With companies like GE we expect earnings to remain strong through next year, where the momentum with tech may begin to slow.

Next week we have a raft of earnings in the tech sector, with STM, Philips and Nokia. We have got to see evidence that if the bad news is not turning into good news, then at least the bad news is slowing,

I don't think earnings momentum is going to fall off a cliff, but we can't expect to continue at the same rate we saw in 2005.

I expect Maurice to be back there pushing me all the way next year,

I think it (the sell-off) was very overdone. For some of these companies, the fundamentals remain very strong.

I expect a high-tech rally in the next few days. The shares have been hammered too much and as the mainstay issues for foreign investors they will start to pick them up at these levels.
