I cant watch it anymore either, but explain to me if tech is dead and no body wants computers, etc, why did Best Buy blow out there earnings when all they sell is technology related items, go figure. As far as I am concerned this is what Greenspan wanted, he told us last year. What he has been able to do is get alot of people out of the market, bring it back to were it was before the bubble if a stock moved 1/4 pt. is was alot. Long term investing will come back, eventually.The companies that survive will have greenspan to thank as he allowed them to buy there stocks back cheap, Bush will give them a tax break and in a few years hopefully the United States will be back, if not I'm moving. Who wants to live somewhere that you cant make any money in a stock market, bonds, or cd"S. Maybe to South Africa to study animals living in a hut, which is what I always wanted to do anyways

Moderately Strong Quake Hits Area Near Tokyo

TOKYO (Reuters) - A moderately strong earthquake measuring an
estimated 5.3 on the Richter scale rattled a wide area about 100 miles
southwest of Tokyo on Tuesday night, officials said.

The quake measured an "Upper 5" on the Japanese scale, meaning that it
can cause heavy damage to poorly constructed buildings and concrete
walls can be toppled.

Soon after the quake hit at 11:57 p.m. (10:57 EDT), trains in the area
around the city of Shizuoka were halted and highways closed, but reports
from the NHK television news office there said there were no immediate
signs of any major damage.

I like your list and your targets
shorting them to those levels seems a better idea though
gotta put your balls where your pencil scribes

I would add EXTR at 8, JDSU at 10, SUNW at 10, BRCD at 10, CIEN at 23
then AMAT at 25, NVLS at 19
that is just the first tier and second tier
(what is Novellus doing 30% above its Dec lows ??? a move toward 40 and bingo SHORT)

the entire BKS (banking index) is ripe for decline
they have horrible exposure
I find it interesting that it took this China incident to take SOX (chip index) down
and not its badly deteriorating fundamentals

we are same page, Frenchy FuquaMan
I have been saying "Cisco at single digits" for some time

what makes me the most sad (outside my own losses)...
is seeing how the whole nation's IRA's are decimated
the age of innocence is gone
this entire movement away from pensions into managed IRA's has backfired
the future financial security of 60% of the nation's citizenry is endangered seriously

we have YET to factor in the effect of a worldwide recession
Japan, Asia, Europe
so discount the multi-national consumer stocks
GE, PG, G

I'm beginning to find this extremely hard to watch, although largely in cash, some shorts here and their, some small positions that are getting stopped out, It's sad to watch a whole sector die like this. I have stops on everything longs and shorts. I'm thinking about putting in market orders for CSCO at 7, SEBL 15, EMC 15, NTAP 8, QCOM at 35. What's you take on level for those. I'm going to add to my CIEN short if it gets to the 40's again.
I'm going to in the basement to cut wood for few days.


QCOM has nothing but air below. Why 35? Why not $20.
Is that PE accurate at close to 400 on Yahoo. If so, $10 is in order.
