quicken.excite.com so this chart looks at newmont, amazon and the three indexes for a one year period...while the nasdaq is the top dog, an investor one year ago would have been better off in newmont than amazon... i think you missed my point...if you want to be long in the high tech sector, fine, but why not offset it with a bit of the 'opposite' type of investment... for example here is a beaten down south african gold stock with a lot of leverage : DROOY (i have some of that)...you can get it for about 1 1/4 or so right now...if one puts one % of their holdings into drooy for insurance, whats the worst that happens ? as opposed to being on margin in high tech land...(i better not go there !) good luck and at least think about it ?
