finance.yahoo.com maybe ebay can buy one of our canuck banks, ho ho... i checked bmo's all time high, its 80 canadian, and it closed yesterday at 46 guess you can't day trade that sort of thing <g> a couple years ago up here every j6p in a toque was talking about bank stocks, as they'd gone up 50 % a year for two years in a row...now they talk nortel, bce, jdsu, rim, ballard, microforum, etc. even td which owns most of waterhouse doesn't get the buzz any more...

Mike, >>She (Abby Cohen) dismissed criticism of the U.S. trade and current account deficits, which she said were symptoms of problems elsewhere. ``I would hate to see what the world would have looked like had the U.S. not allowed its trade deficit to be so high,' she said during a panel discussion. << I thought that was actually a big part of the bearish case. Without the US trade deficit lots of other places would sink into the abyss and we can't sustain it forever. As usual I must be missing something. Probably some "new era" drug. (g) Wayne

Mike, I sold my HWP puts yesterday. I didn't get top dollar, and took only a modest profit (less than a double), but I didn't like the price action. I'll wait a bit before I decide whether to reload. Of course, it could break down any time now. But something else will come along.

Just re-bought 1/2 position in djia puts. I'm looking for a ride back down to 10,900, at least.
