In the past, I have agreed with you, more so than not, but, I learned more about you reading your last few replies, than the hundreds of posting of yours I have read on the numerous threads I have read. I think your market insight is pretty close to the mark, and you are doing this from the Arctic Refuge. Being only 46 years old, some day I want to retire and trade from a remote location. I have been driving this course for three-four years. I am using Samsung Web phone and a Palm 7 for when traveling and with an 800mz Sony Vaio and a Compaq 700mz connect to my hub into a DSL systems. I have traded stock while driving in the mountains with my cell phone and some day hope to move away from the Bay Area. Stan

OT I am very disappointed they are even considering drilling int the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Allowing them to drill here would necessitate changing the name to something like Arctic National Wildlife Park, since refuge means ref·uge (rĕf'yûj) n. Protection or shelter, as from danger or hardship. A place providing protection or shelter. A source of help, relief, or comfort in times of trouble. there should be draconian penalties for the oil companies, agreed upon up front, if they do another Exxon Valdez I can easily see Big Oil getting out of any stiff penalties bc of their clout on the Hill. Good idea, but the damage would already be done, and any draconian punishment would be very difficult, if not impossible, to mete out IMO. They should be looking at conservation efforts(ie alternatives to 10 MPG SUV's!!), pursuing alternative energy sources, and giving huge tax breaks/credits for breakthroughs in superconductivity. And there really should be ways of dissuading people from using SUV's for transport to and from work anyway. This is wholly irresponsible unless ones business lies off of a dirt track. BTW, there is talk that Dean Kamen's "Ginger" a.k.a. IT is a prototype of a Stirling engine design, a very efficient gas powered engine. I have nothing against the people working for Exxon, but I would love to see Kamen put them all out of business. BK
