During my vacation in Cancun, Mexico I heard only bad news about stock market. As active eTrader i decided to let it go and keep my stocks wethout selling them. Only after I arrived in Boston i logged in myeTrade and found that in less than a week I lost 18.8% with all my stocks.

 I went through different resourses to see how crisis could possibly hit technology companies.

 Business Week:

• Motorola CEO Greg Brown announced an 84% earnings drop for the December quarter.
• Apple, despite 58% earnings growth, fell 19%, to 129, after it issued a so-so second quarter forecast on Jan. 22.
• Yahoo! is mulling cuts of up to 700 people, or 5% of its stuff.
