If you want to sleep, sell a slug quickly and ratchet down your tech exposure to a comfortable level--30% or so. Too drastic? Consider dollar-cost-averaging out of tech. By selling a set amount each month for, say, 12 months, you'll still benefit from any short-term rallies. The downside: you'll remain vulnerable to a tech sell...

"Republicans in the House and Senate are now reaching out to McCain's playbook by toning down their tax bill. While last year they called for drastic tax cuts, now they're using McCain's approach to seeking 'targeted tax cuts'." Even if Bush wins on Saturday, it still looks as though he faces an uphill battle to reestablish what once was his greatest asset -- his November electability...
