Layoffs are bullish.
Until there are no jobs left here and India demands a 300% pay hike.

Haim:

It was very kind to me the last time I stayed with it and maintained my discipline ($110 down to under $70). I suspect it will provide a similar if not better return once this remarkable bubble explodes. I am still there.... patient as a spider. (g)

IBM is one of about 5 dozen "hide-out" stocks where many fund managers have stuck a great deal of money. They are rarely shy about throwing more money at stocks where they have huge positions that might be difficult to "off".

That said, once a few of "the boyz" decide to exit, we will witness a scene similar to what happened to MU as it fell from above $100 to under $10.... a steady, fairly abrupt fall down a steep set of stairs. I'll be there for at least a good part of it.

Notice as well that in spite of several attempts to "break out", it sure looks like the high eighties are a fairly solid ceiling.

Best, Earlie
