Investors have been taught not to panic sell by the media. How many times have you read that if one holds thru a "crash" they would actually have done better that one that tries to time the market? Now for the majority of "buy and hold" sheeple, history is correct because they invest in the large caps. Online trading has brought a large number of 'investors' that have never experienced a bear market or even a major correction!! I think it's obvious from many places, the biggest being the Internuts. Panic?? I think when the Internuts drop big we will see panic like in the past, And I'll be ready to BUY!!

Scott, I tried to turn on the news and all I hear is Princes Die's anniversary. Do they have nothing better to talk about? Don't we all remember the 550 point drop last Oct.? All the way to the airport and while waiting for departure (delayed, of course) they were talking about the market and how the sky is falling. It ended up making new highs. I don't see it now and the technically the DOW is headed down and it's only time for the "funedmental" factor to drop by. We'll see how it does on Monday. The DOW is too close to its 8K mark (8051) and may brake it Monday for a psychological downward pressure. I'm looking at MRVC for a technical rebound. We'll see. Even the ones to short can bounce back (ex. ZAP up 10% to $12 and GMGC up 22% to 6 1/4) so it's better to just stick to the target price and move to the next one. Have a great weekend, Marty
