Stefan i love it when i read about all this talk of bubbles, crashes, Y2k, and bear markets and other end of the bull sineros. I'm more bullish today than i was two weeks ago. This assessment was predicated on the fact that the internal statistics (breadth, the number of new highs to new lows, sentiment, etc.) were weak an that the anticipated sell off in the speculative Internet stocks would create a negative environment. Yes be defensive near term, but the best way to deal with this is to by the dips... October was the bottom!

>> a Morgan Stanley strategist, who has been bearish on the market for some time<< Give me a break! Even William knows that M&S and Mary Meeker championed this Mania. Who in the hell within their camp is now a bear??

>Shares of newly public companies like Marketwatch.com and Theglobe.com >have risen threefold or fourfold in a day Why is it that the media always base this comment on the IPO price and not the opening price? Marketwarch.com may have risen 80+ points off of the ipo price, but it also opened 80 pts off of the ipo price. The job of the underwriter is to sell stock to the public so that the company it is advising gets the proper price. The company is suposed to get the cash, not the CEO and the undewriters clients! Instead of $80/sh that the company should have received, it only got $17/sh because the underwriter underpriced the deal. I read about YHOO and Softbank dealings ad nausm on SI and in the press, yet no one has any problem with the above.
