Down another 8.5% for the company. Stock price near the 52 week low which was accomplished last Thursday. Overall we're down about 50% from our high last June. Boy am I glad I didn't cave into the employee stock offering. Lots of pressure to buy and support the company. I do expect to take up the offer next time around.

So how's everyone else doing?

Lexmark got hit HARD late last year. LXK is sitting around the 30% mark off it's 52-week high.

I am one year away from graduating, and taking up permanent employment there. I hope to God there is still a permanent position for me then.

:( <- poop is scared about employment

My company was only down 7% today, I really thought it would have dropped more today. I would have shorted it but I'm not allowed to :(

It's times like this that I'm glad that I'm not a) working for a tech company, and b) working for a company that ist publicly traded.

Computer sales seem much more sliggish, the industry has lost its 'hype' in a big way. CompUSA, cororate sales.

Our corporation is private, so we are going strong! Thank God someone is. I hope business picks up. My mom's on four days, and my best friends mom is on 2-3 days. :( Its usually the people in the factories that get hit the hardest, and they need the money the MOST. :(

Went up a little last week, but down again this week. Very, very close to a 52 week low.

We went down 4.35% today which isnt too bad xcept for the fact that our stock is only at 15 a share. Symbol is GTW and you can prolly figure out who i work for by looking at my Icon :)

Didn't lose anything...I'm so glad right now to be working for a company that decided to delay its IPO for awhile.

Ripped:

With delayed cuts in rates, spending on capital equipment is likely to be pushed back making the trough of the technology cycle that much longer to endure. The recent warnings from the tech heavyweights call into question whether we're currently in the trough of the tech cycle or whether the bottom won't be seen until 2002. Market internals on both the Nasdaq and the NYSE were atrocious. Nasdaq decliners led advancers by 31 to 7 with declining volume representing 95% of total volume. NYSE decliners led advancers 24 to 7 with declining volume representing 91% of total volume. These numbers represent extreme sell pressure and place the indices that much further into oversold territory.


I hate to rub it in, I went 100% liquid in August of last year! :)
