You're absolutely right that some stocks are at or near multi-year highs. General Dynamics is one (GD). Elan (ELN) is another. These are excellent companies I've had my eyes on for a long time. I can't generalize, because I don't have enough experience. Can these companies rise above the storm or will they be crushed with the rest?

I'm not laughing at the fact that some companies are doing great... some do even in terrible bear markets. It's the stat you presented seemed a bit meaningless... no time frame etc. <There's a lot of companies in there whose stock isn't the only thing that is up.> What, the CEO's are "up" late?? I expected to find a lot of defensive anti-tech that were low growth and had declining revs and margins in the ones that were up 100-200%. Lots of them have expanding margins even when they have declining revs. This really surprised me. > IMO expanding margins with falling revenues may be a red flag. DAK
