you took no sabbatical you were around si all this time. you were just too dismayed to post here. iomega is coming back up but keep posting here because stocks go up and down, i thought that you with more than 2 years experience would know that by now.

this was a bad week for the whole tech sector and everything else. dow was down almost 400 points, nasdak about 100.

Last post of the day (maybe the weekend if I get drunk enough): To all disk drive stock lovers:

(from Street.com - nonsubscriber access)

Jon Olesky, head of block trading at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, believes stocks will trade up at the beginning of the week, but he doubts that the move will be sustainable.

"The market trades like it's out of gas," he says. "The fundamental stuff seems a little more negative than positive."

He adds that though the tech selling has been -- in his opinion, overly intense -- the charts still look bad.

"The disk drives, there's no sign of a bottom in those stocks. Certainly they haven't begun to make the kind of bottom that institutional managers like to see," he says.

(Back to me): So, when they come up a few points and get at least half way up those Montana-sized gaps on their charts: shoot 'em. I'm going to.

Happy trails. May your longs go up and your shorts drop!
