BMCS at 43 ! BMCS like MSFT, conservative with analysts,but beat est's and they have consrvative accounting ie. when win a contract they record the revenue slowly (vs a lot up front). Great management - you can even hold this as you would a MSFT BMCS went into S&P500 last year BMCS works with MSFT, ORCL, etc. biz.yahoo.com

Snerd - Yes, I do miss the old days too. However, I have always found that I do much better during periods of weakness than I do during periods of strength. That is the nature of being a trader and a very good argument for being on the sidelines with at least 75% of your trading capital at the close of each day. Sure a stock may gap and run away from you, but the ability to watch and wait through these periods and not be stuck 100% in falling positions allows you to take advantage of the eventual upturn....which certainly will happen here........eventually. But you must resist the big gap plays sometimes and be willing to pull that money out to take advantage of these situations. I am resisting the temptation to increase my trading base and pull money from elsewhere to take advantage of this situation....but we may not be done yet with the weakness and throwing more money in here may not be wise. Patience..... TJ
