I can't time diddley either. But last year, timing wasn't so important. It was just being in certain issues that was more important. Now is the time for the patient investor who can hold through this volatile time we're going to be in the next 6 months or so. I'm not that kind of animal. When I see JDSU going from 150 to 73, my patience starts to wear thin. When I see Naz up or down 200 points/day, my patience wears thin. I'm stepping aside and just let the markets do their thing, mostly without me. I'm in trader mode, not long-term holder mode, even though I still hold SUNW, ORCL & SDLI (which I believe is the best fiber play out there even though it is one helluva volatile issue). If this market leaves me behind, so be it. But additional strong rallies will be another excellent chance to short certain high fliers again - that's the trader in me talking. Good luck and good fortune. jmanvegas
