Just bought some RNWK (not on margin) in the long account. It is one of the few times I "bottomed fished". In at 48 1/2 It may take some time but looks like a buy here if you are willing to wait on it to come to you. dawg

Just watch, when the NASDAQ starts heating up, all the people who panicked and bot Old Economy stocks on the DOW, are going to dump them and buy up techs again.

did you see this? "My proposal is to carry the battle to the enemy, but not in a frontal attack. I suggest that the key to unlocking the gold market is not gold, nor is it buying gold shares, nor waiting and hoping to pick up a few oats that the horse misses. I suggest that the key to the gold market - its Achilles heal - is its link to silver. Assuming that the estimates I have seen are correct as to the rapid drawing down of reserves of silver, and remembering what happened to the gold price when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market, I suggest a consortium, not of the giants, but of us all. We must remove from the market in excess of one hundred million ounces of silver bullion. Bullion, not coins or jewelry, for with the latter, we cannot be sure how large the pool, or how many will cheerfully sell at the possibility of a small gain. In short, one million buyers...of one hundred ounces of silver bullion each (more for they who can or will). Delivered. Unhedgeable. Unloanable. Unmanipulated. The quantity is small enough to fit inside a safe deposit box, the expenditure reasonable at current market prices, and let the shorts hold the price down as long as they can, for it will only rebound the harder on them. At some stage, Mr. Buffett will have to exercise his fiduciary trust to his shareholders and call in his leased silver or risk losing it. And better now, than when the world stocks are totally exhausted. I myself, and my brother are buying one thousand ounces of bullion each. Yes, I could buy more of those 4 cent options for March 2001 $9 silver. Yes, certain securities would probably give a much greater return. And yes, eighty-five pounds of silver bars holding open the door or serving as a marking post for the dog is more than a bit of a nuisance. (I think it would break the safe deposit box, and how to carry the thing). If your desire is actually to free the precious metals market from the hands of the few, help us. Talk to every precious metal internet site, forum, friend, and founder. Try to reach shareholders of precious metal company shares - what a way to enhance the share value. Pass this on, Buy some yourself, pay cash, and don't give your name if you fear government confiscation of bullion. Americans can buy it in Canada, (perhaps in Mexico also? Not my field of expertise) if they're really scared. Talk it up. Put the fear of god into the shorts. Have people report in as they buy, and keep running totals of how much has been taken out of the market.
