Minor parties live by short-term peaks and valleys, and unless there is an issue basis for their long-term survival, they are somewhat a risky undertaking.

We have been through some peaks and valleys this year.

We did some real good things. We had some peaks and valleys all through the tournament, but overall, it's something our program can be proud of and work for the future.

I told them before the game that we're going to have peaks and valleys, and just don't get too hung up on yourself when we're at the peak and don't get too down on yourself when we're in the valley. We could have folded there at the start of the fourth quarter, but we came out hard, moved the ball well and got some nice shots.

On a very short-term basis, you got a little oversold last week, and on a technical level, this is a pretty good place to get a bounce. In the greater scheme of things, last week's movement was significant, in that it was a stronger wave of selling than we've seen in a while.

Tech stocks were oversold on a short-term basis and on Monday everybody had to get out of them because of Microsoft, and then Tuesday everybody thought that if Microsoft is broken up maybe it's not the end of the world, and maybe there's an upside to it.
