Markets started off strong on MSFT ER......but same old..same old issues were played again....so market closed near LOW of the day !!!!!
European bank writedown...ING bank among few mentioned......????
How much Fed will cut again ???
Did fed panicked on SOGEN rogue trader $7+ billion fiasco......????
Oh.....Europe stock markets stabilized without any ECB cut ???
What most commentators on CNBC forget that US fed 75 basis cut ..saved world markets.....
I have a "hunch" that there has been horrendous loss by many QUANT funds...and they are in the process of liquidating their margin calls...still.......that is the-reason that rally is being sold....
Markets have gone through relentless royal drubbings...but they are NOT rebounding in any meaningful manner YET......
In every bear markets ...stocks DO rally in a sustained manner.....then retrace 50% gain Again & again.......
I am sure Fed is aware of the distress of quant funds ????

Saleem, need your opinion on VMW... I have a nice chunk of shares @ avg cost of 90 and they are reporting on Monday after market... should I sell all of them during Monday and they re-buy after earnings....
I am just worried about the AAPL & INTC scenario.... what is your take?
Hi Troy,
As you know I followed VMW quite close......
VMW is trading @ 68.85 PE.....12/08......
Current market conditions are NOT kind to even blowout ER by MSFT...which is a low PE of 18.20..
Even if we take Sales growth % for 12/08 YOY it is 56.2% X $1.17=$65.75 is the MAX valuation I get...it closed @ $80.55 today.....
Yahoo Finance target for next 12 months is $105.88......
This is a very difficult market...& MSFT is also on its tail with its own virtualization software.
Plus one more thing....insiders will be able to sell very soon....
So...you have lot to think about based on all of the above.....

Hi Saleem,
Can you please explain today’s action of CSIQ ?
How come it kept on going down when other solar stocks were holding well?
what are your thoughts ?
Thanks
Hi Baljinder,
CSIQ went to $20.60..then profit taking set in......
On this profit taking it traded double its average volume.
Most stocks were under pressure because market tanked @ close.
Monday we will know better.
I am as disappointed as you.....it went further down AH ????

Hi Saleem,
Thanks for the tip on CCleaner. Nice little program.
This market is just not meeting my emotional needs! :)
Maybe Dr. Phil should step in.
Have a great weekend.
