May scurry back to cash..With Powell going to the mideast next week, I figure Israel is going to crank it up prior to his arrival..As they did just prior to the end in 67..Interesting that they are limiting reporting out of the country, reminds me of the communication control shown when Israel "accidently" sunk the US ship, USS Liberty.Many forget this. "eyewitness participants from the Israeli side have told survivors that they knew they were attacking an American ship."

Well, since we have seemed to have lost all interest in the markets for a while I thought I'd paste this: rec. from Eggshape via email. Thanks! Pretty much sums up the way most people feel about the market right now I think.

"Several weekends ago, I was rushing around trying to do some Valentine's Day shopping. I was stressed out and not thinking very fondly of the weather right then. It was dark, cold, and wet in the parking lot.

As I was loading my car up, I noticed that I was missing a receipt that I might need later. So mumbling under my breath, I retraced my steps to the mall entrance. As I was searching the wet pavement for the lost receipt, I heard a quiet sobbing.

The crying was coming from a poorly dressed boy of about 12. He was short and thin. He had no coat. He was just wearing a ragged flannel shirt to protect him from the cold night's chill.

Oddly enough, he was holding a hundred dollar bill in his hand. Thinking that he had gotten lost from his parents, I asked him what was wrong.

He told me his sad story. He said that he came from a large family. He had three brothers and four sisters. His father had died when he was nine years old. His mother was poorly educated and worked two full time jobs and made very little to support her large family.

Nevertheless, she had managed to skimp and save two hundred dollars to buy her children some Valentine's Day presents (since she didn't manage to get them anything on Christmas). The young boy had been dropped off, by his mother, on the way to her second job. He was to use the money to buy presents for all his siblings and save just enough to take the bus home.

He had not even entered the mall, when an older boy grabbed one of the hundred dollar bills and disappeared into the night.

"Why didn't you scream for help?" I asked.

The boy said, "I did."

"And nobody came to help you?" I queried.

The boy stared at the sidewalk and sadly shook his head. "How loud did you scream?" I inquired.

The soft-spoken boy looked up and meekly whispered, "Help me!" I realized that absolutely no one could have heard that poor boy cry for help.

So I grabbed his other hundred and ran to my car."

Sincerely,

Kenneth Lay
Former CEO, Enron Corporation
