Wrong! Dispatches from the Front
After the Big Run, Some Areas Look Vulnerable

Size IBM's trading at 102. Oops, check that, 101.

Now PAR! The big 102 print didn't hold. Man, that's nasty. Looks like IBM (IBM:NYSE) is going to go in the Unisys (UIS:NYSE)/Xerox (XRX:NYSE) camp, not the Sun Microsystems (SUNW:Nasdaq)/Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq) camp.

Microsoft, Dell, IBM:

What happened? It is mainframes. Y2K and mainframes. Large institutional pieces are trading as I write and they are not holding.

If the Nasdaq comp weren't up 100, I don't think people would be so worried. But we just had a couple-day humongo run and a lot of stocks look vulnerable in the hardware segment.

We aren't tempted here. Hardware is just too hard.

America Online (AOL:NYSE) seems to be stabilizing at 116 and Amgen (AMGN:Nasdaq) seems to be holding 80.

I have been hit several times by Amgen sellers even as I listen to the call and I don't hear the badness the sellers do. You can never be reassured by a call when stock is falling rapidly in Instinet and these other after-hours shops. But I am taking the break as a one-day sale.

Collaterally there is a huge amount of stock-trading all over the place (meaning typically down a dollar) off of IBM, so those so inclined have a big menu to chose from, the most I have ever seen in after hours.
