The internet sector will likely pull out of the downspin and some of the ones that have come down the most may eventually move up the most. For the short-term, I think the darlings will continue to do better than the secondary inet stocks. AMZN, AOL, MSPG, Yahoo and others will probably, IMO pull up at least a bit by the end of the week. Monday and Tuesday may create more bloodshed before that pull-up occurs. Many of the stockholders who don't watch these stocks during the day should have been pretty surprised to see their darlings were clobbered so much in just one week - many inet stocks were down 30%-40%. That may cause a stampede on Monday morning.

The first net withdrawals from mutuals in 8 years is an indication that individual investors are turning more cautious and funds many managers hands will be tied into selling or at least not buying. I think there is a threat of a true bear market correction but that is not likely. I would like to see a continued bull market correction but not a typical nine month, 30%+ bear market. I had thought that the market would remain crazy and see new highs by the end of the year. That's mostly out of the question now but still very possible by the middle or end of next year, IMO.
