MB & all. Have you not heard the good news that all the tech problems are over? I know that every news article last week was mentioning doom and gloom in Asia, bloated PC inventories amid declining prices, memory glut, semi-equip that no one can afford to buy, over inflated stock market, possible technical corrections, etc. But this week that situation has changed entirely. <G> All the bad news is built into the stock prices of tech stocks, that is why the Nasdaq is up 100 points during the past week. How can there be a stock market correction if there is a sucker born every second, crawling out from every corner the eye can see? I'm not sure the sucker is the guy who sold too soon last week or the sucker who is buying this week.<g>

MB and thread, what's your opinion on Tidewater (TDW)? A buddy of mine thinks that they've been beaten down enough that there's some value there. I don't know what to think. thanks, Mike
