Are you still placing wild-eyed bets on tech and communications? biz.yahoo.com <<" In talking to people I'm amazed at how limited their investing knowledge is, and I constantly hear phrases such as, 'Just throw some money into Cisco. It's so cheap right now you're bound to make a lot of money off of it.' Apparently just because Cisco used to be $80 a share, they think that inevitably it has to get back to that point no matter how poorly the economy or Cisco performs. What those call-in show listeners are asking for is someone to tell them that it's okay to invest in those risky companies; they know what an incredible risk it is, but if they hear that someone else thinks its a good idea then they can go for it. I mean, Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN - News) used to be $110 a share--at $17.97 it's a steal, right?">>
