<<FERC is right: capping prices does exactly NOTHING to ensure adequate supplies.>>

I agree, and this is blowing up into a major regional issue in the western states. One of the newly elected Corporation Commissioners (Marc Spitzer) was sworn in today, and commented on the Cali energy crisis, basically vowing that he would not let "California's problem become Arizona's problem" or words to that effect. The threat of legalized "power robbery" by those who refused to plan (power "debtors" like California) from those who DID plan (power suppliers like Arizona/Nevada/Oregon et. al) is very real in these parts.

A couple of positives in today's action

1. Contraction in new lows on the NAZDAQ when it hit 2300
the previous time.
2. Lighter volume on the NAZDAQ.
3. Semi equipment stocks like AMAT, NVLS etc were up today.

Could we be forming a double bottom on the NAZDAQ ?

Another positive

Cramer asking people to get out of the high multiple tech
like Brocade etc. reminds me of a call he made to get out of
stocks at the bottom in 1998.

Thanks

Not true. Controlling or limiting prices or profits, or even simply allowing the possibility, actively destroys potential supplies and suppliers.
