 snapshot holding date. So there is a lot of selling before and a lot of re-buying right after.

What is significant is that the Glass Steagal act was eviscerated and banks were allowed to be brokers right before the crash, and the evisceration of the TELE Dereg Act, which blew the communications industry out the window.

I could solve all this stuff for everyone, but no one has asked me. |
