Gerald, I understand your frustration with Jach, I have nailed him many times for his nonsense, but it doesn't seem to register with him, he just posts more of the same crap. If you look at the posts the last few days, you will see that the Cisco thread has turned into the "jach" thread. The guy seems to be manic in his posts, the sentence structure is disjointed to the point that you can't make sense of most of what he says, and he just won't stop. Gary has given up and left the thread because of him. I guess we are running into a new version of "Gresham's Law". Bad posters drive out good ones!

<Have criteria that tell you when to take profits and cut short losses.Stick to them and don't fall in love with the stock> agreed. One has to be on edge investing these days; of the 30 or so Telecom companies only a handful of about 5 or 6 companies are doing better compared to Jan, 98 (and threee of them are Internet companies, yhoo, excite and aol). The rest are down from 30% to 70%. Of the twenty or so Semi companies, most of them are down more than 40%. Of the fifteen or so Semi equipment companies, every single one is down more than 50%. Of all the disk drive and peripherals companies, the same, all of them are down more than 30%+. And, of forty or so computer and software companies, pretty much the same. So, hard to get in love with high-tech stocks these days.
