This is from DBC.COM..... Given that the market was deeply oversold on a short-term basis, recent bounce not all that surprising... Important not to forget, though, that most of the leadership stocks in the tech sector continue to exhibit bearish chart configurations so it is too early to suggest that the correction is over... DJTA -24.84.. DJUA -1.83... SOX -4.21.

Hank & Hank, You didn't answer the question. Do you only focus on the charts, the numbers and the overall-market, or are you also try to understand the fundamentals of the stocks you put your money in. We both look from different angles to the market. From my point of view you are making the wrong decisions the last few days. Even the chance that Sadam will help you is decreasing. Why are you still short on Dell, with a COMDEX and an earning- release coming soon? Why all these troubles to win a few bucks on the downside, while it is so easy to make (much more) money on the upside with a simple buy and hold-strategy? Why taking such a gamble on shorting CTXS? (Although I consider being long on CTXS as gambling too. Only my risk-reward ratio is better). I know there always is a chance that the unexpected will happen, and you be right. Maybe Dell will post negative earnings next week, and will announce taking a one-time charge. But you have to agree that the odds are against you. And you should also know that you are betting against the longterm trend. So your time is limited. A long can always wait when things go wrong, shortterm. You cannot do that. You have to be right within a certain timeframe. Paul
