...compounded by the oh-my-god-there-goes-my-performance-bonus-pucker disease. I appreciate the fund managers who now now brag that technology is only 15% of assets rather than 60%. I wonder how that happened!

Tom, since all technological progress has stopped due to a lack of demand or need for innovation (according to analysts and the markets) we should all invest in agricultural implements for the coming "back to nature" movement in which cubicled tech workers will throw off their chains/keyboards/pagers/Palm Pilots/cell phones/etc. and strike off into the wilderness to reacquaint themselves with the 19th century lifestyle beloved by our forefathers. Someone correct me if that's not what the NASDAQ is trying to tell us. That is, what the sum of the actions from idiot fund managers destroying their principal assets is telling us. A lot of well-deserved pink slips will be landing on fund manager desks about the time the first crusaders are turning over the first piles of sod for the okra patch. Weirdness magnified to the nth degree lately.
