prudentbear.com this link may already be posted; sorry if i am redundant. deals with stock options vs. cash salary (tends to affirm my long-held belief that f.a. is all b.s. and can be made by the co. to say whatever it wants) the wage pressure inherent in failure of stock-option payments. the tax bill now due. individuals may owe more in taxes (don't i know) and what sort of selling will this cause as 15 april approaches. or, the co. may take the tax burden, then what? a good read. don p.s. As a stop-gap measure, the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's top policymaking group, has authorized the New York Fed to continue a policy put in place in late 1999 as a protection against possible financial disruptions flowing from computers' inability to deal with the century date change, the problem known as Y2K. Under the policy, the New York Fed can accept mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by agencies such as Freddie Mac instead of Treasuries as collateral on loans extended to securities dealers. this seems an interesting idea. does it not go even further to legitimize the gse's contention that they are, indeed, backed by the federal gov't.? washingtonpost.com good noc all. wife, flashlite in hand, has gone off to the bedroom down the hill - we live in a compound just like bill gates, and i soon must follow.

Don, As far as this thread is concerned, everyone is invited until s/he gets out of hand. It's an open house, more or less, but if you have a sloppy drunk knocking over lamps and blowing his nose on the curtains, it's time to order a taxi cab and whisper, "don't come back." I've only ordered two taxicabs so far. I look forward to seeing Warp, et al here anytime. I'm looking for a Naz recovery in the latter half of this week, not so much on sunny skies but mostly on short covering and rotation. My stomach tells me we are near or at a bottom, but it could simply be this week's bottom, and not this month's bottom. I won't be surprised to see a Naz at 3000 or so by year's end, pricing in good news from 2002 at that time, but the road between here and there looks pretty rough and I'd prefer not to be a casualty on the roadside in the interim. Feel free to invite anyone you think could add value from SD or other threads.
