Now to the markets: unless you want to short now, buy these cheap cash-machine Baby Bells like VZ at PE 10 with no profit warning. Or catch the tech former-leader bottoms (CSCO, PALM, SUNW, EMC, ADBE, AAPL, LU) and hold until there's a shortage of product and interest rates are at 4% and borrowing dirt cheap. We're in for a recession of 6-12 months but vastly lowered expectations may bring upside surprises sooner than people think. Patience and buying when no one else is will be rewarded. Companies like VZ, GE and SBC will take over anything they want cheaply and end up ruling. I'd also look at obvious takeover targets like LOR, WCOM, FON and ELNK. They gotta go soon. And the internet is stil growing by leaps and bounds. Make no mistake. I like Boeing (spy satellite biz especially), JNJ and CAT (bull-dozing wilderness areas) on dips. Sadly, the oil companies that benefit from ruining ANWAR, refinery builders and coal polluters (especially during an energy crisis) may also be good buys. But I prefer to invest in clean companies. Shell is the most ethical of the bunch so that would be my choice if you want to go oil patch. Also fuel cell and clean energy producers. But damn Cheney for suggesting more nuclear plants. Not in his neighborhood I'm sure. So in whose? We are once against approaching very oversold territory. Buyers beware but buyers also be aware. Cash is king when you're unsure. PS - Make your voices heard in DC if you agree with anything I say. The foxes are in our chicken coop. Don't be fooled by the rhetoric.

OT: Wow, AS, tell me what you really think. We agree to disagree. Clinton did plenty more to harm our country than have sex with an intern. Having said that, either the act itself or his lying about it should have been enough to remove him from office. Too bad our country is too inured by scandal and lies to care any more. You who think that the Republican Party is the great evil have your own form of blinders on. Neither Party is pristine. Both have their skeletons. To suggest that the evils that will befall are all Bush related is pure fiction. By the way, Cheney didn't have a "vote" on the release of Nelson Mandela. That was South Africa's business and they didn't ask the US for their opinion. We can't even solve our own problems, we have little right to meddle in the private affairs of other countries unless they have a direct impact on our own.

American Spirit I agree with you 100% IMO WATER will be more important than New Tech. OT: Forget the markets, what about the environment? Much more important longterm than anyone's profits. Bush sold himself him to the polluters all right.

Give us a break from all the political CRAP. This is a great thread when all the hot potatoes turn the RANT button OFF. Please take it to one of the political threads, and stay on topic. Informed people may disagree. Many of us enjoy cruising the market so that we can get AWAY from all this crap. It's available 24 x 7 all over the airwaves and the web. How about turning it OFF on the MDD thread. >>Forget the markets<<
