Hi Royco, about Intel when it was at $52, our fearless leader over on the Intel thread, Paul Engel, did pick up more at that price. Elmer did also. Like adding a few hundred feet of elevation to Mt. Everest or something, but more power to them. The semiconductor segment continues to rock and roll. The CEOs of companies for all three stockholder' meetings I attended this year, Intel, LSI and AMAT, all showed essentially the same slide on fast semiconductor growth into year 2002. If that plays out, we're just getting started. Those three are holds for me, along with Cisco, EMC and Microsoft. Actually looking for another one or two to buy. I'm watching a new IPO from last week, Netro, NTRO, know somebody there. Anyone know anything about them? Sonki? Tony

Hello Royco. I go along with everything you said in your post. As far as Kosovo is concerned. Well we hear all this stuff is happening to SERBS now in Kosovo. It was said before that the KLA was responsible for a lot of this unrest before all those tragedies started. I have no AX to grind on either side. But I still believe we should have stayed out of it. Had this happened 2 years earlier, I don't think we would have been there. Now the Nato troops are getting attacked for trying to keep peace. Now on this rate hike. I have mostly been on A.G.'s side. But who knows how all this came about. I am not sure if he could have been out voted. I don't think so but that's the reason I would like to have an OPEN FED. I think there is too much chronism going on. Yes, I heard some of those former FEDS speak this morning. Mr. Angel at Bear Stearns did not see a need either. And some of the smarter Economists, IMO, didn't see a need. But we always have those fear mongers, if it is inflation, economy, dollar or Y2K. The only thing those guys are united in, is to give all our trade away. Fast track and the like even to countries that do not deserve it with the policies they have. Let's hope the market overcomes this later today. I guess if things get tough they can lower the rates again. And to think that the long bond was talked about being at 5 1/2 by the end of this year. I guess the dollar should go higher. But things do move in mysterious ways at times. So who knows exactly what will come out of all this. Good for you not having sold a single share in Intel since 96. With sev. margin calls a while back I can't say the same for me. I HAD to liquidate some at times to pay the pauper. I generally sell things I have gains in instead of losses if the cos. look like they may come back. Unfortunately I don't always stick to this method. Even I get talked out of things at times. gg. I did buy more Intel earlier this year in the low 130's before the split and WAS down. But like I said: I don't sell stocks I am down in unless I have no faith in them anymore. Intel looked a lot stronger before this rate hike. I hope it does not put a damper on the techs for a while. Don't catch something when you go to Istanbul. Most helpers are leaving now and things do not look great there. So much talk about possible diseases like Cholera etc. Awful. Sonny
