AAH, Yes, Western Digital. I've been looking over WDC for several years.And every time I look I say no. They had a good name in the hard drive business once,and still do with some, but they've had some quality problems -- or so I've heard. I've been buying Maxtor, IBM and Seagate drives(But not the stock). MXO actually looks to me to be the better/buy in hard drive manufacturers by my parameters(Debt/Equity = .28 && Price/Book = 1.5 ) vs WDC (D/E = 4.12 && P/B == 37 ), though I'll grant that WDC has the momentum at the moment.. Having said that, I'll add that in the storage line I bought small quantities of EMC and NTAP during late September-- not because they looked good to me, just because they were so darned cheap. Whey you say Actually, from a technicians point of view, most downtrend lines have been broken but I understand what you mean. I'll agree with you from a draw a line on a chart point of view. From my point of view we may have over-corrected the 9-11 reaction. It looks like Afghanistan is going OK. Earnings Pre-Announcements haven't started coming in yet. The long bond is dropping in price again(interest rates going up). There's a lot that can go wrong right now. Not saying it will, but I'm not comfortable. Plus Rukeyser took Friday off and you know what happens when he does that! tgptndr
