I'm tryin to lose that margin....I need some kind of decent rally so I can either sell something or write some cc's....I have no idea how low something like jdsu goes...or sunw goes...but If I've held them this long, I just can't see selling them now....now some other stuff, I want to sell, but need a few more points......doesnt look like it's gonna happen today <ggg> Have a good weekend.....like I said, there should be a law about closing negative on a friday...... One thing that both amazes me and pisses me off is how quickly the so called experts change their tune...I mean they are nothing but watchers of the numbers....if we go up, they all come out with positive reasons why we have bottomed and are going up....and within minutes, the same people can be talking about how much trouble we are in...case in point.....at the market close yesterday, all we heard were positives.....I mean the bull drum was a beaten away.....as soon as nortel dropped it's bomb and dell and hp reported, everything taned BIGTIME....and all of a sudden those same folks that were beating the bull drum, were talking about how much trouble the naz was in....the otherday we blew off amat bad news and everything was hunky doory........but nope, let the naz gain just a few points, and they will take it down in a blink...one minute the spin is positive...the next it's run for your life the world is over.....very frustrating...... Have a good weekend....as if that will now be possible for anybody still long tech as I am.......hoping that some buyers step in for some bargain hunting later.... keith
