re the 'commercials' - I can not add much more about the commercials (others have added quite a bit here). I can tell you one important thing. As some of you know, I am studying futures; the teacher is a famous and immensely successful trader, author and teacher named Larry Williams. His company is British American (britishamerican.com) in San Diego. I think very highly of Larry (as opposed to Abby Joseph Cohen, Larry Kudlow and Joe Battapaglia, who could not tell you their true beliefs and thoughts if they wanted to) The first and most important principal taught by Williams is, "Pay close attention to the commercials, they are rarely wrong." I, for one, pay very close attention. Disclaimer: The above is my personal opinion. I recommend that you do not base your investment decisions solely on any one person's views or analysis (including mine). Do your own research and take personal responsibility for your investment decisions. Ken Wilson

Ken, One thing I'm interested in knowing is the potential buyers strike at the end of the year I've heard others speculate about. Long term capital gains are changing to 18% if your purchase is after Jan 1, 2001. So if you are a long term buy and holder, why not wait a month to take advantage of the lower tax rate? Combine this with tax loss selling and it could be a deadly situation at the end of December. chic
