Tom; Maybe most see the Goldman Sachs cancellation, as a sort of bottoming sign. After all there were questions about them going public and getting out before a sell off. To me them changing their mind is a slight positive, in this sea of negative news. I spent all after noon and late yesterday hunting up and reading alternative news sources, we are inundated with such as CNBC PA, Reuters , News wire, and I'm not sure that most of them are not in the same type hands. I sure found a lot of stuff we don't normally see. The Japanese Times took up most of my time, not only do they see things a lot different than we do their press looks more comprehensive and honest. ----------------- Now with oil prices going up I will be very skeptical about, any run up in stock prices it don't make sense. Oil is priced into every thing, and the recent rise in it along with the dollar falling spells hard times ahead. I don't buy into the story that a falling dollar will help our exports, thus save us, the Japanese bought that story, and tried to export themselves out of the hole, with exports at record levels all they did was drive themselves into the ground. ----------------- Jim |
