Trying to regain lost profit
It's over! Yesterday's panic selling marked the end of the very painful retreat in the tech sector. It may not be straight up from here, but the path of least resistance is now to the upside.

It's time to go to work and try to regain lost profit. I'm tempted to load up on call options, but that's not my game -- I'll leave that to Terry Bedford. I will focus on the battered momentum players with earnings visibility. I will also diversify a bit more than I have in the past. Here's the buy list: Novellus Systems (NVLS, news, msgs), TranSwitch (TXCC, news, msgs), Redback Networks (RBAK, news, msgs), Network Appliance (NTAP, news, msgs), Ariba (ARBA, news, msgs) and International FiberCom (IFCI, news, msgs).

These are leaders
All of these companies are well off their 52-week highs, exhibit strong top- and bottom-line momentum, have solid financials and strong management and (except International FiberCom) are among the leaders in their group.

I will also sell all Global Marine (GLM, news, msgs) shares at the open. I still like the oils, but the opportunities like the one in the tech sector at the moment don't happen often. I want the cash. Global Marine's long-term outlook remains quite good as long as oil prices average in the $23-$25 range over the next several months.
