too many people, too few stocks...I bet there's a fair chance the guy delivering my pizza will have heard of EMLX, certainly JDSU, scary. Every company that puts a square piece in a round hole inside a router, switch, or cell phone is now a marquee name, almost.

One has to admit that these things always take longer to work out that we would hope. After the initial plunge, the Nikkei had great swings in a large range for almost 3 years before it revisited the lows. This is a great time to be a trader and a lousy time to be stubborn. edit: Short again here on the spike failure.

Do you have some evidence to support this hypothesis? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, just trying to ensure that we don't engage in clownish thinking (believing/hoping)...

< But as long as there's mountains of cash on the sidelines, I expect trending lower with dips being bought only to end up in money heaven.> I keep hearing this argument... Maria assured us that a 'mountain of cash' would surely HAVE to go back into the market. The last bear market we had was what late 70's into early 80's?? Anyone have any idea what cash positions did then or better yet when the market topped in the late 60's and headed down into the 70's??? I don't think we can look at bull market behaviour or the last 20 years to divine what folks will do with their cash going forward. BWTFDIK DAK
