Hi Jeff and all, One note for those who may be distressed by the market. I happened to catch a little CNBS this morning and I heard a comment that I thought worth mentioning. I think it may help us understand some of the 'mentality' that's going on right now. The comment was that the NASDAQ was breaking down and that "even earnings won't matter" (or something to that affect). The analyst community is helping to spur on the 'fear' factor, trying to take advantage of those who may get too emotional and who may lose sight of their goals. I beg to differ with the above comment. As we all know, earnings do matter and I will be proved right when the numbers are made public. Those companies that are creating earnings NOW and showing solid forward expectations will do well, as they almost always have in the past. Gauge your risk level and keep your focus. Trade your plan. If your trade goes south, stick to your discipline, whatever it might be! There are a lot of babies being thrown out with the bath water. This will provide plenty of opportunities in the near future! Just my 2 cents, Michael
