He he......why am I not surprised you popped up over here today <ggg>..... Long term, who knows what will happen to rmbs, but I bailed at 28.89 yesterday....too much short term fud hanging over it........I took a bath, no doubt, luckily I didnt have every egg in the rmbs basket. The may 75 calls really killed me....lesson learned.....I bought at $15 and was gonna cut my losses when it closed at $13.75 but opened at $9...I said, wait til the next run to above $11 and I am out....never happened....then at $5, I said, wait til we hit $7 and I am gone.....never happened......anyway......live and learn......currently looking at ntap and extr, but too scared to buy right now <ggg>......maybe even some ITWO, but that one scares me too....most think it will be the leader in B2B, but I just don't know.......I keep hearing Ed yelling in the back of my head " Remember the E in PE <ggg>".......market looks unhealthy, thats for sure........and sure is tough to figure out....do I grab some ntap in the 18's, or does it go to single digits....do I grab extr under 20, or does it go to single digits.....personally, I have no idea....this market is simply one that nobody can predict and that is very, very clear to me....and hopefully everybody else by now....... FredE, you know about as much about this market as most anybody I know.....what do you see naz doing from here. I assume you got stopped out or bailed on your qqq play....any other techs look tasty to you right now, or are you in anti-tech mode at the moment.....so much I want, like ntap and extr and etc....but damned, every time I buy, $hit just goes lower ( although my last buy for sunw at $18 is trying to hang in there for me <ggg>)......I was thinking of maybe grabbing 1/3 ntap or extr and then see what happens....buy more at $15 and $10 if it drops, or be happy with the small amount I picked up, if she rises....dont know what I'm gonna do yet....no telling what happens after tuesday.....maybe not doing anything right now and just waiting for lower prices on ntap and extr would be best....who knows?, certainly not I. All this talk of selling cars is funny....Imentioned to the wife last night that If I sold the bird which is fully paid for, I could buy alot of cheap stock...I mean a year ago, the bird would have bought me just a tad bit of sunw or intc and etc....but now, sheez....I could stock up on some $hit as low as some quality stocks have gotten.....problem is, as you know being a motor head, is it's hard to sell a car like mine with all the extra work and horsepower....must be somebody that wants a bird and was gonna beef it up anyway.....limited market in other words, and I wouldn't sell her for peanuts, she is too sweet.....in fact, I normally dont race, but the other night a red vette comes blowing by me going up the road...sounded beefed up a tad <ggg>.....I had the top down and we came to a stop light and found ourselves next to one another. I saw it was a uniformed police officer. I leaned over and said "I suppose I should defer to you since your wearing that badge"...he laughed and said "na, I make more money in this car then I do at my job...lets see what you got"......so I showed him. he had me off the line, of course, but by the time I was going from second to third, I was neck and neck, and halfway thru third I started putting some distance between us.....i could have really put some distance between us, but had to let up, as I had to turn right shortly....he went by...flashed his lights and waved at me <ggg> keith
