Hi Jaime - In all honesty, and you know this, no one knows the future. All we can do is deal in probabilities. You saw the put/call data, you know the %Bulls/%Bears, you know how much money is coming in to the markets, and with the demographics expanding, there's more to come. If you're long in mutual funds, you can only make one of three decisions: Sell, hold, or buy more. If you buy or sell, you can't do it until the close tomorrow. If it gets so bad that you'll do anything to just sell and get out, that's more than likely when you should be buying. Remember, buy when there's blood in the streets! Also, realize that the pro's want to hammer this market down, They can't buy lower if there's no bad news -and- they're going to hammer it for all its worth and milk it for everything they can. But, once it turns back up, they're behind the curve again trying to catch up to get more fully invested again because they know new money just keeps coming in. Fear and Greed..... Have your plan, stay with it, believe in yourself, and stay tough. It will pay off for you in the long run..... Last I checked, Globex NSD100 was down -47.50, about 2.1%. Good luck!

Jamie; As of late lot of indicators, just have not been reliable in respect to past performance. Even my head/tail seems to have been breaking down, with so many mixed signals it's not safe to assume any of us can call the market logically and have to play on a hunch, ( sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good ) at any rate my small MDY short is going to pay off now. Message 8752563 There was just too few stocks involved in this last rally and with so much money in tulips it could get nasty before it's over. 1 PC demand is down, but the stock prices are based on growth. 2 Less consumer demand in PCs will mean less in other areas. 3 The Y2K thing is not going to boost spending, that's over in fact it's going to be just the opposite now until 2000 ----------------------- If the Tech sector does go into a slump a lot of money will be lost, the fact that old standbys like KO has been taking hits I think is trying to tell us something. ------------- Jim
