OT I don't own PPRO but I assume you know that they have a number of large customers, like Hilton hotels (and all the other brand names now under the hilton flagship). They are just getting started and there's a lot to be said for their system (even with the growing pains associated with the startup). Also, you can't just toss out a PE when looking at CIEN since this metric has very little to do with the company's future. You like to consider yourself the pied-piper of SD but you should be careful which stocks you decide are your mice. Not to mention your theory that the Nasdaq "needs to see 1650-1800". This looks like your target and I don't believe it has anything to do with fundamentals. I think the Nasdaq could fall to that level but I totally disagree with your premise about the index's NEED TO. bunk! jmo

I'm amazed how negative everone is. My experience is that when everyone thinks things are down is when they are actually about to get better. I am still having lots of trouble filling my open positions. Salaries are way up. This is even though two large companies that last year employed 14% of the people in my city laid off 2% of the people in the city -- and a large fraction were highly trained people. In fact, the city grew so many new companies that unemployment actually went down. Yeah, there are some hard times but they are softer than is being said here -- at least that is my take on the economy.
