I think it's the right guess. Once again, I/we are on the losing side of that guess.

It would be interesting, after these years, to know what the cumulative gain of all the freeking brainiacs is on this thread.

I hope there's an inverse proportion.

I think I'm stopping.
I wanted to when I was even two months ago, but this will be a nice degrading finale.

BTW, Coby, do you think you could tell us more about your sentient strawberries dream? That was the neatest thing I have read on SI in sixty years.

<<Seems like people want to buy now, but I don't see them wanting to buy speculative stuff, they want the big cap tech leaders. That's my guess, and that's all it is. >>

Low prices tend to make people want to cut a fat pig high on the ass. ( That has something to do with getting premium ham cheap.) The worry is the interest rates. Up? Down? Plus a general confusion.

An old saying from my mother, farmers never sell on a rising market and buyers never buy on a falling market. Same with stocks. Greed vs fear. It will work out, always has.
