Agreed......I said my prayer for dealer and toms mother this morning....I hope all will do the same.

I'm already onboard jdsu...been onboard for years.....but will look to add more if they want to bring it down......I am looking past tomorrow. Long term, jdsu should be just fine, IMO.

Keith, looks like JDSU is aiming towards your target price to get onboard.

UF,

I must admit that I'm very shocked to see how the market reacted today. BTW I also screwed up on INTC. Up after hours.

My prediction was "IMHO". I never did and never will claim to know what the market will do, how the "Houses" will manipulate it, and announce what my "Angels" are saying. There's quite a difference.

'Looks like we saw the "bottom" after all. Oops, I forgot the "IMHO".

Good words Frank.......

[Uncle_Frank]

>> ...and today won't be any better....

You had good reason to make that prediction, but look how it's turning out. Most of the stocks on my tracker are green, and even Cisco is only down fractionally (or should I say decimally).

It just goes to show the risk one takes by stating an opinion, no matter how well formed. But there's no need to fry you for making it, any more than there is to fry Voltaire for stating his opinions and ideas.

Live and let live is a very wise philosophy to live by...

Yep....scary to be long or short in this market.....

[R.Black]

I just can not believe that CSCO is about to turn green. Crazy market!

[R.Black]

...unless INTC gives a hell of a report tonight...which is doubtful.

INTC's earnings announcement tonight might just be a non-event. That'll be a first!

[R.Black]

...and today won't be any better....

Great news.......I am glad dealer and toms mother came out of this OK....but yep, your right....didn't see much good news on the stock fronts, though

[R.Black]

The only good news we got today:

I agree with Keith on this one. It deserves a moment of our time and a special prayer. Hang in there D & V.

NTAP, would be a long term hold, although I certainly would be open to covering my position, but that would depend on Price, market conditions and etc.......

Keith

[R.Black]

KG4, just for info, will it be for LTBH only or will you consider selling calls if it goes up slightly? If so, which ones would you consider?

[im a survivor]

Agree with you frank......will look to grab some at $12, but will save some dry powder in case she hits that $8 I see in the charts.

Thanks for your opinion....and one last thing.....my beef with dealer has nothing to do with you....I have no probem with you at all and respect your opinions greatly......dealer is a different story, but I'll leave it at that.......

best,

keith

[Uncle_Frank]

I thought it better to respond to you on your own thread.

>> NTAP just warned.....watcha think Frank...is $12 realistic for me to shoot for?

I don't know, and I'm not qualified to make those kinds of guesses. I just think ntap is an excellent company with sustainable competitive advantages.

NTAP WARNS

dont know about rmbs....I finally got sick of the giant FUD cloud and bailed at $28.86.......I would expect they are going to have huge legal bills, which could hurt their numbers....but who knows with that one.

keith.....hoping ntap comes back and retests it's lows so I can grab some...

[im a survivor]

Thanks.....I hope people use this thread for it's intended purpose.....and that is not to attack anyone or any stock, but to feel free to express your opinion about a persons stock picks, a particular stock, investing strategy or whatever.....without fear of being persecuted for what you feel......I'm a diehard carolina fan, but you can dis the heels all you want, and I promise your post wont be deleted just because I dont agree with you <ggg>

As for the market....Man, I have no idea...everytime I think I have it figured out, it surprises me. On one hand, I am ready for the bull to be back, but on the other hand, I wouldn't mind picking up some bluelight specials on ntap, extr, sunw, jdsu, orcl, atml and a few others.......so.......who the heck knows..........2000 will be interesting. If we bust thru 2000 and HOLD IT, it could send the bears into nibernation and bring some of the trillions back into the tech sector....on the other hand.......will we break and hold 2000, or is this just another bear trap that should be sold into.....opinions anyone else??

Keith...happy if we go up or down. Fully vested, but still have a small amount of cash to spend if the blue light specials come back....

[R.Black]

Hey there Keith, congratulations on your new thread. Good idea. Unbelievable that your post on the "other" thread hasn't been deleted yet (i hour after being posted).

SO, is this a sucker rally or not? RIMM reporting tonight, RMBS tomorrow (I think), JNPR tomorrow before the markets open, etc. It could be a very rocky Thursday.

Good luck to you and I wish your thread success.
