Sigh.<gg> Once again you fight criticism with name calling. Why should the thread (or I) expect anything different? you pop up out of your weasel hole....hey, I kind of like that. From now on you can call me Weasel. You just love to call people names, don't you? Oh, I'm sorry. You don't like being questioned? ....too bad.... did you read the Barrons article....hey, is this where you get all of your ideas? You just gotta love the media! For that matter, you gotta love NT today! Now, let's see.... CIEN does well one day and NT warns the next? Hmmm..... Which issue will move tomorrow's market? Hmmm.... Hey, let's not get digress too far from this discussion. Then again, from the way you reacted to my post, it seems to be more like a battle of wits (or in my case, nit-wits)......or maybe I misunderstood your post. Were you issuing a name-calling challenge? ...or... better yet, let's digress. How about back to March of 99 since it's so important to today's issues.... Nah, why look back? Hey Slider? Can I ask you a question? Are you still worried about things I said years ago? wow

Slider went max margin in March 99: siliconinvestor.com siliconinvestor.com siliconinvestor.com siliconinvestor.com and a few others.... while at the time I cautioned that one shouldn't just throw money at the sector, one should carefully choose which companies to invest in. and let's remember that I was already invested in the sector and suggested that folks start dipping their toes in the water back in Dec 98....but why should we discuss facts when it's easier to just make things up as we go, right slider? Of course, there wasn't any risk back then! Just go max margin! Peddle to the metal!! GO slider GO!
