Barker, excellent rebuttal. Still wondering, head injury or birth defect?

Body Count: April 2, 2001 04.02.01, 12:40 PM ET YA REALLY THINK WE AT THE BOTTOM? I SAY NOT A CHANCE BUT THE LONGS KEEP EXPERIMENTING. GOOD LUCK IS ALL I CAN SAY. HERE IS A FEW WEEKS DATA--FOR A TASTE The latest casualties of the economic downturn: Chemical giant DuPont (nyse: DD - news - people) will cut 4,000 employees, or 4% of its total workforce, and slow production at less profitable plants to cut costs as the economy slows. Dupont will cut workers from its nylon, Lycra and polyester fiber businesses. In addition to cutting 4,000 permanent jobs, Dupont will shed 1,300 contract workers. Ford Motor (nyse: F - news - people) will cut 830 jobs, or 0.2% of its workforce, because of slowing sales of its Expedition and Navigator sport utility vehicles. One production shift will be cut at Ford's truck plant in Wayne, Mich. 275 of these employees are being offered new jobs in Wixom, Mich. Aerospace company Honeywell (nyse: HON - news - people) will lay off 475 employees, or 0.4% of its total workforce, because of the slowing economy. The Morristown, N.J.-based company will cut jobs at its Arizona division. Honeywell said the layoffs are unrelated to its pending acquisition by General Electric (nyse: GE - news - people). -- Marcella Bernhard Date \| Company \| No. Of Layoffs \| % Of Workforce April 2 \| DuPont \| 4,000 \| 4% Focus On The Forbes 500s: DuPont The Panty Hose Wars Du Pont On The Forbes 500s April 2 \| Ford Motor \| 830 \| 0.2% The Ford Itch Mercury Lives--Up to a Point Ford Motor On The Forbes 500s April 2 \| Honeywell \| 475 \| 0.4% Wishful Thinking Honeywell Hooks up With GE Honeywell On The Forbes 500s March 30 \| Kellogg \| 620 \| 1% Deal Of The Day: Kellogg's Elvin Play Fat Chance Kellogg On The Forbes 500s March 30 \| Venator \| 3,000 \| 6% Struggling Venator Looks To The Web For Salvation Buy It Retail Venator On The Forbes 500s March 30 \| R.R.

Barker, Ally's got me all interested now...what's your pick? Don't give us that nickle and dime shit either. I'd like to see you pull off the big whamma-lamma-ding-dong flip of the year. You know...the kind that makes us bow in your cyber-presence. I want to read about it in papers that don't even have financial sections. I want to see "Barker Rulz!" up on the scoreboard next hockey game. I want to buy the "I'm Barker the Trader" stuffed animal. I want my girlfriend to mistakenly moan "Barker" next time. Think you can put out or are you just a teacher?
