Bill, I assumed the Rap that got cyberzapped did not meet the standards of the bull market forever censoring committee. <g> And we are supposed to believe servers just crash. I know better. Nothing made by Dell and Compaq crashes. <VBG>

I am curious Mr. Fleck- , are you still outright short on MU? And if you are short, how much fear do you have that MU is rising in an otherwise resting market. I must remind you that these are the best of times. I find your comments about the overall market to be something that does not reflect reality. It is speculative insight only. Did not your recent vacation give you a chance to reexamine your approach to the market? I have said before that the bull market isn't over until the banks stop lending. (IMHO, banks are loose cannons with fraudulent accounting.) Investors were speculating over a year ago about Chase's derivative exposure and the possiblity of a looming implosion from this. ...it never happened and there is no reason to believe the current market rumors about a failing hedge fund will affect the market averages more than a few days. There has to be more of a systemic breakdown across the board for the banks to stop lending. The only systemic breakdown that is plausible is Y2K concerns from overseas banks.
