Greg, Here's a puzzle. MDT broke out of its year-long trading range, but then failed, and has corrected back into it again. Technicals now look like they are winding up, and the last two candles suggests short term reversal: askresearch.com Short term, looks like it will move. The question is, will it likely break out again, or is the failed breakout a very bad omen, signalling harder times ahead? I favor this latter scenario, but I'd like your thoughts. Here's the one year chart: askresearch.com Is MDT destined to retest the 52 week high and break out for real this time, or is this the beginnings of a topping formation???? TIA, Terry

Get ready to laugh. www2.marketwatch.com Merrill's Net stocks battered in 2000 By Carl Corry, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 9:01 AM ET Jan 8, 2001 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Out of the 107 Internet stocks covered by Merrill Lynch in 2000, only one of them, Research in Motion, finished the year higher. The second best performer, Bottomline Technologies, fell 28 percent. That's right, the second best performer ended on a down note. "We'd like to highlight some positives, but there weren't any," Henry Blodget, the Merrill Net analyst, wrote in research report to clients. Research in Motion (RIMM: news, msgs) , the maker of the popular Blackberry hand-held computer devices, rose 75 percent in 2000. Bottomline Technologies (EPAY: news, msgs) makes online bill-payment software. Seven of the stocks covered by Merrill (MER: news, msgs) plunged a breathtaking 99 percent or more, while 35 of them lost 95 percent or more of their value. One hundred stocks covered by the investment firm, or 93 percent of them, dropped 50 percent or more. And the investment firms isn't counting on things to get better any time soon, either. Blodget said investors should expect companies to report weak fourth-quarter results. "The advertising, e-commerce, and infrastructure sectors are still working through the effects of revenue leverage caused by the dot-com bubble ..." he wrote. "We expect this 'hangover' to last at least into the second quarter of 2001. The good news, he said, is that stock valuations in the Net sector are now attractive for the first time in years. "For the leading stocks, the risk-reward for long-term investment looks good," he said. "We expect advertising to resuscitate in the second half of the year, and e-commerce to show steady growth. Once the economy stabilizes, strong demand for Internet infrastructure technology -- especially wireless and broadband -- should return."
