>> There is an increasing chance, imo, that the tech decline will continue to an extent beyond most people's perception

Speaking for myself, it already has, back in November. Apparently I suffer from a limited imagination.

>> there are entire other sectors that are doing quite well, thank you, while investors hold onto sinking techs.

My timing is so bad that my nightmare is jumping off techs to join the "defensive issues" just in time for a mass rotation back to techs.

>> Sir John Templeton has always said: "Buy at the point of greatest pessimism...

Buffett and the other greats have suggested the same. I'm hoping their historical insights prove correct.

Anything doing well besides tobacco?
I have some money in a bond fund now....it was amazing I kept trying to exit the market from April on and could not. I've been reading Elder's book on Trading and decided I had an "addiction".
Oh well.
Didn't get wiped out but awfully close on one account.
Looking at stocks that pay dividends now. MO RJR and a transportation-shipping and health stock that I've forgotten the symbols of.
What a year.

Anyway what other sectors are doing well besides tobacco?
