You still don't get it do you?
But then again, I keep forgetting that everything with you is a "paper-trade".
The market was off HUGE earlier, but the NDX was "strong" relative to the DJIA. Thus, as soon as a "bid" came back into the market, guess what happened to the NDX?
Ka-Booooooooom!
In other words, you couldn't be SHORT the strongest of all indexes. The one that you chose never made a new low for the move, as the SPX hit 1200.44
QCOM
GOOG
MSFT
AAPL
RIMM or any tech will take the NDX back to new highs, I highly doubt anytime soon. And im not expecting another bubble in the nasdaq until something as big as the internet comes along, until then the nasdaq will trade sideways for another 5-10 years. There is a major slowdown in our economy and if you think tech can weather this crazy storm you have to be a fool.
