The "big hope" is that next Tuesday Alan Greenspan and the Feds will drop interest rates by 1/4%. It may happen. It's a long shot. Even if it does, it's unlikely to do much to the flagging stockmarket. technologyinvestor.com My how things have changed for technology stocks. You can't even get the editor of a technology stock investment magazine excited about interest rates possibly declining.

Even sadder I think rate cuts equal to the same speed in which Uncle Allen raised them is not going to help the market any time soon. I believe that Allen can cut rates several points in 2 or 3 months and the technology sector will continue to suffer for the foreseeable future. Back to investing basics 101, earnings, a strong balance sheet, low PE and a future of reasonable earnings growth expectations as well as increasing market share are once again key. My 2 cents.
