Congratualations. I knew when I typed it that someone would call me on MU <g>! You are correct regarding it's earnings, but without a doubt it is certainly a "darling" to the buying public. Acts like an internet stock and if it didn't have a two letter ticker you would swear it was a Nasdaq issue. I agree, the big names are coming down because you are not the only one who is seeing the writing on the wall and selling. RS and Momentum are dropping. The wise (like yourself) will get off before the stock stalls and then it will be too late. I think, however, that the overall market (not the big names) which is already beaten up badly will come up in 2000, IMHO. Thanks for the response. You got me on MU! Matt

He had the power then to stop this "irrational exuberance" from ever getting this out-of-control as it is now.
