In the 30 years I've worked in the securities industry, I have never seen a more confusing, capricious and frustrating market. Volatility in individual names is unprecedented, and almost any bit of news creates dramatic moves. Today there's a domino effect that can topple not only your particular stocks but also those of competing companies, suppliers and customers. On Dec. 6,2000, for example, bad news about Apple Computer drove the stock 16% lower and sent rival Compaq down even more.
