This thread sure is funny. We are up 5 today after being up about 10% yesterday, and no posts. We drop 5 points and everybody long starts moaning (some start buying wondoring if we are catching a falling knife), and everybody short or those on the sidelines deluge the board with "I told you so, It is getting a lot cheaper, I will buy in the low 40s, I will wait for the 20s, etc. etc. " I am just glad the market fluctuations alllowed me to buy back at a reasonable price. However, a word of caution - the wild trading in the Internet stocks and NASD should be cause for concern. Broad indices are not supposed to drop 5% one day and jump 3% the next. I also don't think we have seen the end of the mini-correction that could occur as soon as all the earnings are out and people start worrying about the next quarter and interest rates. If the rally in SUn continues for the next couple of days I am buying some 55 puts (Dale, please note it is not a "short" but a hedge). Regards Alok Charles- I sincerely hope you are not depressed anymore.

Has anyone determined whose equipment continue's to fail at Schwab? Apparently it went down again today. Probably some "killer" NT servers. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :-) One thing no one mentions in the Sun vs PC server vs Linux is that the manufacturers of the PC servers are getting killed with competition and they don't like it one bit. The margins are being driven razor thin like the desktop market and clone makers are popping up everywhere. I have read in at least one trade magazine that some of the big manufacturers are reconsidering their NT server business. david
