ot ot ot USA should have plastic money, starting with a Five and no pennies, and use metric speed and distance signs. Weight and size would be easy. The hard conversion would be construction industry, everything is 4 by 8 sheets, and 2 by 4s are 1 1/2 by 3 1/2, it would blow all those guys away. Greg

OT For the life of me I have no idea why the USA will not convert. It will never happen now. USA failure to go metric is the like the French refusing to use some silly words for fear of losing their culture. I just don't get it. NFL does more to block metric in USA, than anything else, imho. An 80 metric TD does quiet sound as good as an 80 Yard TD :) sure is a nice Q Day

one advantage of having gallons over liters is that a penny increase per gallon is a penny increase per gallon. But a penny increase in liters is a 3.7854 cent increase in gallons as there are 3.7854 liters in a US gallon.

OT - Where next for the market? This is getting vewy intewesting. In June, the market headed down until the day of the Fed meeting/rate increase. Then, straight up until the middle of July earnings. Then, a selloff in the middle of earnings -- a pattern that has been repeating quarter after quarter. This time, the market bottomed on Aug 10th and has been heading up ever since (more or less). It seems this time, folks have been anticipating the post-Fed-rate-increase rally. I have no doubt there will be a September rally going into October earnings, but I find it hard to believe it started on August 10th. That rally would be too long IMHO. Heck, the DOW is at an all time high today. So now what? Seems to me we'll get a pullback between now and mid September. What will be the event that causes it; the Fed increase tomorrow? Puzzled I am.
