FWIW this is interesting ... 13:58 ET Charles Schwab (SCH) 28 1/2 +13/16: Wall St. Journal reported this morning (and CNBC repeating now) that Merrill Lynch (MER -3/4) has registered the domain name "merrilllynchschwab.com"; the registration was made on Oct. 26. While such registrations can be made to preempt cyber-squatters, it is notable that Merrill has apparently not registered any other names with potential acquisition targets. Also notable that there is a precedent, it was reported back in May 1999 that Worldcom (WCOM) had registered "skytelworldcom.com"; 3 days later WCOM acquired Skytel. None of this proves anything, but it is curious.

Stop the Madness! JDSU at 54. Wow! SCMR 44. CHKP 93+, etc. Will there be a late day reversal or a further weakening toward the close. We may be 10-20 minutes away from the answer. Do I really have to buy the drug stocks or do I just need drugs? LOL!

<font color=teal> Circumstantial Evidence > shorting is more profitable ...for now < We went long CORV, DNA, BVSN and OPWV, but a few of them (DNA, BVSN..) pulled back. I am NOT a die-hard shorter, however I do escape long trades probably the way investors shy away from short trades. I tried to have a few long positions, they didn't work. I figure I can always get ELNT (also one I like for a cheaper price). I try to hold even a few days but like ADI I don't like losing what little profit I made on the long side. I'd rather just get out and cut short the loss of profit. We are not picking bottoms, no one can, but we are putting together a lot of circumstantial evidence and coming to the conclusion that the 'nasdaq' is guilty of continuing downtrends and shorting the rally. We didn't cause it but we don't balk at crashing the party and eating smorgasbord and gourmet, the analysts set on the table
