Hola Dealer: I thought about that because it's suppose to get cold again tonight. It's chilly out there now and those little fellas don't have any feathers of course. Momma better get back in her house! Yep, the ole toad frogs are out now, and I've already been moving turtles out of the road the past week, so spring is here indeed! Take care. RR

M A R K E T .. S N A P S H O T -- Can stocks extend winning streak? Averages may take a breather at the open By Julie Rannazzisi, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 7:27 AM ET Apr 19, 2001 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - The Nasdaq is looking to extend its winning streak to three days in a row and the Dow Industrials to five on Thursday, as the Fed's astounding rate cut Wednesday will perhaps continue to entice buyers. In the early going, however, the futures markets indicated that buyers were ready to take a pause. June S&P 500 futures gained 1.30 points, or 0.1 percent, but were trading 2.40 points below fair value, according to figures provided by HL Camp & Co. Nasdaq futures, on the other hand, rose 30.00 points, or 1.6 percent. Government prices opened mixed after a seesaw session Wednesday in the aftermath of the Fed rate cut, which primarily benefited short-term issues while long-dated Treasurys were unable to gain much traction on the news. The 10-year Treasury note was off 1/32 to yield ($TNX) 5.15 percent while the 30-year government bond erased 7/32 to yield ($TYX) 5.68 percent. On the economic front, Thursday will see the release of weekly initial claims and the Philly Fed Index for April. View Economic Preview and economic calendar and forecasts. In the currency arena, dollar/yen edged down 0.2 percent to 121.79 while euro/dollar shed 0.1 percent to 0.8825. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
