Nikkei ends firmer, high-techs seen set to recover TOKYO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei stock average ended barely firmer on Friday, buoyed by rising hopes that high-technology issues are poised for a recovery after recent setbacks and by solid buying in defensive sectors. The Nikkei 225 closed 25.14 points or 0.14 percent higher at 18,193.41, after zigzagging between negative and positive territory throughout the day as players tried to guess whether high-tech shares had bottomed out. March Nikkei futures <0#JNI:> ended 270 points higher at 18,170. ''Market sentiment is not that bad right now considering the strong correction in high-techs, with more winners than losers,'' said a strategist at a Japanese brokerage. ''Everyone's watching when Sony will stop falling, and I think most see it doing so around this level.'' Sony Corp shares ended down their daily limit of 2,000 yen or 7.78 percent at 23,700, shedding more than 25 percent since the start of the year's trading on Tuesday when they recorded a lifetime high of 32,250. Sony shares came under renewed selling pressure after President Nobuyuki Idei told Reuters on Thursday that 20,000 yen was an appropriate price for his company's shares given current earnings, and that anything above that would be a ''bubble.'' (Note: this article is ''in progress''; there will likely be an update soon.)

Nice shock value post doug, Any idea what that 500+ PE you threw out was based on? Any idea if those are still relevant numbers for QCOM (i.e. based primarily on businesses no longer part of the company)? Any idea how to value Intellectual Property? The only nonsense we have to put up with is uninformed "experts" like yourself who lavish us with such pearls of wisdom every time the market burps, all the while attempting to bring us "into the light" out of the goodness of their hearts. If you're interested in missionary work, try a native tribe on the Zambeese river. Please. I'll take the money later, when there's a whole hell of a lot more of it. DWB Q2.5K/Y2K+5

RE: "I just read part of this thread for the first time." That's because you were wasting all of your time this past year worrying about the end of the world over on the "Y2K Damage Reports" and "Millenium Crash" threads. RE: "It's obviously where the "greater fools" hang out. See above. RE: "you greedy, silly folks will be a footnote in the history of the mania. if you don't see/know that, shame on you." No. Your unfounded Y2K paranoia will be the footnote in the history of the mania.

Good morning Doug. Just remember Doug, it's all perception for the moment. One of the things that I have learned from Investors Business Daily is that if you are going to invest, invest in the leader of the sector that is in favor. The top 50 of the S&P 500 will usually outperform the bottom 450. Also, one has to recognize when a stock/sector is going into favor and out of favor. Dell used to be the darling for investors. The stock has matured(as well as the industry) and while they make great products (using an inspiron 7000 myself), their stock has leveled off on the curve. What makes Qualcomm a mover is the potential that the stock/industry/sector maintains. It is this potential/momentum that makes this work. Best of luck, David
