NADER'S MOM APOLOGIZES TO NATION In a stunning press conference held on her front porch this morning, Ralph Nader's mother, Harriet, apologized for her son's candidacy. "My son has always been a bit of a joker," she said to press. "He thought it would really be funny to force the country to get into a close election, but it wasn't, now was it Ralphie?" Nader, dressed in short pants, and held firmly by the ear, mumbled, "No mother, I guess it wasn't." "And," added Mrs. Nader, "You're going to march right down to that nice Mr. Gore's house tomorrow and say what?" Nader mumbled unintelligibly, and on his mother's prompting, spoke up in more forceful tones: "Sorry for stealing your votes, Mr. Gore." Nader's actions have made his family the shame of this small community, starting early in the campaign cycle when his gang, The Greens, went on a rampage - denouncing Gore for being controlled by corporate interests and stealing apple pies left on windowsills for cooling. Although Nader's campaign was judged by many to be irresponsible and reckless, his mother would often throw up her hands and declare him to be "full of beans," as young boys are wont to be, "and completely out of control." Not any more, she vows. "From now on, Ralph's going to be a perfect gentleman, aren't you Ralph?" After Nader's mumbled assent, Mrs. Nader then led him back into the house to wash his hands of politics in preparation for a healthy supper.

I don't own JNIC, but I have been following because it has been acting so strong, the selling in it bothers me, smacks of pure panic. Why does this worry me? It doesn't take much to see investors panic selling, and the market getting away from the powers to be. I do not think it is wise to be foolhardy here. The market has been sold down so far, for so many days and the negative tone so wide disseminated now that when the selling is over with we will not get a rush to go higher. So, we will have time to enter into the market. So if must go in, do it in small trades only and be ready to take a lost. Remember, we really haven't seen any real panic yet, I mean real panic like a 400 on the naz drop, So far it's been somewhat of an orderly drop with a good reason behind it, slowing earnings, now if the election problem drags on, people will begin to get worried overseas, and it will feed on itself.
