<<If the administration is seriously using these these terms then that is extraordinarily dangerous as it can very quickly become self fulfilling and spread abroad and then wash back to the US giving the US a double whammy.>> There is a growing amount of evidence that the administration is obtaining cooperation from institutional investment firms to stop investing in technology issues as a way of causing a market panic and a faster reaction by Congress to the administration's tax cut proposals. It is also interesting that the only groups of stocks that are holding up well in this market, or even going up, are oils, tobaccos, and drug company stocks. Art
