Very different, and the world is going wireless, which bodes well for FO, and storgae....well, storage will be one sector that is always growing.......quit getting yourself bent out of whack over these short term volatile swings....you have prooven and admitted your not a good trader, and I know you are letting the market create uneeded stress....be smart.....buy the right beaten down companies now, forget the short term, and sleep well at night.......as stressed out as everybody is right now....as bummed as everybody is....as unsure as aeverybody is.....I'll bet you $1000 that 20 years from now, those that bought naz at 2000 and under, will be very happy campers, and those that didnt out of fear will be wondering why they missed such an opportune time to buy quality companies at respectable prices...........just my opinion.....hate seeing you so bummed and stressed all the time.....this downfall in equity prices could be the best thing that ever happened...to those that are buying....or the world could be over and we'll never see naz 5000 in our lifetimes....it's up to you to decide what you feel the long term future holds. best, Keith
