INTU, SFA up today, all insurance stocks up on AIG news. EBAY trying to rally on msft/ebay news. Everything else is in the deep pits. There is almost something perversely positive in the depth of this decline. There has not been such continued selling without at least a hint of a rebound. Either the world is really ending, or the sentiment has shifted so negatively that we are close to that final capitulation. when everyone company warns, and every analyst cuts every stock, then there is hope. great company have reached incredibly low prices. if a year ago we were forecasting perfection in the prices, today we are forecasting an absolute cessation of business. CSCO will neveer sell another router, Corning a piece of fiber optics, MSFT any software, INTC any CPU - come on! this is herd mentality at its finest. it would truly be nuts to sell at this prices. stocks are screaming buys, so why sellthem here. i suspect we will get some relief soon or this afternoon, but, until the psychologoy changes from fear to mini-greed, or at least a ray of hope, the trend will continue. come George W, do something. your republican friends, and all of us, are losing our shirts. larry

My opinion...find great cash flow where the income statment does not show it because of intagible amortization and lower interest rate will also help the bottom line. If also if a money losing dicontinued non core operation has been written off should also help and everyone has panic and sold it off because of a huge loss for the year which actually reduces in the future income taxes. If anyony finds these kinds of stocks I would be interested in discussing them. I will share a few ideas in about 6 weeks once some that I have found should sell off a bit because of short term technicals. Thanks. The search go on.

Sue, what you described is what you see in the final bottom. Thank-you for your observation. I am even more sure of my suspicion. As far as all those that are blown to the wind--I feel for them. I lost a lot of $ back in 1983-84 when call options in tech stocks were the rage, so I paid my dues. But I and others did adjust and come back. The thing about the market is that there is always another marginal $ to go into the market--not from those that are out of the game, but new "investors". If you were a little bird flying around a brokerage office, I bet you would hear all the brokers saying they need "new blood", new money etc. And guess what, it is there and will come back to the market--always has and will happen again. The stark reality is the $ are not "fun tickets", it represents cash that at one point was "hard earned" money--even if a gift, inherited--someone in the past worked for it. Sorry, I don't mean to be mean or "teach a lesson", its just the way the financial markets function.
