Ah, um, yes, you caught me speaking my position. Last week, I bought EMC 2004 LEAPs when the stock hit 16. Also have stock, at........higher prices.

IMO, when business spending picks up, it will not be across-the-board. Different sectors will come back at quite different times. Some may not come back at all. IMO, the first ones back (and I mean profits, not just sales) will be:

1. storage (not servers)
2. last mile alternatives to the RBOCs
3. wireless (less sure about this; I see no near-term killer app for wireless data)
