Joe, Don't feel bad. I liquidated 30% in Nov. 97 (DOW:7800). Another 30% in Jan. 98 (Dow: 8100).....And 30% recently (DOW hit 9000 first time). Guess what??? If I did not touch, I could buy a new BMW 98 (gain over 33% since Nov. 97).. Crying!! My kids have to go to inexpensive school now!!. I just jump back in LU, CSCO, UNPH, JBIL, YHOO and SPYG!!! "BULL" market... I am not fighting the "TAPE". Good Luck Joe,

If I recall correctly they kept adjusting IBM earnings down through the quarter. So what appears to be "beating estimates" is not so hot. That's why I said earlier that it appeared to be manipulated. I hope they gun the market early on it. If so, it's possible to score on the short side. If not then we have to wait. Best guess.
