Unless Gore is elected or whenever Christopher and Daley make their threats. Gore's unconscionable acts to steal the election has cost every stockholder very substantial amounts of money. Twice the market has collapsed while Christopher and Daley were making their threats. Stockholders lose with Gore.

Depends on if this election mess gets settled......But no I don't think so.... Wait until you see the price of heating oil and natural gas this winter... And I don't believe I ever said below 2,000, but merely at the 2,000 level which is the lower arm of the bollinger band on the monthly chart. But it is more likely that we'll see 2400 and bounce off from there... But forget about hew highs next year... And after today's failed rally, we might have to forget about a year-end rally. This election problem isn't going away anytime soon unless someone knocks both side's heads together and makes them stop trying to litigate their way into the white house. Democrats have filed some 12 different lawsuits over this election from reports I heard. Btw, the word I heard today was that some Republican congressmen would rather Bush give in and let Gore be president. The Washington Post is reporting that the side that wins the presidential race will likely lose congressional seats in the next election. And my source (which was pretty impeccable since he is a congressman) told me that "rumours" flying around suggest the losses could be heavy for the Republicans. They might be right.

California Warned of High Gas Bills By COLLEEN VALLES, Associated Press Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Californians are getting a two-fold warning at the first sign of cold weather: The state says there may be blackouts and a major utility is warning of sharply higher bills. As Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said natural gas prices could rise by as much as 50 percent next month, the state's power grid manager declared stage two emergencies Monday and Tuesday as energy reserves dropped below 5 percent. The state was short almost 12,000 megawatts, or enough power for about 12 million homes. A stage three emergency usually results in rotating blackouts across the state, said Stephanie McCorkle, a spokeswoman for the Independent System Operator. The recent cold has boosted demand and energy officials are also blaming a low natural gas supply and power plant maintenance for the problems. California power plants often shut down for maintenance in November, typically a time between hot and cold months, McCorkle said. But this year, two nuclear plants - Diablo Canyon and San Onofre - are also closed for refueling. Both are scheduled to resume operation by Thursday, but they take about three days to get up to full capacity, McCorkle said. Customers will pay for the heat because there is a static supply of natural gas, said Ron Low, a spokesman for PG&E. While customers can expect bills to rise next month, they should not be as high next year, Low said. ``The higher prices will encourage producers to produce more and prices should level out in the next year,'' he said. The weather was expected to warm up the rest of the week, with highs in the 60s in most parts of northern California. dailynews.yahoo.com
