Robert,
<<For me to bite on this will surely signal the top in the SAN/fibre channel market.>>

That's what I thought when I bought a few hundred shares of ANCR before the BRCD offering as a speculation. Quadrupled my not very large speculation in less than 2 months, sold it. It is too easy, distorts and corrupts the soul. We're gonna pay big time for it at some point. I can't say I know when, but....

Well, I just read the ZOOX thread. I can see why they're excited if they're getting stock at the offering price. I doubt if it'll open or even trade under 30 tomorrow. The market is still too hot. But this post was pretty telling: Message 10572958. Not even alleged professionals recommending these stocks know much about the companies they're recommending!

I've been reducing my exposure to a lot of stocks, just been trading a few, and won't hold many of them very long, though I am keeping a few long term positions through thick and thin. I don't think that the upcoming correction that I think is around the corner will last too long, though I do think it will be scary and will last longer than some of the one or two week wonders that we've seen. More like a couple of months, perhaps like last year's correction. FWIW, my opinion only.
