Oh chucks!!! Here we go: The Dow is higher as the financial sector is strong, providing key support amid news of consolidation. Yesterday, Yahoo! (YHOO +16 7/16) reported better than expected earnings, topping estimates by 2 cents, and this helped to restore investor confidence in tech. Other strong sectors are the chip/chip equipment, networking, and computer hardware while biotechs have struggled despite Biogen's (BGEN -1 3/8) positive earnings release. The big news in the financial sector was that PaineWebber Group (PWJ +15 15/16) is being acquired by Swiss financial group UBS AG (UBS -15 11/16) in a cash and stock deal valuing the U.S. broker at $10.8 bln or $73.50 per share, a 47% premium on yesterday's closing price. Other Dow winners have been American Express (AXP +15/16), International Paper (IP +1 3/8), and IBM (+2) while the retail, drug, oil, food/beverage, and tobacco components have lagged in today's action.

Re: subsequent posts/posters Noah, you do the third revised thread description a grave injustice with your selective reference to 'clueless.' To be perfectly objective, you must include those of us who are deemed to be not only clueless, but also: axe-grinders and bashers; self-promoters; and of course, the Really Brain Dead; Name calling and sardonic wit, gee, where have we heard that before?

Thanks Noah Funny, I would have never noticed as I turned off displaying the header (Hide original post ) so I could see more posts. I have this thread bookmarked and respond to interesting posts as I always have. I really see no reason to post here any original content anyway as I prefer to honor the true independent thinker named Truman and post the good stuff in his thread: Subject 10880 Kirk out PS Has one of the originators lost it or what? I guess having a difference of opinion or a business of your own is reason for some to call us clueless. Do you know where can I buy a clue? Maybe David Corn will offer a special deal on clues with a subscription to his interpretations?
