Raul - Re "Short Sales" The WSJ only gives a grand
total but you can do some quick math. At least five
million of the 20 million were in the past month so
they were done at prices in the 80s. Those folks are
only hurting a little (but they are probably sweating
bullets). The other 15 million are thus those brain
surgeons and rocket scientists who figured it was real
smart to short INTC at 50-60-70. These are folks who
are looking to give themselves a haircut with a hedge
trimmer :(

Re the rosy outlook. Scary, isn't it. I am waiting for
some loons in the Russian military to start a coup or
some other catastrophe to kick the dow 1000 points down
(dragging intel and everything else down with it).
Perhaps the fact that so much of the market is in
professional (stop laughing) hands as mutual funds may help
stabilize panic selling if something happens. I have
absolutely no fear of the network PC (there's a short sale
that might be worth considering). About the only realistic
fear I have is that the justice department decides to break
up intel the way they broke up ATT (and they wouldn't even
dream of doing that if the NC is a big hit :) ).

Good long term investing to all.
