Sorry, larry, but I needed to add a couple of key elements to my opinion.

1) NASDAQ traded down 65 points from the open, then reversed course to close at the high for the day at +25. This was a 90 point swing and volume was ~ 1.2 B shares --- a heavy day of trading.

2) The A/D line improved steadily throughout the day in both the NYSE and NASDAQ and closed at their best levels for the session.

3) Most internet stocks were down 60%-70% from their highs at the low point of today's session, a significant correction indeed has swept through this sector.

4) Rate hike already factored into the Market, just ask CNBC <vbg>.

5) Y2K effects TBD.

6) MSFT not budging below 85 levels.

Many think that this could be a capitulation, but regardless, most would agree that's it's probably foolish to go short with a session like this freshly completed. Just my opinions.

larry, I think you are right on. I feel we are on to
200 - 400 point down day on dow and also heavy down day on
NASDAQs. This is not "blood on the street" yet. But it could
happen. I think MSFT is sound for the long haul. But I don't
think overall market is sound.
