Last Friday I could not go long because I was thinking about consolidating all my cash instead of spending whatever was available then. Therefore, I think I lost an opportunity. After today, I do not feel like going long in the chip sector because I feel like they may stay in a range for a while. Any suggestion what would be a good company to look at the Tech sector other than chip sector? I think INTC will stall at 77 and I could be wrong as well. I have no faith in IBM with its global exposure. MSFT looks okay but tomorrow there might be another lawsuit. DELL is all right but we heard about the sub 1000 PC. Any idea will be welcome. TIA. Bye, SB PS: CS reported .04 (estimate was .06) along with some buyout news. What's up with 3Com? I'm still waiting.
