With Perma-Bears like Jim Grant on TV, the bottom must be near ;-) I sold one of my puts on SOX today, and covered a little on my tech shorts. Way too much semi shorting going on. Bought more consumer finance puts - lower premiums (unlike tech) and stocks in Solid downtrends. Xilinx said sales would be down 20-25% and they were taking a big inventory write off. XLNX off slightly after hours. Raymond - Do you know anything about JNIC ? Fiber channel for Storage area networks...no debt, $4.50 cash, $6.00 stock price.

Raymond, Yes, I enjoyed the whole, well-written article and quoted the most interesting/amusing part to me: Message 16324236 The Latin was a bit beyond my vidi, venci, veni, but it seemed to be an older version of: when the ducks quack, feed them. Kb

Hi Ray! >> The world wants to be deceived; let it therefore be deceived. << Man, ain't that the truth! My background is in sales. You'd be surprised how many people would get upset if you pointed out something that was truthful but they had believed otherwise. Salesmen have a saying, "The last liar wins!" I had to teach my salespeople to never knock another product when comparing. Even though the product the prospect owned was a POS, you never tell them that because they don't want to admit they made a mistake in buying it to start with. Analysts are salesmen, aren't they? May the last liar win! dabum
