I think the catalyst for a market turn-a-round might start occurring around the middle of June. Hopefully, by then, we should see some stabalization of inflation. Also, ORCL will be releasing their earnings about that time along with SUN's vision of storage. If inflation is cooling off, the market then will be looking for new leadership in technology. MSFT, DELL, CPQ, GTW and INTC are no longer the "bellweathers" they used to be. New leadership is needed to carry the index higher. I think that SUNW, ORCL, maybe AAPL, LU, NT etc. will provide new leadership. Off topic: Both Kimberly Clark and Proctor & Gamble raised the price of their diapers 6% due to increased raw material costs. There is inflation in the system. All IMO, Bob.

Dear JDN: The China trade agreement is a good idea. Right now it is actually the only (potential) catalyst I can think of to get this market start the healing process. >have you all noticed the fall off in posts on SI? I have to believe its correlated to the market. Speaking for myself, you are absolutely correct. Punxsutawney Phil, a _very_ distant relative, has graciously invited me to move into his den. Phil has said I can stay as long as I want which to me means that the market will get back on track before next winter--there is not enough room for both Phil and me in Phil's den and he is going to need it when next winter starts. Phil does not have a phone line in his den so from time to time I crawl out and run home to load the financial page at Yahoo! Seeing where the Dow and NASDAQ are send me racing back to Phil's hole. When I take a peek at SI, I never go to the bottom of the page where the stock price is. Back to Phil's den- Regards, Lynn
