"Tech Stocks Retreat!"
Posted by Jerry Kuch Fri, 12 May 2006 20:45:00 GMT
Several times today I’ve heard people say that Expedia’s earnings disappointment was “a bad sign for tech stocks,” or that it could, or should, or did “trigger a retreat in tech stocks.”
I don’t know why. A hundred years ago, if Sears-Roebuck hit a soft spot in the mail order catalog retail business, did the feckless, chattering, financial news classes, in whatever primeval form they then existed, burst forth to warn of a bad signs for the pulp and paper industry?

But I'm not sure why :(
Thanks for the write-up :)
