05-01-02 08:57 AM Opening Comments & Plays IMO- This decline has yet to reach deep oversold conditions so I'm treating yesterday's rally with suspicion. The big indices tested short term resistance but backed off towards the afternoon. Yesterday was the dead cat bounce that I mentioned so I'm still looking predominantly short. Other than PALM, I have tight stops on my long positions.

I won't have time today to write up a commentary, but here is a stock I'm watching. IMO- SUNW - Short CEO & COO resigned..... I wouldn't be surprised if accounting irregularities arise, then Moodys cuts credit rating.....and you know the rest. (ENE, KM, WCOM...)
Did anyone short CREE yesterday or today? IMO - This stock appears to be trending downward for at least a point from the close.
The SOX is testing the 500 level again....if it breaks look for more significant downside. I'm still long 5 May 560 puts @ 17.00 This sector looks weaker by the day. We had the dead cat bounce yesterday and I anticipate a break through short term support soon.
