Oil services mentioned on CNBC. Sorry didn't catch who, but someone upgraded the sector (HAL and GLM mentioned). Naz futures also up nicely. We should bounce today and tomorrow in the broad market since the Naz held it's bottom, but I'll probably take some profits ahead of the employment costs reports due later this week.

Tomas: Mayberry's site is to "hawk" his newsletter & make money. Just another "GURU" is my take. I compare it to the "Sky is Falling" Guru's of Y2K fame. If you say the same thing over & over; maybe it will happen; Like the weatherman. Remember that from the "Oil Embargo" and nationalization of the SA oil fields in 1973; there were no US troops protecting the SA until 1991 & Saddam. Today there are 40K US troops in the kingdom protecting the "US Strategic Oil Reserves". I believe it was "US Foreign Policy" that left Saddam in power. This allows the US Military presence in SA to be palatable or explainable to the Islamic Fundies & keep the "Reserves under Guard". Also the current talks with the US major oils is another piece of the puzzle. Oil has become and is a "Political Commod ". As far as the other; it appears to be a "Bash the Royals" site. It probably has some "Truths" as SA has a rather repressive government. JMO FWIW jo
