Unclewest: IBm can't hide the fact that they are biggest hard drive manufacturer in the world. I can't see how IBM will out preform Seagate, Quantum and Western Digital who are struggling very badly. I think the sum of the pieces are overvalued. It looks like my theories on option expiration and post holiday action may be "valid". Stocking up with RMBS in the eighties as the S&P crashes. jd

Unclewest one day maybe...you might grasp this. "Price is based on what someone is willing to PAY you for what you have to sell, WHEN you want to sell it. Nothing else" In other words.. What the going rate for a share of you stock is now and what it will be at noon on Friday can be greatly different plus or minus. So until you have the CASH money in hand or account you really have little but hope. For example what you would of had by selling 2 weeks ago for a share of Rambus is greatly reduced today. But it might be greatly increased 3 weeks from now. But maybe not. What you are sitting on is paper profits...you have nothing until you cash in the chips. What you have can quickly vanish. Ask The Ebay Amazon INVESTORS. I am not comparing IBM to them but I hope you get my point. IBM will likely lead the way down also if that is where the market is heading. regards Don
