I agree, I think many traders have been on the sidelines for days. It will likely be a fast up off the bottom. Everyone is just waiting for the signal to buy, whatever that is.

I know this will sound offensive to some, but let's hope they stick the knife in a whole lot deeper...we simply will not get a serious move to the upside without more blood...as I indicated a week ago, I sold all margin and a good bit of my core position, but nothing else...tech and net aren't going away...further, I will be purchasing more Softbank tonight and Japanese tech in many cases is holding up very well...finally, while some of our closest allies have suddenly turned a cold shoulder to tech and net, I would simply view this as a short term abberation...some folks are trying to come off as market direction gurus in shorting, when just days ago they were espousing about the vitues of B2B, infrastructure and HTML plays as long term trades...some of these folks trying to do an A@P on steroids imitiation and starting to get embarrassing...personally, I don't need the money tomorrow and as long as you buy the leaders, longer term you will do fine...trying to market time when to go long the likes of a QCOM, then decide when to short, then reverse and decide when to go long is for ninnies...I'm not suggesting that folks don't protect themselves, and would encourage folks to balance their portfolios with either good old fashioned DOW components, shorting some of the second and third tier stocks or rebalancing by putting some money to work overseas, but if you own the leaders, you will survive and market timers will forever be trying to second guess when the next rally will occur...when we hit the same levels as last Tues, look out.
