Sounds like the trend is moving in the direction of sanity.

It does seem as if the NASDAQ is getting a slight beating. Apparently President Clinton's speech today essentially "nationalizing" the results of gene research sent the biotechs into a spin and took the rest of the market with them. I'll be interested to see if this is the beginning of a correction for the NASDAQ similar to what the Dow has been going through for the past two months.

seems there is ALWAYS SOME LAME EXCUSE for the market dropping.

i can understand the biotechs dropping with clinton's big bid to thrill his global buddies by giving away US research (he gives everything away--i just wonder in which global government position he will land). HOWEVER, please explain to me how the technology stocks were dragged down too?
