Thanks Tom, Words of Wisdom. Will be off and on for the next 6 days. Going to see how my dad is faring and maybe get in a little golf before we play on the 12th. Haven't played since Oct. Way overdue. Need to get a few kinks out before we play so I don't embarrass myself too bad. Looking forward to it. Take Care and sleep well yourself, Joel

Right now I would believe anything, I just wish it would happen a little slower like it used to. They have lost market to whims of retail investors and kid fund managers. The move to get defensive is so bizarre to happening this quick without the normal economic reasons of years past. In years past it was buy the consumer staples they always make money during a down turn, but where is the down turn? It will be a bear market in the NAZ only on valuation and rotation to the Dow on the same, I have no idea how long it will last. But I do know when you get right down to it, tech. companies % earning growth smashes the big board stocks. The market will come around to see that earning power again, but when? Greg

<<I feel the only reason this time feels different is because the extreme losses and desperation by the Houses to rescue their funds are different. They have never been this desperate therefore everything looks out of kilter. No way, remember it will be the same Houses that are presently sucking the blood out of the NAZ investors that will also be there to save their ass. This should be a comfort to everyone. THE HOUSES WILL NEVER DESTROY THEIR INVENTORY. They only want to frighten, not panic the NAZ investors.>> V: Great points...I think the Houses have accomplished their mission....They have loaded up on many of the high flyers they missed and started to make some BIG money on all the churning that the FEAR creates....The Houses have also given their Funds (and their outside Fund customers) a chance to do some shopping and pick up the best stocks at a deep discount. IMO, our spring correction came early this year....Yet, we could get another pull back....;-) Have a good weekend. Best Regards, Scott
