This hit to the NASDAQ is WAY overdue. Keep in mind the index has gained a couple thousand points in little over a year even with this hit. As for 'blood in the streets' if enough hotshots are still out there heavily margined in stocks like Broadcom and JDSU, perhaps you will see it pick up a bit... Regards, John

Hi Patsy! It's Monday again. I feel like I am in the movie "Groundhog Day!" I refuse to panic. We have the Dell Meeting to look forward to, which will be positive! Keep the Faith! You get to use those gifts now! Hang in there. :)Leigh Re: "Hi, Leigh, If I didn't know better, I'd think it was STILL Monday :( Blood in the streets."

Hi Patsy! Leave it to Michael get through the day with an increase in value. :)Leigh "At one point today, Dell (Nasdaq: DELL - news) Chairman and CEO Michael Dell's net worth was down by $2 billion, before actually roaring back to $21.6 billion. He was the only member of the top five to actually increase his value at the close of market today from Friday's close." Five Richest Americans Lose $23.8 Billion In Two Days biz.yahoo.com Tuesday April 4, 7:12 pm Eastern Time Forbes.com Five Richest Americans Lose $23.8 Billion In Two Days By Anne Granfield Think your portfolio was hard hit in the market turmoil of the last couple of days? Check out the billion dollar body blows to the top five members of the Forbes 400. Not surprisingly, it was the Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) billionaires who got walloped the hardest. Top dog Bill Gates saw his net worth plunge from $90.8 billion at close of business last Friday, to $76.9 billion at market's close today. Even to a mega-billionaire, a $14 billion paper loss has got to hurt. It was actually worse during today's market turmoil--at one point, Gates' holdings dwindled to $74 billion before rebounding slightly. Paul Allen had about $5 billion erased from his holdings since Friday, throwing him into the #3 spot from #2, with $25.9 billion at end of day today. He was edged out by Warren Buffett, whose net worth fell by only $760 million over the last three days, to $26.4 billion. Bet he can use a laugh, after the lousy year Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKa - news) has had. Steve Ballmer saw $4 billion wiped from his balance sheet, to $21.3 billion. At one point today, Dell (Nasdaq: DELL - news) Chairman and CEO Michael Dell's net worth was down by $2 billion, before actually roaring back to $21.6 billion. He was the only member of the top five to actually increase his value at the close of market today from Friday's close.

Hi Patsy! OT OT How about some light humor after this week? I received it today from a friend in the Bay Area. :)Leigh RESIGNATION I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow. So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood.
