Hi Rob, Tom, jambo, Bonnie, and others. SOROS just posted something very important over on the Mod Porch and I thought it deserves a place here as well. The true test will be to see how Voltaire responds to this honest entreaty.

I know I'm going to get blasted for this, but I feel like you should realize that because you have a forum on SI, your
words DO influence many people whether you like it or not and whether they should or not. You know the sports
"heros" who say they don't want to be role models? Tough! If they accept the applause and place in society, they
must also accept the responsibilities. I'm not just picking on you. You have always been a gentleman in your replies
both public and private. I just wish the analysts for the Houses would admit they are manipulators, and all message
board "gurus" would admit they "guess", but don't really "know" anything -- the clown killers have probably lost
more people money in the past 3 years than they have ever "saved" in the past few months. I realize everyone must
have enough brains to do their own investing without letting other's "words" influence them, but I think you would
be amazed at how your words do influence many, if only subconsciously. Many bought EXTR, RMBS, JDSU,
INTC, etc. at much higher levels due, in part, to the influence of some "leaders" on these boards and the forums
they have accepted and continue to run. Maybe they will be okay in the long haul, maybe not. But if everyone
would admit they are simply human and don't have an inside track to "special" information (this is done subtly ALL
the time by many SI "leaders"), perhaps those with less experience would hesitate just enough to avoid making
decisions based on another's recommendations. So, go ahead and blast me, but I know I am not wrong in this
perceived influence.

Market summary;
I feel it is imperative that everyone understand what the Houses are up to.
Remember the other day when we were down about 575 points on the Naz? Well the Houses did what I thought
they would do and brought it back but they left out something, after reviewing their actions, they realized they had
not accomplished their goal and that was to knock out the last of the severely margined players. A drop of 575
was nice for the Houses but did nothing to finish off this last variable standing as an obstacle to the advancement
and solidification of their inventory. So what, you ask? Well you got their answer today and you will get the rest
before Wed. afternoon. One must remember that all Houses know exactly the extent of their exposure to margin
and this is their guide to the extent of this decline you are seeing and will continue to see for the next day or two. A
575 point drop and then finishing 46 down will not bring on many margin calls. They need TIME and decline to do
it and that is what you are getting.
If you noticed, several Houses came out today and suggested what? That the average investor lighten up on
technology stocks. Notice how they did it in CONCERT. NOW, what is the one thing we have learned from these
bastards? IF THEY WERE TRULY GOING TO SELL AND LIGHTEN UP ON TECHNOLOGY, WHO
WOULD BE THE LAST TO KNOW? WE THE RETAIL INVESTOR. Do you believe the houses are actually
altruistic enough to tell you to sell if they were going to sell, come on, please!
Summation:
We will get the earnings run as soon as these heavily margined players are exterminated by the Houses so cheer up
and watch. Should see signs about Wed. afternoon with build up through Friday.
Selah,
Voltaire

Hi SOROS,
that post is not for the young but the ignorant. Of all the things I read about the markets today, this is by far the
most laughable. Yep, Houses are going to just let their inventories just go to hell.
Now, if there is anyone out there that feels the market is about to crash, I tell you what I will do, I will give you 45
days one way or the other to hit your target and bet you $20,000 and Uncle Frank can hold the money. That gives
the cynical and very misinformed on this or other threads 90 days to call a crash and pick up $20,000. IT AIN'T
GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THE HOUSES CONTROL THE MARKETS and one day the Fleckenstupid
influenced idiots are going to wake up.
ANY TAKERS?

Warning or setup? I used to think of everything in terms of odds, and with the Nasdaq at 2900 going into
November, 1999, this run since then is WAY too suspicious for even the past 3 years historical gains. I keep
thinking Clinton/Gore won't let the market crash during an election year (the economy is ALL they have ever had
going for them), but I admit ignorance as to the forces that really control what's happening. Perhaps they don't let
the WHOLE market crash, but maybe they will let the Nasdaq brutalize everyone who was late to the party by
sliding it back to that 2900. This would certainly set up a profitable run for the Houses again, wouldn't it?

Hi Scott,
always good to hear from you, your post are always informative.
Let me tell ya, there is one thing these bastards are always thinking about, how to make more money. Pushing the
Naz over the brink will not do it. I love the way they bluff and I want to just laugh in their face. You saw how they
brought the Naz back on Tuesday of last week just scared as hell they had over done it, hell, they almost stumbled
over themselves, this is why I do not feel we will get over 500 down from the 575. I am amazed how many people
are living in fear of some kind of debacle when all they have to do is see who owns the most tradable stock. The
Naz is going no where but up on an ascending scale.
Tomorrow afternoon should be interesting.

