Marty, I know they say it is a tight labor market, but here in NY it really isn't unless you have a specific skill. The internet companies are downright snobs and it is a very tough group to break into. (They want 3-5 years internet exp., but the company is only a few months old. Go figure!) I could care less since most of them will be out of business in a year's time. It's better to stick with solid companies like Bear Sterns, Oppenheimer, GS, ML, JPM.... MCDonald's can't fill position because all they are really offering is a prescription for bad skin. So to sum all this up, I know a lot of people who fall somewhere in the middle, overqualified for MCD and underqualified for everything else. As a result, they are out of a job.
Good advice on the stocks you've chosen. My only problem now is that May is a very bad month. It's void of news and earnings and stocks tend to drift. I'm waiting to sell all that I have into any early summer rally. I've got my fingers crossed.
