FredE, It's smart not to commit yourself prematurely in a credit-uncertain environment. It doesn't always have to do with resources or lack of such. Greenspan's action in the next 3 to 6 months - magnitudes of cuts as well as their time course - is the wildest, wild card I know. Ibexx

GM, One thing that bothers me is that we don't see ANY top tech companies stepping up to the plate and buying back their shares on the open market since the FED cut. It appears that few of the S&P or Russell 2000 insiders are buying this 'dip.' If you visit insidertrader.com You can see that insiders would buy during small corrective phases. But it doesn't seem like too many of them have stepped up to the plate during the later part of 2000. Questions I don't know are 'Do the insiders represent the smart money?' hence avoiding their own stock until conditions become more favorable? Or are many of them saddled with problems from investing in a market that was overbought? Or?
