<<The one thing to note is that the warnings are coming from the optical/telecom equipment sectors..and some wireless as well.
The semis seem to be on track with their lower expectations. >>

NV, the warnings I see are coming from everywhere, and not just tech. But even in tech, the semis are warning right and left. IRF did a doozy tonight. Smaller firms are warning constantly. Yes, Novellus and KLAC seem to be saying that the quarter is on track (but what will they say about next quarter when they report these earnings)? Heck, Adobe beat estimates after the close, but guided revenues lower for the next few quarters. That sure sounds like a warning to me.

I guess I just don't know how you can limit the warnings to a few subsectors of high tech. I feel like the kid in Sixth Sense: "I see earnings warnings."

Mind you, I don't know exactly what this'll do to the Naz (my guess is "not help it much"), but I strongly disagree with your saying the warnings are only in a few sectors.

NV, you must not have seen what they did to IRF after the close, and IRF has very little exposure to the "new economy", I big chunk of their business is real old economy, but they warned of a 30% shortfall and promptly they got it from around $55 to $42 before a little bounce...
