Thread, Here is the latest installment of the YTD performance of selected stocks. MRK - 1.86% LU - 19.61% DELL - 24.51% INTC - 29.05% WMT - 32.46% MSFT - 36.01% C - 38.50% QWST - 52.25% YHOO - 53.08% AOL - 56.08% CSCO - 56.09% AMZN - 65.06% EBAY - 86.22% The real winners in this list are internet-related, and don't have to be the internet pure plays. The infrastructure is about as good (and seems safer to me somehow). The financial sector as represented by C did pretty well, as did big retail as represented by WMT. MRK might not seem such a great proxy for the pharmaceutical sector, but it is actually quite representative. So, the lesson so far this year seems to be to go with the internet-related stocks. Have fun with this information. -musea

Hello musea. I just returned from a week's trip and have only time for 1 post. I picked a pretty bad week for going away and you picked a pretty bad week for coming back. I am on my way out for the evening and just wanted to post a link to an article on todays PPI. Not much we can do about A.G. rattling the markets this morning on his last night's speech. It wasn't really that bad just helping the banking sector out. Like 1 analyst opined: Banks can't make much of a profit with the interest rate at 5%. Umm,um. If we want to blame anybody for this strong PPI, let's blame the people that just love to raise taxes. Mind you, not getting rid of health hazards, just making some money on it. Tobacco prices did the most damage. You raise taxes, the T companies pass it on to consumers, especially the ones that can least afford it. dailynews.yahoo.com Hello everybody. More tomorrow. Vicious market and CNBC had a ball to call in all the doomsayers. Sonny A.G. on Y2K hype. dailynews.yahoo.com
