Jim: Here's a pessimistic prediction... Message 15647149 I don't agree with the poster...IMO, the sell-off has been excessive and emotional...The FED sure has not helped much...Of course if Greenspeak and his friends really wanted to make life interesting for the shorts they could lower rates again this week...<VBG>. I don't expect a rate cut to happen until May...Yet, the economy may pull out of its downturn sooner than some of 'the experts' realize. Today I talked with a headhunter in Chicago and they are seeing high tech recruiting pick up...Another friend in a law firm here said business is quite robust and expects a lot of deals in the 2nd half of the year. We still will experience some more warnings but the market has now proven that it can and will ignore bad news....that may not be the case throughout the summer...Investors seem to have a shorter time horizon and there are a lot of variables that impact Corporate Purchasing and Investor Psychology. I remain Cautiously Optimistic...=) Best Regards, Scott

jimmy....a bernz-o-matic will singe those remaining pin feathers.... nothing really changing in the economy...most of the quality and profitable chip makers are back above old support levels...would like to see some horizontal action....that would help to establish a near term, and hopefully longer term basing... what is troubling, but also encouraging, is how the junk jumps up rapidly.....i think we will not see the fear levels that give good old fashion capitulation....more of a rolling wash out.... stocks go up, stocks go down....sometimes they go sideways....did i leave anything out? downside risk a bit less...bad news, as motorola, being ignored....guess the mad hatters tea party is continuing...
