ot hard to see that change. Going from MIPS to INTC. It's the way to go, but they'll compete against DELL and CPQ. AND UNIX programmers will have to switch to NT, which they'll hate. Then again, lots of them will start using LINUX. I read that the software developers for some of the BOEING projects did this. >>the nikkei's up 3%<< I wonder what's pulling up the Japanese? If they break 15,000, US markets will love that. I'm still not completely sure why we dropped so heavily today. I can see profit taking, but we dove down very hard in the last few hours... much more than I expected. Almost seemed like panic selling. >>Although I'm fascinated by the day to day activities of the mkt, in reality I am long coms (high 20's)and am looking for a double within 2 years.<< Me too. I'm expecting more than a double though. Plus, if we go down again into mid 20's (it will be the 5th time I think), one can make a good profit by not riding it down. Easier said than done though. 32/26 = 23% profit.
