Very good observation that a lot of people are missing.

Gads I went through the 73-74 bear market and it was much worse than this! The economy then had some huge structural problems that took almost 10 years to work out. I frankly don't see that today. The Dot Comm bubble burst and that represents a speck in our economy!

Anyway saw this at WSJ Interactive this morning and got a kick out of it!

On Internet Message Boards,
The Bulls Are in Hibernation

By MIKE ANDERSON, AARON ELSTEIN, STACY FORSTER AND ANDREW FRASER

"On Internet message boards, where investors share ideas, activity soared as the market tumbled. At Silicon Investor (www.siliconinvestor.com), daily posts were 90% higher than the site's three-month average, said Jill Munden, a company spokeswoman. In contrast, they were 25% higher during the last plunge -- on April 14. But instead of the usual tips about hot stocks, many posters were searching for some cyber support"

Ed, you are pretty rational, and I agree with a bunch of your posts. However, the comparison for 12 months is way better that the ytd comparison. We've had a bad 9 and a half months by CSCO standards, stock price wise. I hope it gets better in the next couple to recoup some of the lost ground. I have my fingers crossed for a butt-kicking quarter and future projection.knc
