It seems the market always goes up with Greenspan makes a speech, but then the same day or the next it pulls back again sometimes lower then before. A couple of weeks ago I sent 3 online payments to my broker for $500, $500 and $200. They accepted the first one, but they would not accept the next two. The payments got sent as checks from my bank because my broker wasn't set up to accept "electronic bill pay" only checks or wired funds. My account is a joint account (why isn't really important right now) but the checks just have my name on them and I am the only one who uses the account, but the checks from the bank had both names on them and they wanted a noterized statement for each payment. They will send the 2 unacepted payments back to the bank, pay any fees, and pay for the cost for me to wire the money to the brokerage account but I have $700 that I have not been able to use for a a week and a half.

Ted Re...I bought some defense stocks today and sold some of my oils. <<<< I don't know about that one. I agree that defense will do well, but there was an article on CNBC last wk. and they think that if GW goes after Iraq, oils, especially domestic, will shoot up. Right now, I am betting on natural gas; as this country will rely more and more upon natural gas, because it is cleaner. However with the restrictions upon drilling in ANWR and the Gulf, plus natural gas isn't imported, except Canada, is likely to mean natural gas will be priced higher than petroleum in the near future. Natural gas has gone from a throw away resource, to the most desired fuel source in instances where natural gas is an option; because of green house effects, and EPA standards.
