I just read your market rap. Wow, thank goodness you are coming around to my way of thinking:

"When stocks rally it will grow above pace again. Everything's fine. America's great. Al is "our boy." Buy stocks. Simple as that..."

Mr. Bill, I am not quoting you out of context as I believe it is your true self that is subconsciously trying to deliver a message to all of us. <g>

I am curious Mr. Bill, do you wake up immediately after having a dream? Clinically, a sudden wake-up from a dream is an ego (conscious) defense mechanism. When the subconscious is about to reveal something much too painful for the ego to cope with in a dream state, the ego forces the body abruptly out of REM.

At times the subconscious punches thru in the formation of words much like what you wrote above. I am worried about your sanity Mr. Bill as this is a very trying time to be a bear.

You may need to contact you spirit guide for divine guidance and this will be Part III of my therapy session for da bears. Part II of the therapy session will come next week after Easy Al shocks the world and does absolutely nothing.

Re: IBM gutting pensions in your rap -- it is true. Talked to my brother-in-law who works for them. They have really screwed over their long-term employees, converting a calculated present value of payments into a lump sum. He ain't happy ...

Look for a lot of other companies to follow suit ...
