finally happened, prediction made March2001

best recollection:
this tech wreck decline will not be over until a dozen or more major bigname tech stocks are selling for single digits, could be several months, could be a year

under $10:
CIEN, JDSU, GLW, JNPR, EXTR, SUNW, LU, NT
(it was Juniper and SunMicro that woke me up)

soon to happen perhaps:
NTAP, EMC, CSCO

Cisco is still my barometer for upcoming kicks in investor nuts
it is a $5 stock trading for $15
which will require at least five years of growth to catch up to simply "lofty" valuation from "insane bubblishious" valuation now
how this charlatan growth stock has eluded the incisive scrutiny of Wall Street knives, is beyond me
as Porter of Harvard BSchool said, Cisco's growth is probably substantially less than believed, but very difficult to measure

I say the tech decline is just about over
the NazComp and QQQ are surviving a Sept low retest
we got a run from here to September
probably will require short skirts and spring floral dresses to inspire the rally
just like last year
nothing like the thought of sex to open a wallet

down the line, I fully expect the Federal Reserve under GreenScrotum's brilliant (NOT) aegis to raise interest rates much later this year
EXACTLY when consumer spending is about to droop
thus compounding the likelihood of a serious DOUBLEDIP into a real recession
interest rates via the bond market are likely to rise from here to summer's peak
and GreenSlamm will be led to raise shorterm rates in unison
I hope the little gnome resists raising rates all year long

by real recession I mean a nominal recession with sizeable GDP drops for consecutive quarters
which is pockmarked by big declines in auto sales and house sales, something we have not witnessed

whether we like to hear it or not, the AlQaeda attack on NYCity forestalled the big recession

the upcoming recession is built upon the more encompassing investment cycle
characterized by high debt, excess products, excess capacity, and low inflation
we havent seen this kind of recession since 1930
and we got it in spades now
absolutely no resemblance in this slight recession to any post-WW2 recession

how is the wind off the lake ?
