VRSN Listened to CC and again it confirmed my calling on IT budget cutting. Many companies did not renew their domain name registrations and not many new ones either. Domain names seem like a passe now. Revenue is declining fast. 12-month out I see VRSN trading at $3. Ain't much business growth there.

yes, they have clarified the "economic" , it is to prepare for oil spike as you suggest<<The lag time until early next year resulted from a need "to create the right military, economic and diplomatic conditions," including avoiding summer combat in bulky chemical suits, preparing for a global oil price shock, and waiting until there was progress toward ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the newspaper said>> i still state we are approaching the time when we learn the HORRENDOUS mistake George Bush,sr made in FAILING to finish the job the first time. I won't pretend, i consider the Bush decision to stop the run/walk to Baghdad to be one of the greatest mistakes in the history of the world. What would have been a piece of cake, is now a minefield of complications, and possible dire consequences. I stress this is NOT 20/20 Hindsight,as the moment when i heard he had called a Halt i literally yelled "You stupid ----ing %%%%%%%, you have guaranteed the future will be Hell!!".Max p.s. i excerpt from my earlier comments on this matter <<<What do they think, they will go into and out of Iraq in a matter of weeks, i could be one hell of a quagmire. Including the the total collapse of the coalition. Is the U.S. getting delusions of grandeur on being able to "tailor" the world to its specifications? Our we now in the Hubris of Empire? Who knows, it's all muddle to me. Like whoever guaranteed there be answers to every question? I do know the extreme right-wing has the answer though, you simply blow up everybody up until there is only you left and then you declare yourself the winner. An amazing theory, the ultimate in self-centric mentality, where nothing matters but you, or your kind. It has only one flaw, it is fundamentally hard-core evil. And what is really "neat" now, quite a few groupings all have the same idea in the works. I can see/hear a Universe Tour Guide in some warp speed touring vessel saying "Now Folks our next stop will be Bedlam, otherwise known as the Planet Earth, to its inhabitants" >> repeated this as i want people to know i do not have an ounce of "pollyana" in me when considering what will and will not be. I attempt to be a harsh objectivist, and to avoid ALL fairy tales.
