The Bear Phase Is Over

Enough is enough. We think that if Yahoo! (YHOO:Nasdaq - news - boards) blows up it might go up and we are sick of the raids on Sun Micro (SUNW:Nasdaq - news - boards). So we are going long both.

Don't get us wrong. We hear the pawsteps of the bears. We know about some report that says Sun has some accounting problems. We think that's a pack of lies. Sun's accounting is fine. We hear that the orders may not be on fire for the first quarter. But first quarter is a long way away (in stock terms).

We know that Yahoo!'s near-term business might be problematic. Heck, it wouldn't shock us if Yahoo! preannounced a shortfall and lowered numbers for next year.

But after the Cypress (CY:NYSE - news - boards) and the LSI (LSI:NYSE - news - boards) and the Xilinx (XLNX:Nasdaq - news - boards) and the Intel (INTC:Nasdaq - news - boards) blow-ups, I'm now thinking you have be long ahead of a Yahoo! blow-up or a Sun Micro negative call. If you wait, you miss the bottom.

Once again, I reiterate that the bear phase is over. This rally looks like the real deal. It has the financials and the techs and the drugs all up. Maybe we bounce down a little off NDX 3000, but then we just reload and go through.

Sorry to be so unabashedly bullish. But nobody else I know is, so it seems fine with me.
