asia expected people question technology
People expected that Asia was pretty much over, and things would get better over the better part of the year. Now, that's called into question here, and technology is a pariah now. And I think there's probably some more downside, near-term, for technology.

data earnings economic economy expect falling fourth indicative optimism quarter recovery signs third

fun investors months trading visibility
I don't think we're in for Armageddon, but there's not going to be any visibility on earnings. So we've got months of trading fun and investors can go to the beach.

There are analysts out there talking up their favorite tech stocks. On the other hand, there are still concerns that large cap tech stocks may be doing some pre-announcements, so there are a lot of cross currents.

There is not enough earnings and/or revenue growth to justify valuations in a lot of the technology stocks and there is a great amount of fear that analysts will be slashing away at their earnings estimates for next year.
