<<a "tsunami">> Nick: Unfortunately, the radical and ruthless terrorists caused that when they leveled the WTC towers...They set off a tsunami of IRRATIONAL fear in the markets (and may have assisted by shorting in their offshore accounts as well). They want to destroy our way of life. We will ultimately prevail....Yet, this will be a long, hard battle. Regards, Scott

how about that TSUNAMI (not what I expected) terrorism on a few fronts and different nations Benny Laden and his handymen are likely to focus on US targets their creativity convinces me of new targets e.g. water supply e.g. train stations (transportation ripple effects) e.g. schools the European events will be for distraction possibly from non-Laden groups who take advantage of chaos as for financial markets, patriotic buyers will get slaughtered unemployment will rise substantially heard today a guess of 5.5% economists call them forecasts, but their are only educated guesses recession will be at least 2 qtrs, possibly 3 qtrs property prices will finally come down everywhere Europeans and Asians were eager to buy US property that tide will be stemmed I give 90% chance of the following: Saudi King Fahd will be assassinated Pakistan's President will be assassinated Pakistan will enter a Civil War Israel will suffer its worst terrorist attack in history e.g. Knesset bombed while in session I believe in upcoming months, US and Euro allies will regain the upper hand several key pro-Laden "workers" will disappear several cells will publicly be smashed but Americans will bemoan our lost freedoms I also expect a nasty backlash against Arab-Americans it has begun in earnest now Habeas Corpus and Holding for Suspicion laws are already being revamped 100's of deportations will take place as for stocks, I expect to see 1350 on Naz possibly some support at 1500 area is likely from 1998 levels why the Dow wasnt at 7500-8000 this spring is a mystery to me it will get there and stay there for a while that is what I see but since 1991 vision in my left eye has slipped something to do with a retinal blister / jim
