Earlie, thanks for your insights. One thing many bears have underestimated is the power of positive thinking and propaganda. No matter how bad the numbers are the bulls will spin it as an inventory correction and advise us to think long term. They will forecast a strong rebound in the second half of 2000 . The ignorati will listen because the bull cheerleaders have lead them through the greatest bull market in history. Earnings multiples could double and it would not phase most investors. The Fed should have taken away the punch bowl now we have to wait for the currency mkts and the bond mkt to do the Fed's job. Mike

Note Intel posts/rumors: #reply-12165271 and its predecessor #reply-12162908 "..sales are red hot, especially low end, but the ASP is lowering." and "Rumor within Intel is that earnings will be in line with the low end of estimates. Not great, but not bad." Makes sense to me, but what do I know? I'm unwelcome there these days. <g> #reply-12159371 -mb

- Net stock mania will likely end quickly after Christmas. A large percentage of net companies have raised big pots of money,.... all of which is being spent on Christmas television advertising. I agree it will end soon and badly for most. However, a lot are apparently banking on advertising through January at least since 30 of the 90 Super Bowl ad spots are for dot coms. Still, those could primarily be the deeper-pocketed ones like AMZN and Yahoo.
