< MSFT was/is able to
generate cash flow internally, CSCO is not. It had to BUY growth, often paying 10x what companies were worth. It
morgtaged its future at the expense of shareholders' and now it looks like the bet will cost them dearly>

Interesting cliff notes on the CSCO story.....sometimes the most complicated companies can be boiled down to their truest form....

Is there a way to do that besides scalping, shorting or leaving your funds in a money market? All the stuff that's been strong has been up so much that it could be due for a pull-back so I'm afraid to get into those sectors. I don't have any experience in options and don't have the time to study them right now. Any suggestions?? Getting tired of scalping...too stressful for the small returns. Any advice appreciated :o)

everyone is almost unanimous in their pessimism.

usually a good indicator that we're closing in on a short term bottom.

I bet the ratio of shorts to longs now is just about the same proportion as longs to shorts when the naz hit 5000 last year.
