I don't think technology will stagnate -- that is my point!!! What were the glory companies of the 60 and 70's are for the large part on the ash heap. I don't think one ought to go all to cash, but a reduced exposure to stocks makes sense. If you have little exposure and want to sell a few puts on something that you think is undervalued -- what the hay -- do it. All I was saying is make sure that it is undervalued based on historical standards which take in a large enough time frame. Kahuna very unlikely, but a slow grinding bear is not. At any rate, the last few years have been quite a melt-up for the darlings -- I guess it could unwind slowly, but I'm trying hard to understand how ... Retirement funds will always invest in stocks, I suppose, especially as the returns are heady, but will corps always buy back their stocks if earnings continue to shrink. Steve, I'm not trying to convert you to Kahuna-ism -- just saying keep an open mind. That's what I'm trying to do. The huge run from October to now sure did wonders for me ... Good luck.
