Michael, never fails - it sure looks like the dips will be ALWAYS bought - regardless of what Bill F says in his excellent raps, it is really hard to see what will bring this market down to the levels that you would consider fair value - Have you recently published a list of your existing/ impending tech positions ? Sure would like to take a look if possible - Regards, DN

Hi Mike, I am trying to find daily data for total market cap. Nasdaq gives it, but very old, the latest is 3/31/00 ($6.134 trillion, composite was 4696). NYSE only gives end of month (on 3/31/00 total market cap was $11.2 trillion, composite was 647). I know TrimTabs has it, but you have to pay $24K a year to get it. Do you know anywhere else?

Earlie itself is a handle. Why would he need another handle for that handle? -g- You have already demonstrated your WWF brains. No need to reiterate! -g-

Michael, I have been seeing more and more of this kind of summary on Bloomberg: "JDSU - The maker of parts used in fiber-optic equipment said its third-quarter loss was 32 cents a share compared to net income of 4 cents a year earlier. The company said its profit before costs for the period ended March 31 was 11 cents, beating the average estimate of 10 cents made by analysts polled by First Call." JDSU lost 8 times more than it earned in last year's quarter, but was a penny above expectations on "profit before costs"! I thought analysts based their estimates on GAAP earnings, not this make believe accounting. /Kit
