<<could this be the 'big one'>> I dont know what qualifies as "big", but I do believe NASDAQ has the biggest risk from here, an easy 15% down from here. That's why I always keep at least 50% cash on hand these days. When I buy a stock, I have to sell some others to maintain my cash/stock balance (and yes, I am heavily in techs, as I have always been for the past 3-4 years).

William I love it when you "gush" ! <gg> Victor INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Suddenly, Amazon's Books Look Better The e-tailer is raking in a bundle--from other merchants No sooner had Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) reported its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 2 than the squabbles erupted on online-investor message boards. 'The Amazon numbers were great!' gushed William Harmond, a trader on the Silicon Investor site. Retorted another, identified as Lucretius Taurus: 'I'll be shocked if this piggy is even around in a couple years.' Even the pros are betwixt and between. 'I'm still a believer in Amazon in the long term,' says David D. Alger, chief executive of money manager Fred Alger Management Inc.--yet he recently dumped most of the Amazon shares in his Enterprise Internet Fund. businessweek.com
