Many sectors are cyclical, like the housing market, energy companies, and even sometimes in tech (the dot.com mess). They will run really hot and times and then generally followed by really cold. Back in the late 90s, some of my work friends decided to take jobs in the .com (stock options with no pay) mess. They kept telling me I should do the same thing. I saw the writing on the wall it would never last and would much rather stay with a lower paying, but very safe job with extremely high job security. - Mark ÿÿÿ --- WWIVToss v.1.52 * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (21:1/132.0) .
