This article recommends Duke Power, but I like this quote on NG. >> This is critical: For the first time in 15 years, power plants are being built again, and most of them will run on gas. << pathfinder.com

Friede Goldman Halter, Inc. MUCH More than just an Oil Service Company hdr, Speaking of Trent Lott, seems like he is a busy man. This is a good article concerning one of Halter's ship builds. al.com O/T hdr: Sorry, you had to take the tax loss. I don't suppose I need to remind you that taking the tax loss is NOT ALWAYS the best course of action. Any pending good news could spark a rally that could make the tax deduction look puny compared to the possible gains. But, of course another dip may await. If the latter event should occur, you may opt to reenter before the Wash Sales expiration if you feel the bargain price outweighs the tax benefit. There is no prohibition to doing this, - just don't claim the deduction if done within the 31 days. Good luck, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! SargeK
