All Aboard! - Heard on the Boards Sun of a gun By Jeff Clabaugh, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: 1:34 PM ET Apr 20, 1999 Internet stocks MarketWatch's Net headlines There wasn't a positive sign in front of any of the stocks on Monday's most actives list and there wasn't a whole lot of positive talk on their investor message boards either. Sun Microsystems (sunw: news, msgs) fell almost $5, or 9 percent, after word of delays in orders. It was Sun's seventh straight daily loss and at SiliconInvestor's Sun message board, some investors were clearly getting tired of Sun's bad run. Charles Tutt ..."Well, today really sucked! Another 10 days at 5 bucks a day and we can buy in at zero!" A few postings called Sun's inclusion in the Monday blood bath unjustified, but not everybody agreed. John Works ..."Any more unjustified than the exponential climb to the 70 area peak at which point Sun was up 250 percent from the October trough? Funny how very few longs ever classified the crazy ramp-up in these stocks as unjustified. Sun's a great company and I'm long. But given the still lofty valuations of everyone's favorite growth stocks, this washout looks like it has more room to run." And despite the spanking Sun investors have taken over the last week, there are still those in the stock that have held on to a level headed sense of humor about it. Steve Dietrich ..."I think the stock market is broken; it says I've been losing money lately. Haven't we seen enough of these tech-wrecks to know not to panic?" Good work, guys. Sueponine.
