A good idea of the mediocre performance of large technology companies as a group can be seen at spdrindex.com - click on the technology index(XLK), then get a 2 year comparison to the SP 500. This shows how gorilla power is not just a function of large cap tech. On another subject I heard on CNBC that Celera now has the genetic map of the fruit fly and the mouse. This is very important for research. Both species have a treasure trove of research already done on them, and the mouse shares an astonishing number of genes with humans. We are in the early stages of a revolution in medicine, a subject important to all of us. That is, if the government doesn't succeed in killing off drug research by the pharmaceutical companies.
