futures at this early hour are saying we need a positive catalyst real bad between now and 9:30a.m.--if i could get away with it,would love to not get QQQ calls until Monday to get that weekend premium degeneration:).Remain undeciced on MU--the premiums will be the key---if it is flat tomorrow those premiums may shrink. btw,i have calculated if i had bought 100 puts on APW instead of 20--i could have sold 50 at 12plus and 50 at 8,i would i have made a 90k profit instead of an 11k profit.i have been making bad decisions regards when to 'go for it' rather than be cautious--well maybe the next trade i will get it right--only takes one to make a year---max

Max, what I was trying to say in my post about real estate values in California was that the real estate market there is much more cyclical than the rest of the country, with the exception of the Northeast. I don't have charts or graphs, but if you ask anyone who has national real estate business (Like General Growth Properties) they will confirm this. It is not a question of is it directly related to tech, but the nature of the cyclical businesses that are located in California. Remember how the military cutbacks hurt California a decade ago? That is an example. A good friend of ours has been moving back and forth to California for 2-decades (4-moves) mainly motivated by real estate values (buy low, sell at the peak).
