RDB... >>Bob, I'd agree but for one thing - what will be the effect on the market and other, more reasonably valued tech stocks when the bubble finally bursts? << That is my biggest concern. Being retired, I have SS income, one small pension and a lot of mutual funds and a bevy of stocks heavily weighted toward Drug and Tech. I do some trading on the short side and except for ZITL, lately I have not had much success. In looking at my "nest egg" with both the MFunds and stocks in essentially big cap and hi-growth, a big sell off will give me concern. My back up strategy is to buy a bunch of puts on my stocks and sell the mfunds. The good news with my mfunds is that I can trade at no commission buy or sells. Just pay a yearly fee based on total amount of assets. Overall up about 45% since last Oct. without any trading so I have some downside room. Good trading Bob T.
