This morning I took the 7:00 am JetBlue flight out from Ft. Lauderdale to JFK. The emergency row where I was seated was empty. I waited until the markets opened before I took my 90-minute nap. The Dow lost its gains after the rate cut news and at the open it was almost down 200, for the sixth day in a row. When they went to the NASDAQ side, Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM and the rest of the techs were all down, considerably. The reporter named a number of NASDAQ winners of the day including Citrix Systems, Symantec, and a few other pure Virtualization players. Can you believe that? The end of the world as we know it is here and Virtualization stocks are going up 3-6% on a day like today. Unbelievable!
