VOLTS, congrats on the victory today, but I dont want to remind you that the naz is still down about 50%. The majority of people I know were out of the way for this rally. As for GOLD , the rate cuts are Good for gold because they will start the inflationary scenario. There were already Inflationary problems under the surface as seen in th NAPM and they will become more of a problem. I am neither long or short anything(though I wish I was today-g-)except GOLD. In a US recession or re-inflation of buble Gold wins. In many ways Gold will probably suceed better in inflation then recession. If you noticed Commodities were also strong today. I think Energy will be still stronger if the fed can pull a rabbit out of the proverbial hat. I am still skeptical that Rate cuts wont help this time, though I wont bet on it. Regards

Wow, you're pretty cocky, standing on your already-margin-weakened "porch," proclaiming some sort of victory. Nasdung gives up 2700 points from its high, then today Easy Al gives you a cheap 300 point up day, and you're ALREADY proclaiming victory? Sorry Bub, your little "victory dance" today is akin to doing a touchdown dance in the endzone after scoring to "narrow" the deficit to 66-7. You're A LONG WAY from being in the black. I guess in your mind, you figure "hey, 300 points down, 2400 points to go...no problem." Keep dreaming, Porch Boy. All you did was keep your margin clerk from making her daily phone call to you. Don't worry--by now she has you on speed-dial. Good luck ('cause God knows you're gonna need it), Gary
