Jerome, [added content below] re >This six month thing is repeated so often...< So, do you buy a stock because of it's past? Why does everyone always declare "what they say in the cc is more important than the earnings"? Because they want to be assured of improvement in the future, be it 4,6 or 8 months. >Why not sell the stock now and buy it back in six months?< Because in 6 months with the improvement at hand it will cost more. Unless there's no improvement after all, then it will cost less. But then you shouldn't buy it even though it costs less because... Maybe your mule will complete the explanation.<G> [added: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Michael Moskow said in a speech in Milwaukee that he is "cautiously optimistic" that economic growth will gradually improve later this year, though he warned the economy could suffer if consumer spending slows. That came on top of a variety of comments over the weekend from Wall Street economists, many of them also looking for an economic upturn as the year continues.] So, everyone buy something! Gottfried
