Fun; I don't focus that much on the DJI or DJX as it's not weighted the same as most of the other indexes , but I do look at it, it may not go down 20% from it's high this year, tahts a tough one as there will be changes in it and the recent buy out of UK will do a lot to mitigate its relative low. ----------------- I just started doing the Banking Sector with my Dollar volume weighted index, and it's cause for concern. Down already 15% via local dollar and almost 20% via adjusted dollar I want to see it bounce. -------------- I'm afraid most people don't realize that while the Finance sector often sells at a discount to the rest of the market it also acts like a broader and longer term barometer. It has a relative low PE to the rest of the market and most of what I have in my index also pay a dividend. The biggest fall in our history came thanks to this sector it's also what took Japan into a bear market. Tulip stocks may show the short term sentiment but the way the system is set up if the banks go eventually every thing goes. ---------------- Other than the above biz.yahoo.com has me fuming, now we find out a little about the truth in the Republican Tax cut and the hidden ugle they folded into it. ------------ The History channel is going to do a special on the the elite of the Wall Street gang and their failed attempt to install a overt fascist type Government back in the 30s, ( with I might add the help of the Republicans ) I'l also add it didn't fail all together as they have succeeded it doing it covertly. ------------ Jim
