Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind

The market keeps on truckin' downward. The Dow broke the key 10250 level today intraday, which means we are in a serious wave 3 down for the next few weeks and maybe months. As always, it will bounce back on the way down, and a little bounce is due tomorrow. But down we go into the summer.

Prechter sent out yet another interim bulletin with his mea culpas for his prior impulsive bulletin. His point is that the minor wave 2 we were in broke the 78% retracement level, which almost always means it will keep retracing farther, but it stalled twice at a 90% retrace and then turned down. Technically a wave 2 can retrace 99%, it just is rare to go beyond 78%. This market has seen multiple wave 2's go back 78%, as the mania is dying hard; so a rare 90% retrace is now par for this course.

Patent Power

Judge bans RIM from selling BlackBerry in the U.S.

Research in Motion (RIM) late yesterday was barred by a U.S. judge from selling its BlackBerry handheld or any accompanying services in the U.S. as a part of the company's ongoing legal battle with NTP. The injunction will remain in effect until all of NTP's related patents expire on May 12, 2012. The judge then stayed the injunction, pending an appeal by RIM. The court also ruled that RIM must pay NTP $53.7 million in damages. If RIM fails to win its appeal this decision could effectively end the company's ability to do business in the U.S. market. The decision has also quieted rumors that an IT integrator like Hewlett-Packard might acquire RIM. RIM and NTP have been engaged in a legal fight since late 2001, when NTP claimed that RIM infringed on its patents covering the use of wireless communications with email systems.

SIP = MP3

Web 2.0 is emerging as quite an interesting collection of technologies: WiFi, IM, blog, RSS, social networks .. and now SIP:

An Internet pioneer has started a Web phone company. Michael Robertson is marketing a device he says connects to broadband connections and lets users send and receive calls to other such phones around the world at no charge. "Today few people know about this," he said. "But it will fundamentally change the telephone business, just as MP3 has done with the music industry." Robertson founded MP3.com, one of the Web's first file-sharing sites. His new company, SIPphone Inc., is taking orders via its Web site for the devices, priced at $129.95 for a pair, but it shows no pictures of them.
