how poetic, Tom finally you speak with wisdom your first correct call since June2000 my bag of water will surely fertilize vegetation and feed microbes my temporary temple will be of little use they are welcome to it, when my times comes and I will not care for my spirit will be in a better, more pure place I eagerly await my fate such mocking flattery cannot obscure your lost control nor your growing frustration with events you have failed to see and have yet to foresee invest in stocks that will profit from my feasting worms I put my treasure in more permanent things isnt it ironic how our courts forbid prayer in schools and elsewhere? and now, the president, congressman, news anchors, mayors, countless leaders... they all urge us during this time to PRAY to what? your golf course? your brass bed? I think not I expect some miracles from the one true God in the next several months many will call it luck, good fortune, the result of hard work no, Tom, worms are the last frontier for you and others equally misguided it is not mine your wisdom and foresight is a mirage built upon great generosity and charisma you are dangerous to yourself, to those you influence it has taken me a long time to realize this I thank God you are now left in charge of so little in this world I dont have all the right answers but the last thing I am is what you call me -- ROMANTIC that is your new label to stick on those who disagree with you to call me that is a sorry and careless attempt to dismiss read my posts on abduction and throat slitting, of covert actions, of extreme missions not romantic one iota, pure practical and unscrupulous, measured humbly, Jim but now suddenly, Professor JW

From a Trading Website... <<I am a banker. I'll pass along a tidbit that demonstrates just how much liquidity the Fed has dumped into the system. A couple of days ago, we sold Fed Funds at 1%. Forget about the Fed's posted target. This morning we went to sell Funds, and there were NO BIDS. None. Nada. Zip. At no price. I would presume that extraordinary situation changed later in the morning / day, did not check back with those who watch such things. But if ever one were to see a sign that liquidity is so extremely high there are NO BUYERS of Fed Funds, folks lemme tell ya there it is. Whatever else happens from here on out, nobody will ever be able to argue the Fed failed to flood the system with money>> well, we knew that, but still...The FED has been SUPER AGGRESSIVE and look what has happened to the market. 2 years ago if I ever said the Naz would be BELOW 1500 by late Sept. in 2001 you would have told me I was on drugs...Well, it has happened...Over $1 Trillion in investor wealth has evaporated in the last week...It will come back BUT it may take time. Some folks say look out for 'the crash'...I would say we've had it...Check out the Naz chart for the last 18 months -- we're down around 70% and in a brutal bear market...A lot of it has to do with Investor Psychology, IMO....Many don't know how to process this new type of FEAR and UNCERTAINTY...It eventually will die down but its more intense than many of us ever thought it would be. Batten down the hatches and lets ride out this storm.

Only Solitaire Brain-storming habit-forming battle-warning weary winsome actor spewing spineless chilling lines. The critics falling over to tell themselves he's boring and really not an awful lot of fun. Well who the hell can he be when he's never had V.D., and he doesn't even sit on toilet seats? Court-jesting, never-resting he must be very cunning to assume an air of dignity and bless us all with his oratory prowess, his lame-brained antics and his jumping in the air. And every night his act's the same and so it must be all a game of chess he's playing "But you're wrong, Steve: you see, it's only solitaire." -Ian Anderson ____________________________________________________________ Happy New Year mon ami!
