Good points, John. I just get irritated at myself because I think I may be a trader trapped in the mind-set/body of a buy and hold type. Either that or my need for instant gratification periodically overtakes my good sense.<g> mph

Just an observation about the fact that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Now that SI has a people search feature, you might find it interesting to search on the name "scname". This guy posted quite a bit last fall, and actually turned out to be accurate in his warnings about a slump in the sector. Ironically, Luc T was his biggest opponent on that viewpoint at that time. Do any of you with much larger brains than me on this subject see a difference between the current climate and what scname was predicting back then? IMHO, we've been through the worst and it should be up from here (albeit with down days in between) I'm just trying to fathom what folks like LT are seeing now that they didn't see back in October/November. Is this simply a case of once burned, twice shy? mph
