>>could this be the 'big one'

I don't think so. Look at the charts of Juniper, Ariba and Celera.

Bearded One - Abelson has been predicting the 'big one' since '94. What would the big one even look like? A 50% drop - highly unlikely - would only get us back to '97 on the DJIA and Jan 99 on the NAS. Many bulls were up way more than 100% last year alone. You'll be hard pressed to undo all that. For long term bulls the war is over. They won.
