. You can perform with the market without owning tech stocks but you can outperform the market by owning techs.

That about sums it all up. I think a good tech investor is always reviewing his portfolio to see what is working and what is not. On Monday I added some FLEX, GLW, ESIO and some LRCX. I needed to change the makeup of my portfolio because I was about 90% in the semi-equipment area and need a little variety. Now I'm only 85% in the semi area. What a relief. <g>

Those who go to cash in a drop are playing a loser's game. History shows that reversals to the upside are often quite sudden and one must stay in to profit from them

Exactly!

I notice how vitrually every day CNBC has people on who will help make your portfolio more defensive. More defensive after a 65% market drop?!?! Isn't it a bit late for this? It would be absurd if if weren't so comical.

Lurkers, this is totally false. You do not get V shaped bottoms like you get ^ shaped tops:
