TI2, only Jumper saw the danger in Oct.'97. From a pm I sent in August this year... I'm not saying '97 will repeat right now. I'm just saying 'Caution'. We've all been fooled before. The '97 stock split started the Oct '97 decline. You can see daily prices for that period here... chart.yahoo.com Now take a look at our posts of that period and see how unsuspecting most of us were. This link leads to the thread on Oct. 14-16.'97... Message 2468509 Most thought it was just a buying opportunity. We were letting our hopes dictate what we wanted to see. Instructive reading. The split was Oct.14.1997 I was among those who didn't see the drop coming, even denied it. Gottfried
