Good one Earlie. I like this comment of yours "Every dumb jerk who pressured his broker into buying all those rocket-ride, e-commerce or dot-com stocks," Imagine that, the customer pressuring his broker! <g> I do not think the guy with the buying power at the consumer retail level was/is heavily invested in internet stocks. Most internuts were stratospherically priced at IPO time and were priced way beyond the means of the debt-laden consumer. Thanks for heads up on dip buying. Greenspan will raise by 50Bp and then be a nobody until the election is over. A rally in the high growth big name techs will happen. I like the telecom equipment area because much of the capital to make these purchases is already on the balance sheets of the Baby Bells, and other providers.

here's one messages.yahoo.com I also expect some of the multinationals will preannounce and blame it on the euro.

Earlie, I am still holding strong, though my calls have gone up by a significant percentage over the last two days. Of course, this is a small portion, 1%, of my entire portfolio, which is mostly in indices. The indices, in fact, have not done badly at all this year, in the backdrop of the carnage in certain individual stocks. I have friends who used to consider themselves a genius by leveraging into CMGI slowly come back to their senses - some has even borroed my finance books to educate themselves about index funds! This is good for the economy, as that will stop the loss of good workers to day trading. As for summer - as long as people like tippet and skeeter bug are bearish, I think the bulls have hope! :-) -BGR.
