The Feds are draining reserve from the market three days in a row. Must hit a wrong button.

BTW, what's going on with flea-bay. It's strong today. Speculators are betting good earnings.

Can't be true, the government says that we don't have any wage inflation. <g>

My guess is that the employees demanded real money instead of funny-money options in light of how poorly the company's stock has performed. Which raises an interesting point - how likely is it that these bright young 25 year olds will work 18+ hour days for meager cash earnings if the internet IPO bubble ever stops? And, won't they demand MORE of those cash earnings (like this company perhaps is experiencing) if their monopoly money options are not there to back up their meager cash earnings?
