I agree that today was not good but George Soros says that if you can identify where conventional wisdom is headed with a stock, and you can find a different path to take then you can make a great deal of money. Conventional wisdom holds that Intel will be negatively affected by the slowdown in sales of personal computers, in a quarter that normally shows a slowdown in the sales of computers. Conventional wisdom holds that this is not just a first quarter typical slowdown. Thus conventional wisdom holds that we are on the verge of the great economic slowdown that will cut the rate of growth of the tech stocks permanently. Conventional wisdom holds that the internet stocks are somehow immune to this slowdown. If conventional wisdom is wrong then I make a lot of money.
