Lee, It's possible that the whole mania/burst could really end with a wimper. A 12% market hit with some sectors, i.e., the nets, getting what they deserve; some overvalued but true growth equities taking an additional hit. The markets then trade sideways while revenues and earnings catch up with the valuations. The market as a whole hasn't really been in a mania....it's been, proportionately, a few equities as shown by the A/D divergence. Best Regards, Jim

Lee, It looks like it may be time to splash some cold water on the face and reach into the ring and pull that towel back! <g> I saw the CPI this AM and even the bears seemed ready to go long! I might be inclined to short QQQ but options expiration week makes it crap shoot; I think I'll sit out. I pulled a large day trade going long on Tuesday and went to cash by the end of the day. It went well. <g> Did you notice that all the international markets seemed to be looking at our CPI? It should make one nervous when the world looks at one stinking number. Heinz is a pretty bright person and has a good command of facts, but 6500? He's starting to sound like Lucretious. Best Regards, Jim
