Who are these folks who are dumping stocks, driving the market down? I for one am certainly not among them….the basis I have in Apple, Cisco, Intel, etc. is considerably higher than what they are going for now, and to sell (capitulate) would surely lead to huge losses that would take years to recover. Are people thinking this will lead to something like the 2001-2002 bubble where tech never fully recovered? I am hoping that this is not the case, and that we’ll soon see some kind of stabilization when people realize there is intrinsic value in many of these companies, below which share prices should not fall. Where it makes sense, let’s start buying folks!

then you need to go back and re-read it: it is a question i ask the community. I just made comparisons with what they could do with their market cap.

I agree, especially in some of the telecom stocks and at the same time the market is disregarding the problems of large phone companies. it is strange times.

as per image, that is the old stock ticker when they used to use paper. :-)

too old for young men like yourself.

Rough, rough times for the stock market. Just read on TechCrunch about Yahoo! tanking bigtime, now at just over $10.00 a share.

Google will probably come back up in the next year or two, but we’re really in a deep trough at the moment.

Thanks for the update, Om.

Essentially with this decline the market is saying that Google’s advertising model is not as safe as it seemed to be. that is why the stock constantly is retreating. It is a leading indicator of what market perceives is the “problem.”
