MG Re: The big picture.. >> it's either a breakout or, a climax before the entire SOX.X tanks. In the past, the TechSpaetzles tended to have huge, but isolated, climactic bursts during earnings churnings, then collapse (sometime in July?) QTR-3.<< Have a look at the SOX.X 60 month chart. The tops of 1995, 1997, and 1999(Top??)now in perfect linear alignment. IMHO we got about 2 weeks or so left in this rally if we're lucky. So my strategy now is to sell into it and play hit and run. 40 to 50% cash by end of July.

Also looking ahead, since I'm trading in an IRA and can't short have started the "insurance puts" search again. Looking for big boys that have gotten ahead of themselves and that would have to be sold when the dollars leave the index funds. Somewhat surprisingly, out of the 10 or so I've examined so far, IBM looks like the guy. BWDIK -John
