Good question, Delphic! I would be looking at tech issues that continue to surprise and that are still showing ultra high growth. . AND have the cash to see them through their business plans. One thing we all learned from I-Net stocks is that yesterday's high-fliers may very well become tomorrows chapter 11s. So don't look to the past to pick your winners! That is perhaps the best advice I can give on selecting issues that will outperform. It takes everyone doing their DD, with regard to fundamentals. Those posting opinions here should include more fundamental info than was necessary in the past. RE: the Nasdaq Composite. . . remember, I don't cue from it. That is what the street does. I believe it deceives more than it indicates. I watch much smaller groups of stocks. Remember all those portfolios we made for watching trends. That is what I watch for signs of a turnaround. Moves are FAR more apparent there, IMO, than watching the Nasdaq Composite. . . or the QQQ. . . . MSFT, INTC and CSCO have too much impact on these indices. . . the Dow, too for that matter. It reminds me of Three-Card-Monty. . . while everyone is focused on the hypnotic movement of the cards, their pockets are getting picked by the switcheroo slight of hand. Rest assured a turn will come when it is LEAST expected. Bios and chips are always worth watching for signs of bottoming. Yes, high growth issues like NEWP should be one of the first to rebound. . . but another thing we learned, was when we see those pops. . . ProfitOften, and rotate into the 2nd tiers. . .and then the 3rd tiers. That turned out to be the perfect way to play early January. Profits when they extend. . .short-selling when they overextend. . . and patience for the next leg. This Burst Market, is precisely as we figured over a month ago. 9 out of 10 days are down . . . then POW!. . . then 3 out of 4 are down. . . , etc. This makes it impossible to stay ONLY long and come out a winner, IMO. Thanks again for the good question, Delphic, Rande Is PS> I am over "irresistible". Lucent was irresistible at $40, then at $20. . . and now that it is in the teens it is irresistible as the SEC looks over their accounting methods with a fine toothed comb. . . .>great big smirk<
