ljlb--I received a PM on that one today, and then, it just disappeared (the message that is)--strange.
So what was the deal with the market today-- I thought Greenspan was supposed to be talking things down, did all his rich buddies at the Economics club (?) help him out with his speech? Another 1/4 percent, so what? If he wants to shut down the stock market he should have the fed move rates up a full percent all at once.
Turned on the boob tube just in time to see Kernan talking about the "genomics stocks"--he said something about not wanting to leave anybody out. His list include HGSI, AFFX, and CRA, yup, that's the list all right, three of them. What a joke--I used to think he was a cut above the rest but to imply that the these three companies are the master list for biotech and the human genome, ha! And then he goes on to praise Michael Murphy for the great call (and mix him up with McCamant at the same time).
That's it, I'm selling my DirecTV dish, the PC, the car, my stereo, the furniture--dumping all the stocks at the open on Tuesday....cashing out the 401k and the IRA and heading to the country. I'll buy a Yurt and plop it on a lot up in Skagit county and sulk, why cant Joe mention my stocks!
