Has anyone heard a single analyst state publicly on TV that he thinks the bull market is over--or that we're going down to say 2600 on the Naz?

Hi $Mogul, good to see you on MDD thread. Aren't you glad we got out of ICGE, <g> ? Hard to tell where we go tomorrow. 3000 ?Or because major support is at 2800-2900 and because Naz corrections have a history of being lethal and quick we may see 2800-2900 tomorrow. Question though is the follow though the next day. If we drop that big tomorrow you are certainly got to have people starting to get worried as well as getting more margin calls on Tues. So more sell off on Tues? Certainly if we don't get into the panic emotional sell off you can't call this a true catharsis. The nice ? or bad? thing about the Naz is that there is no trading collar. So we don't really know how low in a panic situation this can drop in one day. Good luck, TA Message #46921 from $Mogul at Apr 17 2000 1:12AM NAZ 2900 is where the support is ....not 3321 Dow is still 750-1000 pts overvalues if not more... Tread with extreme caution

This kind of story plus earnings with support tech market. IBM device detects biological defects By Stephen Shankland Staff Writer, CNET News.com April 14, 2000, 5:40 a.m. PT Researchers at IBM and the University of Basel in Switzerland have developed a tiny mechanical device that can detect defects in DNA or other biological molecules. ?

Message Boards Quote Snapshot IBM 105.00 -5.62 Enter symbol: ú Symbol Lookup Quotes delayed 20+ minutes The development, while far from being a practical tool, raises the prospect of biomechanical devices that automatically respond to certain chemical conditions. The device consists of a number of very thin tabs that look like thin diving boards protruding from the edge of a pool. Each tab is treated to be sensitive to a certain chemical substance that causes the tab to bend when it comes in contact with the target chemical. Examining how these tabs bend can indicate details as minuscule as a deviation in the expected sequence of chemical building blocks that make up DNA, IBM said. The sensors could be used, for instance, to detect specific molecules in the atmosphere, IBM said. A more sophisticated use could lie in programming robots or other machinery to respond to environmental factors. A robot could open a gate after a chemical command. The tabs are about as long as a human hair is wide, and a fiftieth as thick. However, current practical use of the technology is limited by the difficulty of detecting the bending of the tabs, which requires a relatively bulky apparatus such as a laser. The research is published in today's edition of the journal Science.
