No, a lot of us still have stock in SEG. Not as much, in my case at least, as I used to, but I'm still holding, and so are others, certainly Stitch, Robert, a couple of others. What exactly is there to say? We could speculate to we're blue in the face about today's jump, but it would be mostly hot air. These are cyclical stocks that may be growth cyclicals but cyclical nonetheless.

So ask yourself: Are we at the bottom or the top of the cycle? Well, I'd have to say closer to the bottom than the top. Are we on an upswing or a downswing? Well, I'd say on a downswing still, but not too terribly far from an upswing. So do you buy? Well, it's July which is next to August which has been a nice time to buy these stocks, especially when you can't begin to understand why anyone would buy them, so you close your eyes, and you punch out the buy, and hope that you bought the ones whose stock prices are going to go up and not the ones that may go bellyup.

My two cents, FWIW.
Sam

Doesn't the last one have to end before the next one begins? By the way, I'm hearing SEG is the real culprit recently. Don't understand the purpose since it doesn't seem like anyone is ready to go belly up.
