Our European business is strong,'' Fiorina continued. ``Our ink-jet supplies business is strong. Our PC business is strong. Yes, we really mean it. Yes, we'll deliver it.''

"October will make September look like a bull market." 1. "Not necessarily" - Lets do the numbers for just 5 yrs 1999 Sept Close = 2746.16 Oct 18 Low 2632.01 1998 Sept Close = 1693.84 Oct 8 Low 1343.87 1997 Sept Close = 1685.69 Oct 28 Low 1465.84 1996 Sept Close = 1226.92 Oct 29 Low 1202.36 1995 Sept Close = 1043.54 Oct 10 Low 959.36 That comes to 792.71 down points last 5 yrs. 2. Crashes in Oct - Yes I've been in many, 1987 was particularly nasty. Over time I have learned to respect the September & October time frame as being a danger to my bankroll and since I play the market with real money I sell any Position Trades I have at the end of August & buy back in during the October Low of Month.
