derek, I suppose your warning is based on gut feel? That's ok. I have a question on the value of futures vs expected market action the next day. Last night and many nights before the SP500 futures and NASDAQ100 futures were posted here. Since both were up, we thought that was a good sign for the market today. Now the rally has fizzled. How good an indicator are the futures? Maybe they are good only as an indicator for the opening the next day? GM

Derek,if I bot at 26,I would grow horns too.Until Asia stabilizes and we enter 1998, Amat will wait to get to fair value, which is about 40.We are adjusted to Morgan & Co. announcing 42, down from 52 on next Q.The company had an opportunity last week and everybody expected the adjustment, but the Q is too young now.Silence is golden.me
