. . . .On Software Sector. . .

Ynot, I think ORCL has been getting dumped from funds recently, since it was a non-performer lately. . .and I think this will continue. . .also, I expect all software companies to drop further, led by Y2Ks and MSFT over the next 5 months.

I was bullish on MSFT near-term, but am turning bearish on them. . despite Windows 2000. . .I am not as confident that they are going to be a winner in the new internet race either. . and with Linux being all the rage and many getting tired of Windows planned obsolesence . . .and the whole monopoly thing, in my opinion. . it will lead others lower.

I think Y2K stocks will suffer seriously this summer. I am not saying that all the software companies deserve to be reduced by 50 percent. . .but am saying that I think the sector will take a major blow this summer, alongside the internets, that are going to hybernate for the summer.

I meant teens. . . just like I said I was a buyer of CPQ at 19 and it hit 21. . .I believe Dell will trade below CPQ well before the end of the year.

Yeah, I tend to shake peoples theology now and then, but that's what keeps you on your toes. . .either you agree blindly, which I NEVER SUGGEST ANYONE DO. . . or you are forced to think about it for yourself and make your OWN decisions as to where YOU think a given stock or sector will be.

Hello?

I agree on software, in general, and software services specifically...thus my amazement at new buyers in BAANF SAP etc...however some market guerillas...ITWO may buck the trend...ORCL we shall see, i do have an opinion on this one, but may revisit in a couple of weeks...thank you for the prompt response...ynot :)

Valley Media (VMIX), a internet distributor of DVDs etc. with 70 % market share and a very decent p/e of 30, is up strong today before earnings tomorrow. Up 4 points since my call a day or so ago. -Tae

Rande,

Just as a test, I put in a buy for BDE at 6 3/16 when the ask was 6 1/4. I received a partial fill on my order. I'm not looking at my DTN, but I'm pretty sure the ask didn't drop. Just found it interesting. The same thing happened w/ ATMS last month. The ask was glued to $2, and I bought 1k lots several times at 1 15/16. I know ATMS is Naz. and BDE is AMEX.

Thanks for the alert, Jimmy. . . .Just bought some WAVO as a swing on pending something or other. . .actually, I was just about to get back into it after selling over 9 a while back and started placing my buys and boom the thing started wailing. . .was it something I said? <g>

Jason, what does this scenario lead you to believe? You said you found it interesting, in what way? I can see how that fill would lead you to say "hmmmm", but I can't figure out if it's potentially a good thing or potentially not.

I know your comment was directed to Rande, but I'm just curious...

Thanks.

T.,
I think its a good thing. Buying lower is better. Especially when a stock is low, like ATMS, an eigth or sixteenth has an effect when you multiply it by several thousand.

I mentioned it simply because it makes me, the small investor happy to achieve the best possible fill on my orders.
