Wow. What a clientele you have here. I seem to have a case of Dellitus( too much dell) An imbalance of Ying and Yang. (cough). Might need counseling, sympathy. Its just sad whut the analysts do to us over there. No peace- no peace at all. Now I see Greg pushing Vox, up a mere 61% lately. And I met Brenda in Austin once. Might get some fresh air, a better overall view from up in a treehouse.(G) Do you have any opinions on Plcm? Donnie started trading that one back when it was about $11 so I stuck with it off and on. Kind of a Duracell type, just keeps going. Hi Uncle Regards Sig

Voltaire, (great name, to be the philosopher for the 21st Century, similar to Bill Gates over the last two decades) since you have quoted a lot of forward thinking about the market; I have some points of discussion and questions on the upcoming transition week; 1) Market peaked this year on approx. 8/25, the same date as the peak in 87 and then it crashed in 10/19/87; any relevance or just a coincidence? 2) Everyone knows about the Fed meeting on Tuesday re: potential rate hikes and other policy tightening measures; however also next week are a) European Central Bank, b) UK Central Bank and c) Sweden Central Banks meetings to consider rate hikes; ( Also Canada on Wednesday, however we seem to follow the US policy ) What impact will these Bank meetings have on the US Fed policy and possible rate hike? 3) Payroll numbers come out on Friday; a number was quoted stating that if there are more than 300,000 , then the market will be bearish. Your comments? Cheers, David PS I am long in QCOM and other high tech companies, however I am always interested in hearing /reading opinions such as yours to understand the market dynamics. I believe that Banks and High Tech stocks would be corrected more, if the above statements happen: e.g. Fed policy to tightening or interest rate hikes
