Tito, Thanksgiving will be the time families realize what it is we are thankful for this year. My gut tells me that for your reasons and the above Christmas will not be that bad. I would not deny my kids, wife, and myself a treat after this terrible couple of months. When retail is declared not doa, with gas in the 90 cents area, with mortgages moving toward the 5's, with ag staying up all night printing money, with the Taliban near defeat and with God willing bin laden DEAD this rally make be a bull market rally, not the bear market rally some are calling it. Jury is out though Tito. We are one terror hit away from the negative scenario. mike
