Rande - Dead money when I use the term means that their are far better opportunities to make a buck. It obviously doesn't mean a stock won't move at all - but that the stocks movements will be fairly narrow over time. SUNW is dead money IMO - did you follow their conference call today. bigcharts.com that just scratches the surface - but it wasn't good - poor visibility, weak demand - the current quarter and probably the next quarter will be weak from what they reported. Far better opportunities to make money elsewhere. Don't get caught up in someone's bullheadedness

I have come to the point where I do not want to be a bull or a bear. I just want to be able to listen to the market and follow it where it goes. Such is difficult but trying to stay a bull or stay a bear is a more difficult feat imo. Also, the NAZ imo will be between 1850 and 3500 for the rest of this year. I think we ARE in a bear market. This second half of year recovery that the so-called experts are telling everyone about is crazy. The second half of the year will likely be the time when people should START buying (if they want to be investors and not traders). One should not be finished with buying before then. We still do not have enough fear in the marketplace. BTW, as for myself, i am now only trading options (buy or sell puts or calls, some spreads). With good money management there can be less risk than out right ownership of stock. Best regards, BOB I hope you are able to open up your web site soon! Please leave a thread on your site for option trading of all types.

This is the shorts big chance to try and batter SUNW and CSCO along with the whole Naz. Never have I seen the volume of bashers posts on Yahoo predicting $15, bankruptcy, etc. Meanwhile SUNW refuses to lower guidance and CSCO has no problems any other tech co has now (like some inventory to burn off and a virtual stoppage of orders during December). Remember though that December was a really weird month. Suddenly nobody wanted to buy anything. We didn't know who was going to be President. Xmas sales were terrible. Everything was paralyzed. So if that December is a one-time event then all of this doom and gloom stuff may be greatly exaggerated. In which case these stocks at their recent bottoms are all buys now. Meanwhile I like 50% of my portfolio being in VZ. Bought into the doom and gloom at $41 and have been adding ever since. Very bullish on VZ.
