OT OT - C Nelson Reilly Announces Occult Infiltration of FMOC Meeting Fellow Threadsters, I am about to embark on a dangerous and hopefully lucrative journey to the very soul of speculation; nay shall I be so bold as to say the beating heart of the immaculate interest rate enigma of American Fourth of July capitalism itself! I speak of my intentions to monitor from the astral plane (eavesdrop upon) the second day of the Secret Temple of the FMOC Meeting! I will mentally record my otherwordly impressions of the event, return to my "everyday senses" and report the results back to you BEFORE THE FMOC OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT AT 2:15 EST 6/30/99. This will allow the alert and slightly naive investor to enter or exit the market in a manner helpful to his or her own highly honed positions. I will be armed with my Ping Anser Putter (PAP), a pack of Kool Filter Kings, some nondescript country club matches, and a can of WD-40 (recommended by Peter Lynch and Don Rickles)...T MINUS 10 minutes and counting... The bond market has been "predicting the future" for several weeks now; I see no reason why I can't do the same thing IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION WITH THE PROPER PERSPECTIVE and post more accurate real world results. After all, I do live, trade and golf in the "real world" even though the bond market would prefer that I didn't. To aid in the actual "astral projection" part of this rite of P/E passage I have consumed an ancient sacrament known to savvy shamans since time began to speed up and space began to slow to a 46% year over year crawl. Suffice it to say it's spelled the same sideways (anybody besides me hear the word "Quaalude" on CNBC today?) WHOA (Nasdaq), the view from the top of the Dow is amazing! Look at those massive mudslides formed from the rotation into cyclicals - betcha' can't do nuthin' but graze cattle on that land for a heapin' plenty number of years! YEA Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of VENDIT, I Will Fear No Weasel For I'm LONG AOL! Large oval shiny wood reflecting the Pledge Polished Patina of Pricing Perfection in the Nobel Prize Winning Afterglow of the Legally Leveraged Merriwether Meltdown and MONSTER TRUCK RALLY! Many ethereal forms surround the Holy Table of Wealth Destruction; Good God, is that Humphrey and Hawkins over in the Grotto of Market Sadness and Eternal ROI Disappointment? So many obscure and outdated theories represented by crusty crackers Graham and otherwise. Why is the Aroma of Al Haig here trying to take over the Federal Reserve? Why in the Name of Common Sense Would DAN QUAYLE Run For President? Beats me like a red headed stock broker... Nothing to do but ride it out - so many fleeting financial images ingrained in my preconceived notions of logic and right and wrong and how markets ought to behave but sometimes they don't and now what are you gonna do? Eagerly awaiting EDMEESE.COM, C Nelson

Doug Sounds to me that reading between the lines of that statement>>"without regard for speed"<< could only mean exactly as you allude to.On a personal note we here in Oklahoma City have had outages for the past 4 days due to @Homes lousy equipment.I've had connectivity problems for the past 6 weeks.They changed my modem last week and are coming this afternoon to run a new cable.If that doesn't solve the problem I guess I'll have to trade speed for connection.
