Robert, <<It seems like I am spending a lot less time lately reading SI posts. Why? We've just had a big run which was preceded by a hefty decline; ample meat for bulls and bears alike. My bookmarks are all empty and the few posts that appear are, like this one, off topic. Is it the holidays? Is it because everyone but me has made so much money on internet stocks that they are cruising the Greek Isles? >> Funny, I was just thinking about that today. I haven't had as much interest lately either. Since I got back from vacation I have been busy catching up with work. But I just have not thrown myself back into reading the market and SI like I was. Now I learn that it isn't just me. Are we all holding our breath? I have a feeling that if we could somehow tap into the collective psyche and learn an explanation it is worth some money. <G> Best, Stitch

Robert; This is one of the most difficult times to pick and spot investment trends. The average Main St American is more concerned about shopping, family and finishing up the year. The large inflows of IRA money is just around the corner. I think its a fair question to ask about the asset allocation models that people will use next year. Bond yields are extremely low and they have appreciated tremendously. Oil prices and low interest rates should stimulate the economies of the world. Perhaps more than Allan Greenspan intended which means now more interest rate reductions. Add that to the House Judiciary Committee restarting their daily circus and you have a recipe for market mediocracy. At least Stitch doesn't have to watch Geraldo and the nightly parade of talking heads telling us what to think every night. Seagate may benefit next year from being one of the neglected stocks of this past year. At least I hope so........ Kevin Linder
