Trim Tabs on margin debt
--9:13 am - By Tomi Kilgore
Trim Tabs said margin debt was down 6.6 percent in November vs. a 10 percent tumble in market cap. The fund flow tracker said this may indicate that downtrodden tech stocks could stay weak for a while longer - possibly until margin debt gets back to the $180 billion level. Finally, margin debt is up 20.2 percent from the end of October 1999 - a period when margin debt began to climb. Since the Oct. 31 close, the Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ: news, msgs) has fallen 22 percent.

Richard, the South will not have such a problem. I suspect they will have another type of problem, oversupply and merchant plants not making much money.

Where do you think dozens of CC plants are being built as we speak. Texas, Oklohoma, Alabama, Georgia, etc.

Relatively easy site permitting and friendly communities make a big difference.

The only exception maybe Florida, they have dominating utilities and regulators that limit development.
