A typical example would be the Boeing Company. Boeing has been severely impacted by the "Asian Flu" with a marked reduction in order for new planes. Boeing buys lots of Cisco routers. They are cutting back on expenses because they are currently losing money. They will be laying off people next year. IMO, they will not be buying Cisco routers. If they buy any networking equipment to increase productivity, it will probably be gigabit ethernet switches which does not have the same profit margins as routers. IMO, Cisco will be hurt more than 3Com, Bay or Cabletron because of their heavy dependence on the enterprise sector.

European stocks also rebounded sharply in early Monday trading... msnbc.com Tech Sector stocks Our research suggests that investors over the rest of the year will continue to favor the strongest large-cap issues. To select stocks in sectors, we therefore started with a market cap of $5 billion, then eliminated troubled stocks trading below their 200-day moving averages. We then applied a special price-momentum screen, the FOG index, that assigns a high ranking to stocks that have advanced the most over the past 12 months but have consolidated or stumbled in the most recent month and quarter. This "breather"often sets stocks up for a new run of strong gains, according to our research. We chose the stocks in each sector with the highest FOG index. (The FOG formula, developed by Ford Investors Services of San Diego: 12-mo. % price gain minus 3-mo. % gain, minus 3 times the 1-m.o % gain.)
