Luckily no damage. Nothing compared to the picture you posted. Sector info: ...from Zachs.com Money FLOW WEEKLY <In last week's Issue we cautioned against becoming too enthusiastic about big market surges. Likewise, market drops should not be taken too seriously either, because we are still going nowhere. In the past three years the Dow has been at its current price level of 10,104 at least 12 times. Whether we are up one week or down another, the overall trends have not changed in several years. Even the big run-up to January 2000 is looking only like the top of the multi-year trading range (with September 2001 as the bottom of that range). What does this mean for stock selection styles? Currently, it means that buying and holding stocks is a hard way to make money. We wish that were not true, because holding is easier than trading. Where is the Money Flow going now? It is flowing primarily to consumer-related stocks. Individual stocks in cyclical and consumer Sectors have good past histories, and these issues can be trusted to deliver solid performance (for now). That can change, but since it the current case, it means we should search for LONG positions among the stocks with proven performance histories. > Bollinger's current allocations, using I-shares:finance.lycos.com 70% US stocks, 20% international stocks and 10% cash.
