quote.yahoo.com^IXIC Funny, this chart shows NASDAQ to be just breaking through 3500 in Jan., towards an almost 50% move to 5100 a couple of months later. Hey, I'm a student of stock market history, as well. Take my word for it, there are no patterns or rules that always apply, like you seem to like to think. It's more art -[and luck] than science. You are as likely to miss the train again this time, as you were in Jan...but, maybe you are risk adverse and it makes sense taking your chances on the sidelines. I've been there, too. And, p/e on AVNX is pretty meaningless. I passed on CSCO in 1990 with some of the same notions you have about evaluating stocks, so... Good luck.

Actually if you moved your money in january between the 1st and the 15th you sold at the highs. nasdaq was above 5000 The highest the Nasdaq reached between Jan 1-15 was on the first trading day of the year, Jan 3rd @ 4192. There were many days below 4000. Nasdaq didn't reach 5000 until March.

Bobby, Looks to me from your postings that you did not sell all of your stock at the start of January, just some of it, and you also looked like you plowed a bunch of your pennies into a Janus Tech fund just before it closed. You also look like a Bob Brinker or Barton Biggs wannabe. Enough said there. We can just read their blathering to get the Doomsday message. If you want to jerk yourself off and emulate Al Gore, feel free, but that is why Yahoo! was created. If you do not have a current position in this stock, and don't plan to right now, unless you have something technical for us, you are just wasting bandwidth. To everyone else, he is full of manure, so put him on Ignore. Today was a nice day; we will see what happens next week with earnings. I, for one, would like to see estimates raised and revenue ramping above expectations, just like Juniper. I wish I had the sack to get into that one! G
