Addi. With the NASDAQ dropping 26 pts and DOW shoot pass 9000 today, what is your take on this? Is this a temporary thing? Or once the earnings go out in mid April, we will see the same kind of euphoria we saw in the 1st 3 months of this quarter? What is the good price to get SUNW, DELL, INTC? I sold all my SUNW at 44.5, DELL at 68 and INTC at 77. I lost money on INTC only since my average price was around 82.5 for INTC, but INTC was my smallest holding. I just used the money I made in DELL (about 300k) in a 450K house payment. I only have about 100K left to invest in stock now. And I am 100% cash at this point. Good thing I don't have to tap in my 401K money for the house payment. But I have to think small now with only 100K to invest. The stocks that I am interested in right now are: SUNW, INTC, MSFT, ORCL, CSCO and DELL, they are kind of the dominant players in their respective market. But I have vowed to not touch them until SUNW hits 36, INTC hits 65, MSFT at 75, CSCO at 55 and DELL at 61, ORCL at 22. Besides DELL, INTC, and SUNW,I don't think I could get MSFT and CSCO that cheap now. What do you think of IOM at below 5? What is the bottom for SUNW? INTC? ORCL? MSFT? CSCO? DELL? ORCL?

It's a buying opportunity! I hope it goes lower so I can buy more! It's just consolidating at lower levels! It's taking a rest before heading higher! Nobody's getting my shares! It's the MMs again, yeah, that's it! It's the MMs and the shorts. Yeah, that's the ticket, it's professional short sellers loading up for the decline that will never materialize. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Dear twister: Please tell me you know where I can find some experts in dynamic compiler optimization technology? The Java developers are starting to get VERY angry about when our hotspot technology will be ready. From comp.lang.java.advocacy: ****************************************************************** "I share the same frustrations as several who have posted on to this newsgroup about the quality of the code coming from JavaSoft. We have been massively disappointed by JFC 1.0's quality, which in my opinion is so slooooow that its basically unusable. I challenge anyone to do any serious work with JFC 1.0's table. Even on a 200 Mhz Pentium or on a 200 Mhz Ultra 2 it can take up to two seconds for a row to highlight (!!!!?). We have decided to revert back to KL Group's Widgets - which may not look as slick as JFC 1.0 - but they're stable and their performance is acceptable (read 10 times faster than JFC 1.0!). What is particularly disappointing is that JavaSoft's parent (Sun) has a reputation for producing good, conservative products that generally kick ass. If SunSoft produced the same dreck that JavaSoft is producing there would not be many of us using their products in mission critical systems. I know nothing of JavaSoft's mamangement - but clearly there has been some disconnect for it to have focused entirely on features and forgetting that ppeople are trying to get work done with their products. Another case in point has been HotSpot - a product that JavaSoft has been hyping for almost a year now. Offically they are saying to wait for the fall - but others in the know have told me it could be much later than that. Sun - and JavaSoft have sold us a vision. They damn well better start producing on this vision or this advocacy group will be a lot smaller in a year's time." ***************************************************************
