fooledalot, I'm still using the old site. No big problems with it. At this point, the market has to be looking for a reason to rally. However, watch out for option expiry coming up Friday. Appears I should have dumped AMZN before playing golf. I'm debating buying some more DHF tomorrow. A yield of 13.9% at current price is looking good to me. ELBO is starting to look attractive also. NW U.S. TRADING SUMMARY: U.S. stocks added to their losses at midday Wednesday as the market focused on negative earnings reports, including from semiconductor leader INTEL CORP (INTC: 72-1/4, - 4-7/16)., and worried about interest rates. The results surprised many Wall Street investors who have come to expect Intel to meet or beat analyst forecasts. The companies that comprise the S&P 500 are expected to post average profit growth of more than 19 percent in the third quarter, according to First Call/Thomson Financial. But with expectations soaring, analysts say the companies that miss Wall Street's forecasts are in line for harsh punishment from investors. U.S. TREASURIES: The U.S. Treasury bond prices were lower Wednesday as interest-rate fears continued to weigh on the market. There was negative reaction in the Treasurys market to the Bank of Japan's announcement that it would expand its money-market operations to include outright purchases of short-term government securities, though the move boosted the dollar against the yen. The move is viewed as a safe way for the newly independent Bank of Japan to react to growing pressure from the Ministry of Finance and Japan's partners in the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations. CURRENCIES: The dollar rallied against the yen Wednesday following the Bank of Japan's decision to expand its money market operations in a move to help restrain the Japanese currency's rise. The dollar also made slight gains against the euro after losing ground in earlier trading. The dollar shot up more than one-and-a-half yen soon after the Bank of Japan said it would begin outright purchases of short-term government securities and announced other minor measures aimed at increasing its money market operations.

f: You know it! Still holding AMZN. <<sigh>> Yes, I'm using the old SI with zero problems. I do go to the new site occasionally for research (they don't update the old site) or to save a PM, but that's it. I have noticed that certain characters I've typed using the old site don't come out the same on the new site i.e. I typed 4 periods in a row on the old site and it came out as 1 period and the letter "a" with an accent grave over it on the new site. I don't think the two sites interact very well. K
