Timing the market for anyone other than people living at their computers is a sucker's game. Evidence seems to suggest that it is a sucker's game even for a lot of those who live at their computers!

<<for anyone other than people living at their computers>> right, like the whole bunch of us, sitting here having this virtual discussion about tech stock valuations on a Saturday evening (following a beautiful day), really are in a position to speak to this one... :0) tekboy/Ares@who'sexcuseisthattekgirlisinSweden.org

<<why was the bubble in March more evident than the one in November or December when the Naz had gone up an unprecedented 85%?>> Well, first because some of us have not been at this (tech investing/GG gaming) very long. In my case I only bought in to tech in a big way in Nov. and Dec. Three months later my portfolio was up 85%. One doesn't have to spend much time at the computer to notice something like that. One also doesn't have to have had much experience in the market to recognize that something extraordinary was happening. Of course, acting on that realization, sadly, is another matter.
