Energyplay and Q007, I think your two posts identify the two areas of the market that I am looking at. I have about 2/3 of my portfolio in biotech stocks even though I know some of them will bust. With the technical breakthroughs and the aging of the wealthy baby boomers there is a lot of money that will be made and spent there. The other sector that looks promising to me is Q007's oil service sector. (I've awarded it to you Q in honor of your recent calls.g.) In a worst case scenario, the outlook is not bad there, only delayed. In a best (or worst depending on your view) the outlook for gains there is very good. That adds up to little mid term risk and lots of potential gain. I like the risk/benefit balance there. Ed

>> we may see 30 year mortgages down below 5% << Oh yeah! That's what I've been talking about. 7% mortgage rates are nothing compared to the FED rate. Let mortgage rates come down to 5% and stand back! The consumer will be doin a whole lotta consumin', as our Fritz Hollings likes to say. Can you imagine the consumer spending that would occur if credit cards would come down to 7%? Retail stocks would go nuts! Yeah baby, give me five gimme five. (shaking the dice) da-gamblin-bum
