Too many "experts" believe the market is overvalued. This creates a
lot of selling pressure (or buying opportunities)After the
completion of this earnings season,
I am not expecting big moves in the markets on a short term basis.
However, we could see run ups in stocks like DELL, CSCO, which
don't report in this month. I had invested 100% in DELL back in
August, which protected my portfolio from the general market
declines that month.

As for Microsoft, I cannot imagine it dropping below 155.
More likely would be base at 160 to 165. By late
February or early March watch for huge gains as people
try to jump on the Microsoft train going into the April earnings.
I expect it to go much higher going into April earnings. ----About 200 (we could
see it in late February or Early April).
We could see short term volatility but this baby is going to be
at least 200 by mid April.

BTW- The stock split is one of the ways MSFT could stop a sell off
in the stock if they lose the DOJ case in a big way (which is
unlikely).

Greenspan's comment came in at the noon. Market did not react to it. At the end of day, Greenspan's comments were just being used as excuse for profit taking.

We still haven't heard from IBM, SUNW, CPQ, DELL. TXN posted great earnings. All the tech stocks, specially, computer hardware/software companies have done extreamly well. I wouldn't be surprised if Nasdaq hits 2600 by after Dell announces their earnings in Fabulous February. WOW!!!
