Actually, Autumn Henry, I'm observing this downdraft phenomenon in a different light. Anything Ballmer says can't possibly move the market in a particular way TOO hard unless the market was poised to go down anyway.

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek in saying he might owe an apology---if he wants to discuss overpriced tech stocks and I happened to own a tech company, I'd ask Ballmer to speak for his own company's stock and leave the rest of us out of it! :)

Opportunity is knocking. We were just handed an opportunity to get some good stocks now once again. After yesterday's jump I thought we were a bit overvalued, now I expect we'll have another day very soon,
The only difference being a certain amount of IPO's will be more realistically valued.

Someone asked me Tuesday if I thought the selloff on Monday was serious and I answered I thought there would be an early morning selloff and a continuation of 'bargain shopping' on Wednesday which is what happened. I just surmised, of course, no one knows for sure.

The truth is still that there are great earnings up ahead and if anything, we were overvalued in our October Calendar which is why I was waiting for a few good 'down' days before we can play them once again. The reason I included 2 newsletters (last week's the cup and handle one and this week's "long term uptrend with short term pullback") was just because those are classic strategies for great stocks that have pulled back and too many stocks on the October calendar were at their 52 week highs and breaking new ground (today's MSTR for example came from newsletter but at that time it was in a short pullback).. MSTR exploded these last two days, JAKK did the same and ZRAN did yesterday, SCOC another of our newsletter plays up 13% today... but ONLY AFTER SOME SHORT CORRECTIONS.

I thought QCOM had 'rebounded' a bit too much after their earnings short report. I expect it to get a shave and YHOO never usually goes more than a few days without a nice drop. AGIL was overhyped, CMRC, that's a hard one to catch.. we'll see, and PHCM was a ridiculously overpriced stock.. I did not want to say anything before (since some of you were long) but I think these last few days in PHCM were ridiculous.

<< for what? having an opinion that moves the market?>>

Officials of a publicly traded company have a responsibility to protect the company, the compant's market share, and the company's market cap, and act in the best interests of the shareholder.

Shaving 25 billion dollars today off the Microsoft market cap clearly was not in the best interests of Microsoft sharehoders.
