>>William the Bear?

Well, I'm almost completely in cash, so I'm very defensive. The IT stocks look like death. If that 9% growth scenario plays out, we could be looking at a 5700 Dow. Can you imagine? It gives me chills. That sort of decline could trigger fund withdrawls.

I kept Idec Pharmaceuticals. I'm looking at other small medical technology stocks (that are hopefully not part of the S&P) like Novacare, Omnicare, Curative Technologies, Gilead Sciences...stuff that's immune (pardon the pun) from a slowing economy, yet would benefit from lower rates. I'm just watching them right now, though.

BTW, my wife sold April 55 calls against her position today for something like $13.
