OT - Scumbria - RE: "Paul has pushed us up to #3 in the Hot Subject list. I did everything I could today to help out the Rambus thread, but I was no match for Paul as Rambus is only ranked #12." I'm actually disappointed with third. But 1 and 2 are only there becuase those threads are new, so in a way we are really first, if you count the threads that have been around for some time. The Intel thread is something like sixth, but that is only because 40 posts a day is a LOT there! 40 posts is about half an hour on a processor release day here. ;) And earnings release day is another story!

OT Scumbria, I have to admit, for the next month I'm with you about AG and the fed. For very selfish reasons (a boatload of July calls), I need all the help I can get. I really don't care what is done or said on the June 26th meeting, but I just hope it is taken well by the market. On another note, have you seen the new 401K style retirement plan that your democratic henchmen led by Al Bore are releasing tomorrow? I find this just an amazing idea. What do you think is more facinating about this plan? 1. American people buy into believing that if the government matches them by 3 times in contributions, they are getting a good deal (ie, dems think people are dumb enough to not realize that their own tax money is recycled into retirement money, uh, where does that gov contribution come from?) 2. Dems think so little of the American people, that only the government is capable of taking care of retirement. It would just be too much to ask for people to do this themselves. It's a toss up for me. The Dems are reckless with money. As each day goes by, more programs are announced, this needs to stop. BTW- I do agree with you about the environmental issues, but don't believe it should have to come with the expense of reckless financial spending. There has to be a middle ground somewhere. chic
