Sonny ---Good afternoon ---Have turn off CNBC for the afternoon ---Am tired of the lack of logic in the market ---am waiting for October . Have not bought any WCOM ---it looks like a good buy but am too much under water with the rest of the stocks I owned . The logic with WCOM being down escapes me ---If WCOM does not spend money on capital improvement for the internet and wireless side of its business it will die with it fixed line business . Plus if does spend on capital improvement how will it grow ? Is the glass half empty or half full . Firestone is the real issue on the tires separating : 1)Quality control ---they bar code every tire ---so they know when they failing and what plant ,shift etc they were made on 2)The government oversight was notified in 1998 and 1999 about this issue and did nothing until the lawsuits were brought in to play ---what a bunch of bureaucrats ---said the engineering review to determine what happen would take sixthteen months 3) The union is as much as fault as the company in making this inferior product . The last three companies I work for the union had the right to shut down production line if quality or safety was an issue . Then on top that they are going to go on strike when the company needs them the most . 4) Tire Kingdom which is a large distributor in Florida and North Carolina has replaced 25,000 tires that were on the recall and some that customers wanted replace to get the Firestone tires off their car even though their was not a problem . All twenty five thousand went to other brands . Bridgestone/Firestone has a real identity problem and their will be a bunch of layoffs because no will buy the tires now . Hope you have a great weekend BEST WISHES BILL
