Dipy,

Ok, after much thinking tonight and consulting my wife, I appreciate it if you would please help me in making some investment decisions. Not that I will follow your advice but since I have come to respect you (despite you being a bitter old pessimist arrogant man!), I value your view (to some extend) :)

Anyway, So as it stands, my entire assets (excluding my house) is based on the following: 45% already invested (all 100% high techs - VTSS, CSCO, LSI, JDSU,MSFT, IBM, INTC, OPWV, CIEN, GLW, ONIS, HWP, CPQ and a few other smaller ones), and I have been shorting ARBA (from around $15/shr), and JNPR (from around $12.75/shr) which I have not covered neither of them yet, and 10% Bond, and 45% cash sitting there getting about 2% interest!

I am going to invest 80% of my cash, and here is where I am trying to decide how to distribute it.

I was going to put all of it in the high techs (by accumulating the stocks I already own). However I am now open for suggestions, eventhough I am still very much inclined toward investing at least 75% of this cash into these high tech stocks and accumulate. The remaining 25% I am open to other suggestions. My timing to invest would be toward the end of October (however that also I am open for suggestions).

Your comments will greatly be appreciated.

Regards,

Dipy,

**Yes, GX is a member of the S&P 500 right now, but going by the rules (market cap of at least $3b), it will get thrown out any day...**

If that were a hard and fast "rule" rather than "criteria" you would be correct. As it is, we will see.

LSI would also be under 3 bil. market-cap should your oft-stated prediction of single-digits come true. Even if that does happen, I will be surprised to see either of them exit the S & P 500 because of market cap criteria.
