Yes, you won't get an arguement from me on being cautious. I'm hedged to the hilt and actually worried that I hedged to aggressively on some stocks, i.e., non-techs. Just look at the DOW, hardly in a melt-down mode. But I do feel things are different this time around simply because 6 rate hikes this year made 'em different. We are certainly not in the froth mode of earlier this year (may as well been a hundred years ago) and I doubt we see that anytime soon given the severe beating alot of those froth stocks have received. My God, just look at CSCO as an example, the absolute King of all Tech stocks, down almost 50% from its high. If anyone had suggested (back in March) that it was to lose almost half its value this year they would have been the absolute laughing stock. Right now its sitting at absolute do or die support, if it dies here so goes the Naz.
