Hillary just took the stage, what a f*cking joke..... I was visiting one of my girlfriends in Minnehopelis before taking off for the Valley yesterday. It's not only the Silicon Valley and New York City where inflation is running crazy. You should see the Minnehopelis housing market. She bought her house a little over a year ago for $115K. The house next door is up for sale for $119K and is HALF the size. I know many other friends that are going through the same crap in MN. I could take a $25K gain on my house that I bought in November, less than 10 months ago. EVERYONE is getting up to their eyeballs in debt. When this thing goes and there's not any buyers for real estate, it's going to get REAL ugly. The rich will get richer and the middle class will get a wake up call and find out they are now poor. I pray for my parents and all of their friends who are now taking control of their retirement accounts and buying stuff like Cisco. I didn't even know what to tell my dad, it's hopeless. It's like everyone that's been through a bear market suppressed the experiance, but most of us are too young to remember. My gut tells me that my parents and most of their friends will end up blowing thier life savings in the market. At least I'll be one of the guys taking it from them. -ggg-

not necessarily, although i do expect October to live up to its reputation to some extent. i merely wanted to illustrate the mood of summer rallies past that ended in disaster to everybody's vast surprise. we're not quite there yet, mood-wise.

PD on its inclusion in the XAU: Thank you for your inquiry regarding the recent inclusion of Phelps Dodge in the Philadelphia Stock Exchange’s Gold and Silver Index ( XAU ) . First, it is important to note that this action was, and is, the sole decision of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange ( Exchange ) . Phelps Dodge was not consulted or advised in advance of its inclusion in the XAU. Based on our conversations with the Exchange, we understand that their decision was based on SEC requirements related to share price and capitalization levels of the shares that make up the index. Apparently, XAU needed to add another company to the index in order to meet the SEC’s listing requirements. Phelps Dodge was added because of its by-product gold and silver production, coupled with its size and share price. Finally, we have been informed that because of the questions raised by investors such as yourself, the Exchange plans to issue a news release to explain their decision. They are hoping to issue the release August 18. Sincerely, Rodney Prokop Director of Investor Relations Phelps Dodge Corporation they are "hoping to issue the release containing their explanation on August 18"???? what are they doing until then? twiddling thumbs?
