OT: just heard on the radio that some HWP employee fell or jumped out of a plane. They presume she's dead. Ya think? Not sure if it's suicide or an accident.... Geez

Worst part is, Joe, that for about an hour and half today she was "missing" according to CNN. She got on the plane along with 4 other HP employees (charter) and when they landed there was one less person on board. Supposedly, no one knew what happened to her and whether she had actually gotten on the plane or not.

Then, later they said the door blew open in flight and one of the other passengers tried to hang on to her but couldn't. The whole thing sounds extremely strange and odd. They said when the copilot came back to check on the door warning the noise was so loud that he couldn't hear the other passenger when he told him someone was sucked out of the plane.

Sad, indeed.

I think the CSCO news reaction at 3:30 was BS. 275 million to them is practically nothing. IMO, it created another buying opportunity.
Nasdaq volume today was 2.6 billion, CSCO volume over 100 million, it all signals short term bottom to me.
But, who knows, we could go lower on Monday, no guarantees with this market.

Joe, you don't really suggest a resumption of the bull. Gosh forbid;-)

As for stocks selling off after inclusion into SP 500 and the like...yupper. The forced buying gives it a spike and along with that, traders buy for the ride up in anticipation. So there are only sellers left after that. Make sense ? That's why I shorted PALM that nite, right into the close. Thanks for reminding me, I have to do more of those! (of course, like anything else, there are no guarantees it works everytime)