Hi gang,
please don't tell me you are falling for this crap. Like I said, the DOW is going to die and we will continue to see
the NAZ gradually rise up until about the middle of June beginning tomorrow and Friday. Trust me, the Houses will
begin by accentuating the positive on almost all numbers, even 50% increase in rates. Give me a break! You should
all be buying your favorite stocks and options in here. What a joke.

Morning garnett50,
LOL- must admit I get a headache but can deduce Intel and RMBS about to whip butt.
As we move toward October markets move up. Again I say for God's sake don't believe all the FUD. Houses
always improve the value of their inventory and there is absolutely no catalyst around to counter this move.
My favorites in rank - 1. RMBS 2. QCOM 3. EXTR 4. NTAP 5. ELON 6. SNDK 7. ORCL
SPECIAL OF THE DAY - INTC
HOUSES GOT WHAT THEY WANTED AGAIN - RETAIL INVESTOR AND LOWER TIER HOUSES
RAN LIKE HELL - seems they never learn.
Expect some more selling into the rallies but we still advance two steps forward and one step back. TIME
CAPSULE is the main thing to watch. OCT to end of DEC. Don't be fooled by OIL FEARS, EURO, or
EARNINGS WARNINGS. All are exacerbated by the Houses. Fed will begin to show support for current
administration and Gore. MAJOR Houses will turn positive and why shouldn't they. INTC at 57 on no bad news,
WHAT A JOKE.
now, let's all say in unison- HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN THIS?

freeus,
Have faith in the following.
1. everything being equal - Houses control the markets. NOT IN A SINISTER SENSE but simply their MO.
2. If there is no real NEGATIVE CATALYST, market is going up.
3. Learn to listen to the Houses when they talk to you, like - A downgrade of one of the ACES like INTC when
there is no OBVIOUS problem.
4. Understand Time Capsules - Oct to Dec is pretty obvious in an election year, earnings that are expected to be
good, Jan. effect which will come in Nov and finally another earnings period following Dec.
5. BUT ABOVE ALL - HAVE UNWAVERING FAITH IN THE STOCKS YOU BUY. It is this unwavering
FAITH that will allow you to laughingly buy on DIPS like yesterday.That is why you rarely see me in more than 4
stocks. I MUST HAVE FAITH IN THEM or FAITH that the Houses are trying to take my money..

Today - 8 - because of it's significance in the Time Capsule scenario. THE HOUSES DO NOT GIVE YOU 139
points in a day if they are going to take it below the previous close. So consider yesterday as your bottom.
Next two weeks - 6 - two steps forward and one step back but pace picks up toward the first of Oct.
Favorite stock - RMBS

I am afraid not my friend. I know that Mr. Block over at Raymond James has called the rise yesterday a Dead Cat

Smoke, Mirrors and projection by the Houses. Still say key is to keep your eye on the Capsule and not individual
stocks thrown out as bait by the Houses. Window dressing over at the end of this month plus a lot of Loss Taking

ONE MUST BUY THE STOCKS THEY BELIEVE IN HERE AND APPLY THE WHIP.
FEAR IS THE HOUSES GREATEST WEAPON.

Damn, Rob -- are you sure it's not too late?
Yes, I'm thinking of selling my house -- if I can turn the damn thing within a week -- to put all profits into Tom's
reco of those INTC Jan 01 60s ... and perhaps I'll also margin out all the credit card limits -- I have good credit.
Might be able to scrounge up another $50K or so going that route.
Hell, I'd be a fool NOT TO, eh?
Tom KNOWS ... therefore, here we GO. No questions asked.
Sell everything you own and put it into Voltaire's angelic whims.
'Selah' right back at ya, buddy ...
And be sure to ask Tom what that means ... but he doesn't know.
We went thru all that pesky definition of 'selah' on this board before it 'became' moderated ... he picked it up from
a Jewish journalist ... a columnist, I believe he posted ... from the Atlanta Constitution newspaper, and that was
'good enough for him,' okay?
What's it really mean? F**k it, says Voltaire.
Doesn't matter.
It just SOUNDS GOOD.
