Take a look at the XLNX results when you have a moment. If they are so-so, I hope to buy puts if the stock pops tomorrow morning. Oh, and why didn't you remind me to ALWAYS have a third working on MU? -g- I am putless as this thing slides into the gutter.

This bull market has gone on so long, and there are so many people with enormous unrealized capital gains, that I guess it will take more than a 6% fixed income yield to persuade them to pay capital gains and sock their money away. Gradually, though, a certain number of long-time holders will cash in. At some point there will be enough new stockholders at higher prices, so that a decline of even as little as 10% might be an inducement to realize short-term losses for tax purposes. I am not even considering the more reckless speculators, especially people operating on margin at these levels. But God only knows what will happen if the general market levels sink to a point below which those who have been taking on mortgages, leasing automobiles, and recycling credit card debt can no longer count on their "wealth" to bail them out. The turning point may come when enough people say, "Hey, here I am down 15% for the year while I could have been ahead 6% in bonds." Incidentally, AMGdata shows about $3 billion inflow for the past week. Not that these figures ever tell much reliably, but it's the only thing there is week-by-week besides Trim Tabs. As already posted, the decline of money-supply growth is remarkable.

Michael: Do you remember about a year ago I PM ed you on the SPY vs MDY thingy. Message 9114516 and follow the links. BTW I was in Houston today and went in to chat with a broker at Waterhouse, man the place was packed and I don't mean that they are getting more market share than any other, but what I saw stunned me. Most of these people were opening up accounts and it was obvious to me that they were newbies, the fire in the market is pulling in yo yos by the thousands every day who never gave the market a second thought even a year ago.. ------------ Do you know where we could get a composite of how many NEW accounts are being opened..crap with this many mullets flooding the market IBM will go to $300-$400 , She is in the TuLip class now no doubt about it. I know she don't know how to build a PC , never has but then AOL is the worst ISP in the world too. The fact is the more you know how these Tulips are pure junk the worse off you are; it's not a sane market and good sense wont work as your fighting the brainless grunts who will buy anything with a big name and be proud of owning it. Analcystis don't work any more ..just ride the MO MO wave. The call buyers are going nutso too, ( they know every thing is going up so they buy what they think are cheap out of the money calls, ) I doubt they even look at the premium. Jim
