HI Bill; well for the last six trading days, the Big ones lose less on the down days and gain more on the up days, that's the trend inside the index and I wouldn't advise bucking a trend. Software is getting beat up bad, as are most small caps, but it's worse. This may set up things for small caps, but it's not happening now. Beyond all of that a small part of the market , that has bucked the down trend has been MICRO caps, they have not done well but as a grope they have not taken the hit the market has and show some modest gains. This I guess is because most Mutual Funds are not in Micro caps, so they seem to run more on their own steam, and are effected more by the small individual investor than by the Funds. ------------------------------ Any way I would not short Mega caps at this time, no way. I'd at least wait till I heard about G7 intervention and them messing with the dollar. Jim
