Jim, re: "It appears my timing was off."

A look at the NASDAQ chart and you knew this would come sooner or later. This correction is healthy, the run-up in the face of interest rates was unhealthy. From an Intel investor stand point, it's really a shame that it's being thrown out with the bath water, as it wasn't one of the tech stocks that traded at obscene valuations. I expect it would have gone up into earnings in a neutral market (as it looked like it had started to do).

I don't know how long this will last, but it looks like the assets going out of the stock market and going into bonds. If that continues, it's something of a self-regulating action. Lower bond prices will eventually support stock valuations, and I think Mr. Greenspan is less apt to raise rates if the market is less speculative and more reasonably priced.

If this turns into a rout, I suspect the Internet stocks will take the biggest hit, and maybe the momentum investors will be a little more skeptical next time. That's also a good thing, it leaves more dollars to compete for solid companies like Intel.
