Kis, did you see what Ask Jeeves (askj) did yesterday?? Wow!! I spent all day Wed trying to get their stock. I ended up with only 200 shares.:-(( It had all the right ingredients, including Morgan Stanley who had priced it @14. I really like this search engine, please try it. Their web site is ask.com. Ps Michelle should like this stock because its based in Berkeley, not Palo Alto;-) Ps Where's William, I wonder if he got more as he's a MS preferred?

Nobel prize winning economist he isnt.. Nobel prize = Ivory Tower in my mind. Not someone you would trust with your portfolio.

I'm no economist, but i have friends who are and they are quick to point out that Alan Greenspan in his previous life was just a manager of a mediocre savings and loan bank. When he was appointed to his position, there really wasnt a huge importance placed upon it. Only with a mania-level stock market is this guy a celebrity.. Nobel prize winning economist he isnt.. <sigh>.... Keep at it Inspector Gadget, your list of er... well, Simple[ton] posts keeps growing... ____________ FYI.... "The world of antitrust is reminiscent of Alice's Wonderland: everything seemingly is, yet apparently isn't, simultaneously. It is a world in which competition is lauded as the basic axiom and guiding principle, yet "too much" competition is condemned as "cutthroat." It is a world in which actions designed to limit competition are branded as criminal when taken by businessmen, yet praised as "enlightened" when initiated by the government. It is a world in which the law is so vague that businessmen have no way of knowing whether specific actions will be declared illegal until they hear the judge's verdict -- after the fact. In view of the confusion, contradictions, and legalistic hairsplitting which characterize the realm of antitrust, I submit that the entire antitrust system must be opened for review." ....... "The entire structure of antitrust statutes in this country is a jumble of economic irrationality and ignorance" ~ Alan Greenspan. <in Chapter 4 of: "Capitalism, The Unknown Ideal" --Ayn Rand>
