energyplay, You asked , will some make the tech case ? Well I won't make a case for tech because I don't know when it will bottom. And I don't think anybody else does either. But what I love is the fact that everyone is waiting for capitulation, but believe they will be the only one not to capitulate and recognize it. YEAH RIGHT. You say telecom is dead for years but if you bought here and it took four years to double, I guess I would have only made 25% per year. And of course everyones portfolio does better than that. Yeah right. I remember when I bought into energy services when oil was $10 a barrel and they said it was going to $5 and would be dead and wouldn't recover for years. BOY DOES THAT SOUND FAMILAR? Maybe with telecom this time they are right but even if they are I will settle for my 25% a year. Take care.

Energyplay/Gottfried Topic: Bay Area Real Estate My wife and I were out looking at open houses this past weekend. We came to the surprising conclusion that, with the current combination of prices and interest rates, that we could afford property that was acceptable to us. In fact, were in the process of getting a realtor currently. In your judgement, do you think now is as good a time as any to buy real estate? Will property values go lower? Keep in mind that property values aren't necessarily tied to the success of tech in NorCal. We're seen lots of property on the market and plan to lowball a few offers before settling on anything. We'll enjoy our fleeting status as buyers in this buyers market. Warp
