The fundimentals are not the ISSUE the PE valuation is. All the good news is worthless if the market is reavaluating pe's. I think you will see Q at 87 tomorrow at some point if things get UGLY

UF - Don't you think the DDI announcement that Ruff posted tonight is proof that Dr. J's game plan is still effective? Yes. Unless there is something that I've missed about that anouncement seems to me tot be very very good news. Now about this market thing. Seems to me the following:- 1. The best thing would have been to get out at the top. Unfortunately not many of us did. 2. The ensxt best thing would have been to get out at say 4,000+. Unfortunately there were some of us who didn't. 3. The next best thing would have been to get out at 3,400+. Unfortunately not ever one of us did. 4. Those that are left haven't the faintest idea whether the market is hass bottomed or as mm puts it "is going over a cliff". Those that got out don't know either except that they could care less whereas those that are still in have even more difficutly sleeping at night than before. 5. Prediction ....the market will continue to sell off until buyers return. Simple as that. So lets just ask around this and other threads to see if anyone wnats to buy any stock these days. My guess is that nobody will buy stock until Mr Greenspan makes it crytal clear that he is satisifed that he has broken the back of the economy. Then slowly over a few years a new generation will have grown up and they will emerge into the daylight and have enough trust to buy stock again. Best regards, L
