If I were a tech fund manager, I would have spent every dollar I had free when the Nazz was down 500 points. MSFT, CSCO, whatever I wanted to own. My basis is lower, and there is no way I could be worse off than I was on Friday. When the Nazz came back up above 3900 because of that buying, I think everybody that was short this morning had to cover, and that's what drove it back up to 4100. Small down move for the next day or two is my guess...that will shake out the short term players that went long this afternoon, and coax a few short players to jump back in. Then we go back up. What I want to see it where we go back up to. That's what I want to see.

The conspiracy theorist in me agrees, but maybe not for the same reasons. "They" knew when they got things started turning, the masses would follow. They want to ride todays bargain basement prices up a ways, and then drop the hammer. We had enough volume today to probably make it a capitulation day short term, but there still isn't enough negative sentiment and fear for a longer term bottom (in my opinion). People still think you can buy the dips and be OK. Until that changes we are not at a bottom. We also didn't get down to support yet on either the DWA charts, or the 200 dma. I think we will at least test todays lows and probably go lower. Look at the 50 pt chart. FWIW, and JMHO. Plus I started averaging in my 401 K money today, so we can't be at a bottom. Jeff

The Institutions have orchestrated this whole slide. Yes, the nasdaq was high and that coupled with AJC's remarks gave them the scare they needed to shake down the market.

""How many people think that the big boys were short yesterday and gave the market a little nudge by dropping key indices and stocks below support??? go ahead, raise your hands."' Yes Jori, I raise my hand with a middle finger raised prominently, pointed east by northeast... in behalf of all the players that were knocked out today.. I actually made money today by buying the "Big Chill".. Created perfectly, by walking the bids down, with 100 share lots. Knowing they would hit stops,, aka.. as margin calls. Market making and brokers should be seperated before they break up Softie IMO... They "the MMs, aka as "big houses" know they they can knock out stock on margin at bargain basement prices on days like this. So my friends, IMO, never go on margin, and you can live to play again another day AND also ride the coat tails of the insiders,, Just remember, the Saloon keeper is not going to kick over the table in the back room when the wheel is set so perfectly, And there are ALL those players still outside lined up with money in their jeans.. Just don't get carried away.. good luck ...c

I guess I'm a little late responding to this but, I think it was A@P. Well not actually him, but his ego. They keep it stored in a huge jar at a top secret location and today it got loose for about 45 minutes. A@Pego pulled it off. He's the man. Don't cross him. ps--he has a huge pen*s too so hide yer women
