Always sunny in Californ~eye~yeah! :-)....love to dream about snow! ...Just a little misty~overcast in the North-central bay~area... can imagine how the Indians must have lived here for 10,000 years in relative peace. Then came the missionaries, gold~seeker's, fur~trappers, tree~cutters in the redwood forests, green~wooded young Sierra Mts, and lovely verdant coastal green valleys....and today we call "Silicon Valley"... *Still loving the steady 20pt rise on KLAC all day friday, and the run for INTC....missed LNUX though... ...these earnings plays and sector~leaders, baby~gorillas and more clearly emerging leaders are really moving with up~grades, good reports.... really and attracting the money. People with the rate~hike jitters, willing to bid up anything that beats the estimates, has well positioned recognizability, and some chance of continued growth and success to justify the high valuations, but they will come down eventually. If we can keep it gradual & self equalizing...eh Mr Greenspan? Takes six months for a 1/4pt increase to really be felt. AOL merger still attracts the "buzz" and captures the imagination of Investors , Wall St.and the Hero's in Washington DC . ...& looks like the News for Mr. Softie, was partially well recieved. And Bill Gates definetly has a new plan on the drawing~board with something new up his sleaves? Go get 'em Billy~man, and beat the linux out of 'em with innovation! Turn our houses, cities and highways into one big real~time , streaming internet connectivity & appliance.http://www.marketwatch.newsalert.com/bin/story?StoryId=Coh6Tudicr2f0zxn0AgvhDxj1&FQ=c%25MSFT%20&Title=Headlines%20for%3A%20MSFT%0A... have fun Billy:-) One thing we all know is were going somewhere, and were all going there fast. This is no time for Atlas to shrug, so buckle~up, use your brains, and make or lose piles of money, but don't forget to go out and plant a tree. :-)) Software innovations--->LNUX/Infra-strcuture/fibre/chip/B2B/Wireless/telecom/Banking~finance/BioTech/OLB's.... They just can't keep up with the next hot thing. Think we are looking at a crescendo building to a feverish cacophony of money running here and there, bidding them up or down with each new earning's surprise or dissapointment. Coming off the year of "Splitsville" and huge gains, there are many instances of Insider~selling and dillution pressures, many associated with ending of lock~ups and huge runs on so many new tech companies of promise. But is it taking money off the table? Or is there plenty of more $$$ out there, for the bull or bear, who isn't going to remain idle. So the the market will shift and heave , and some rise and some fall....Expect more volatility on the earnings deluge: cbs.marketwatch.com Just going to play it day by day, with emphasis on the future supra~net,HDTV, Streaming Media/Interactive, B2B,Linux & Broadband/Wireless connectivity , as they come into play...not any good in the Bio~techs but would like to have spare~body parts available soon with my Holographic 3~D Interactive TV! Some how cloning monkeys to have more reliable medical research, and perfect little lambs~chops never really appealed to me. But that's the price you have to pay for a spare liver or Kidney ....though of all the food you eat from the grocery, apples carry one of the highest carcinogen~potential.<gggg> and they used to say an apple a day! Interesting to see what happens with the OLB's, as Wall Street's trading profits are expected to be strong but not at record levels. Bond trading was relatively slack as U.S. interest rates rose during the quarter, but stock trading revenues climbed to record levels...marketwatch.newsalert.com Schwab gets upgrade on merger deal... cbs.marketwatch.com and NITE reporting Weds.... :-) 2MAR$
