AD, Another sign, Today was a chest pain day for me, a day in which i had to grapple with quality of life vs the daily drubbing. I am planning on taking some time away from here and from the daily viewing of the market. LTBH might not be conducive to the daily following of the market. Maybe I will go back to limit orders below the market. Have been following some of Cary's suggestions and buy points. See if i can pick up some stuff without the agony of watching. The alternative is to sell out at the bottom. Anyway good luck to all of you and I will be check back in a few weeks. I will take one more look here tonight or tomorrow if any care to respond to my final post for awhile. Mike

The group urged Internet users to visit their favorite online store or stores and make at least one purchase, and to buy 10 shares of an Internet company..." Funny thought. IF you buy 10 shares of some internet companies then you still might have enough for a Starbucks double latte when you use a $5 bill! (The company I'm part of is selling for 21¢)

Micron Technology's Results Beat Forecasts SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Chipmaker Micron Technology Inc. (NYSE:MU - news) on Thursday reported second-quarter results that slightly topped analyst forecasts as sales dipped from year-ago levels, reflecting a broad downturn in the semiconductor industry and weak computer demand. For the quarter ended March 1, Boise, Idaho-based Micron Technology said it had a net loss from continuing operations before taxes of $4.1 million, or 1 cent a share, down from a profit of $168.8 million, or 30 cents a diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. The consensus average analyst forecast had been for a loss of 3 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial/First Call. Sales by the biggest U.S. maker of memory chips used in personal computers fell to $1.07 billion from $1.16 billion last year. The company's net loss was $88.3 million, or 15 cents a share, compared with net income of $161.3 million, or 29 cents, a year ago. Last week, the company said its wholly owned subsidiary, PC maker Micron Electronics Inc. (NasdaqNM:MUEI - news) said it would sell its PC business and focus instead on running and managing Web sites for other companies. The PC business had been long-struggling. Other semiconductor and makers of PCs, such as Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news), Dell Computer Corp. (NasdaqNM:DELL - news), Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) and others have slashed sales and profit targets so far this year in the face of a slowing U.S. economy and weak demand for technology. Also, spot prices for dynamic random-access memory chips, or DRAMs, have tumbled more than 25 percent since the beginning of the year and more than 75 percent since hitting a high in July 2000. Micron Technology stock rose $1.00 to $45.25 in trading on the New York Stock Exchange (news - web sites) before results were released. The stock has fallen by a third in the past 12 year.
