LOL! Outstanding!...spuds...potatoes...eyes <ggg>

And here I thought Qualcomm was a wireless communications company. Little did I know that it was QUALity COMMercial Potato, Inc. Oh well, what the hel!; the stock's performed marvelously, none the less. A tribute:

Addicted To Spuds (lyrics)

by Al Yankovic

Potato skins, potato cakes
Hash browns, and instant flakes
Baked or boiled or french fried
There's no kind you haven't tried

You planned a trip to Idaho
Just to watch potatoes grow
I understand how you must feel
I can't deny they've got appeal

Whoah
You like them whether they are plain or they're stuffed, oh yeah
Better face the facts, it seems you can't get enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to spuds

Your greasy hands, your salty lips
Looks like you found the chips
Your belly aches, your teeth grind
Some tator tots would blow your mind

And you don't mind if they're not cooked
You need your fix, I guess you're hooked
And late at night you always dream
Of bacon bits and sour cream

Whoah, you like them even if they're lumpy or tough, oh yeah
Whee, It's pretty obvious to me you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to spuds

Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, you're addicted to spuds

Ooh yeah

I'm givin' up, it'sjust no use
Another case of spud abuse
What can I say, what can I do
Potato bug has got me too, Wahoo

I used to hate them, now they're all that I eat, oh yeah
Whee, I've often seen then whipped, but they just can't be beat
Now I'm gonna have to face it
I'm addicted to spuds

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds

Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to spuds

Anyone scared of a correction, don't be because:

1. Houses correct markets not individual investors - They always advertise it in Acompora like fashion. Remember how we are always told the big boys ran not the individual investor, well if they were getting ready to run in order to correct, they would be scaring you. The only people trying to scare you is CNBC and other Media and small time analyst who have missed the boat. They scream how high the markets are then tell you that two thirds of the stocks in the DOW are negative for the year, NOT GREAT FOR A CORRECTION, too much damage to inventories of the Houses.

2. No Catalyst - don't give me the interest rate song and dance, I have heard it before. Around Oct. 30th, we were at 6.45 on the long Bond yield, give me a break, if the Houses were going to correct, they would have done it then, and be damned if a tick or two in the yield is going to ruin their New Years party now.

3. If Houses wanted to fabricate a Catalyst, they could use Y2K, they are not, great insight as to how they are thinking.

4. Earnings will be fantastic for quarter as evidenced by Oracle.

5. Economy too strong even for a rise in interest rates to pull back.

6. Too much liquidity, matter of supply and demand. Buyers are simply taking money that would normally go into some of those two thirds down stocks in the Dow and playing the Casino, big deal, sorry toilet paper and bank stocks.

7. Big Stocks are either too strong and desirable to correct like GE and MSFT or have already corrected and their money is going elsewhere
and from stocks like DELL and CPQ. The only area we could see 20% down side are the asinine valuated stocks like RHAT, LNUX, JNPR, EBAY etc.

8. Last but not least, Market is looking forward to Jan. and 2000.

Remember, if the Houses are not talking, there will be no correction!
