As for me, well I might soon be moving from sippin' single-malt to chuggin' cans of malt-liquor. It's not that I can't afford better, but after days like today I'm cheap. I am eating pasta for dinner. However, I won't give up my $50/bottle cabernet/bordeaux. It makes the day seem not so bad. <VBG>

AD, Since you indicated that you find advice helpful, I will add an observation. There is increasing evidence that technology business is bottoming. CSCO, yesterday, and MXIM, today, have reported data that indicates that they have moved pass their bottoms. I follow RSI and Bollinger Bands at CoveredCalls.com, and they indicate an over bought situation for the stocks I follow. Unfortunately, the converging fundamentals of easy money, business bottom, and the calendar make a rally which lasts until Feb or Mar a reasonable possibility. Earlier this year you put your winnings into AMAT at 50, I believe. I don't think you should bet the farm against AMAT moving back to 50 with little movement to the downside along the way.
