Some of the pundits on Wall Street Week said we were near the end of the tech wreck, and the elves are still very positive (plus 6 or 7 if I recall).

Not that they know anything we don't. Reading a good book on investing by David Dreman that he just published - several good reviews in the London papers on it.

He has some interesting concepts that apply to FSII and the like - showing how unloved companies outperform those that are better liked (and more highly valued). I'll summarize when I finish the last few chapters how his ideas apply here with FSII.

No-one except a mother could love FSII the last few years. :)

Interesting articles this morning:

Trading stamps hit the internet - mercurycenter.com

Japan's Banks Write off Loans (more to come?) -
mercurycenter.com

Asia cuts two ways - exports will lower our inflation and their money may stream into our market looking for a safe haven. On the other hand, tech demand for new equipment from that part of the world will be hit.

The Dow Masks The Market's Correction- pathfinder.com

Get a load of the graph at the bottom of the article - it shows how the Russell 2000 lags the Dow. This sort of confirms what your charts are saying Don. :(

Joe

PS - Also interesting that PLAB took a big hit - MASK is much more attractive on a valuation basis if you are looking at photomask makers FWIW.
