I agree completely with that Haim -- I thought you were making a comment more general about the economy turning around. That was what I referenced ... I would not short tech stocks here (neither would I buy them). I believe we are headed into a sever recession and there will be many "false-breaks" where it looks like things are about to get better for businesses but they don't. The problem is not where stock prices are, or where interest rates are -- BUT where they have been and what this has caused: namely misallocation and destruction of real economic capital -- productive goods. AG would say "distortion." That's a perfectly good word -- I just think he is off by a few orders of magnitude as to how bad the "distortions" or "imbalances" are which have accumulated during the last 7 - 8 yrs. Good trading. Whither the Euro and Yen??
