Let's see. Who was it who said if he were elected (or even just attained the Presidency via the Supreme Court) he could effectively deal with Congress on both sides of the aisle? Charles Tutt (TM)

JDN, dream on ........... AG and GW Bush want a low stock market period. Each for various reasons but both want a down market for personal gain. If it would be different they would have acted much more earlier........... but they did not and that is a fact. US interest rates are to high by 10% based on the current exchange rate. Only if the Euro and the Yen will trade 1.35 and 105 respectively it will signal to low interest rates in the US. BWDIK Haim

<i<I blame much of this on our lousy Govt. Those jokers are up there arguing about a lousy $300 and a lousy 1% of GNP over 10 year tax cut. Meanwhile capital markets are suffering damage that Psychologically could cause a hurt for YEARS. This is atrocious behavior, many of the socalled leaders in Govt are practicing partisan politics, reminds me of NERO fiddling while ROME burns. Here is what I believe would kick this country out of its malaise and generate enthusiasm, investment and a sound economy. 1. IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND ALL CAPITAL GAINS TAXES FOR 3 YEARS. the purpose of this is to force investment capital into the market to grease the wheels of industry in this nation. 2. IMMEDIATELY reduce the Federal Reserve Interest Rate to 4%. If this involves suspending the Chairman, do so as an emergency measure declaring him PUBLIC ENEMY #1. 3. IMMEDIATELY send a check for $300 to every person who filed a tax return. This would be a GOOD FAITH payment by the Govt. and would be expected to spent as FUN MONEY on anything anyone wanted. This would have a limited effect but it would help people to believe that the Govt cares. 4. Adopt GW's tax rate cut plan (personally I think it ought to be more than 1% of the GNP over the next ten years but GW says thats enough so I will go with him--FOR NOW. Provide the above type of SHOCK TREATMENT right now and quite fiddling Congress!! JDN>> ... so if I can translate, you are saying that the decrease in value of your investment in SUNW is the fault of everyone, but the one person who had control over the situation - YOU, the stockholder ... ... you are so funny, JDN Ken

<<GW says thats enough so I will go with him--FOR NOW.>> Some how i don't think you'd be so deferential if Al Gore had won and the market tanked the way it has under Bush. In fact i'm pretty sure you'd be screaming bloody murder. I can't help but be reminded of something you said before the election: "If its GORE, baby we are going down the tubes, if its Bush, we got a chance to fly with the Eagles." And this after it was over: "Dear Charles: I spoke to my broker about that very thing yesterday, he informed me that the big money people were sitting on the sidelines until Gore actually Conceded as they didnt trust him. Well, its done now, so beginning today I guess you can blame the good or the bad on Bush as we go forward." Steve Dietrich

I too believe and have stated so for such a long time that the chairman of the Federal Reserve should be fired and now I think he should be thrown in jail too. The carnage done by his atrocious and despicable conduct is tatamount to any serious crime on humanity one can imagine. The Fed has all but sabotaged corporations resulting in the loss of our wealth and dreams for the future. It is insane that America's corporations and shareholders are held hostage to the madness and ruthlessness of a non-caring banking leader. It is also insane that Americans are not outraged and wanting to rid society of this treacherous madness that heads the Federal Reserve. Shame on our political leaders for permitting this carnage on all hard working citizens. Where is the justice and remedy to this daily indignation and suffering?? Almost daily the bad news continues without end as the stream of disappointing earnings and warnings sink the markets and crush investments. We work and sweat all our lives and warned to invest as to hedge against inflation and to save for a comfortable retirement. What f---king lies they make us swallow?? What about these lying analysts who last year when techs were at their all time high they were telling us to make them our core holdings. Today those same bastards are downgrading those same stocks causing them to hit new lows. Is it not true that we were warned to invests since social security may not exist when we retire?. We are made out to be fools and lambs at the slaughter and yes suckers only to be victims of legalized stripping of our hard earnings. Throw the bums out!! Maybe America should launch a class action suit against the Federal Reserve for recovery of monies that was lost in our portfolios over the past year due to the lies and indifference of the Fed? The first thing that our new leader should have done was to ask Al to leave for the common good of all America. Fed up with the Fed Frank
