Hello Thread. Is this fun or what ? We are indeed going through some rough waters here, but IMO, it is a healthy thing. The past few years have been un-real as for as valuations go. All the money in the world, or the IMF, will not help. The pendulum has swung the other way and just as we have had market excesses, we now have, or will have, market shake down's. This has always been the way of the world, and it will always be so, human nature to over react, in both directions. Wilf C. understands this as evidenced by his statement from the S.F. Chronicle, something to the effect of, ( with a twinkle in his eye, the next three years will be like the 93 to 95 period, remember it is darkest before dawn) pick your own metaphor here ! Remember that it takes some time to understand the cycle of things, most wall street hot shots are just kids in their 20's or early 30's who have not experienced a true bear market, like we are in, so there will be a certain degree of panic, it is this panic however which create's opportunity. Personally I have been buying LSI since it hit 13 7/8. I dollar cost my buying, every month, until I hit my target amount of total investment. This bear will take out the weaker players and consolidate others, LSI will emerge as one of the dominate concerns, IMHO of course. This is evidenced by the recent fab shut downs and the LSI-Symbios thing, or the Atmel-Temic deal. Well just some thoughts from the peanut gallery.
Hang in there, BTW, I bought more today at 11
