Your idea is probably sound. The tech sector is going to be rough for a while. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxery of being able to sell out. I have thousands of shares of INTC and CPQ. Both, with great gains and can't afford to pay uncle sam if i sell right now. I am going to sell covered calls against these positions probably on Tuesday (hoping for a rebound after the initial CPQ shock Monday morning). I am a very unhappy camper. I don't mind losing money when the game is played fairly but INTC and CPQ didn't do so. Not by a long shot. I sure hope the SEC looks into the games CPQ played in Decemeber to pick up the 4thQ numbers. I don't have any SI support to launch a private civil action against CPQ and INTC. Most of the posts have been supportive of INTC management. I am afraid that people who buy company stocks like INTC become groupies of a company and can't handle criticism.
