Don't start with that depressing stuff- otherwise I'll ask to borrow some zoloft. <ng> Once we nail this son of a bitch - The bull market rocket will be launched Tuesday April 30, 2:45 AM Bin Laden escaped with Afghan commander's help: rival warlord Osama bin Laden was able to escape the clutches of US troops in Afghanistan thanks to a powerful military commander currently serving with the Afghan government, a rival warlord said. Commander Hazrat Ali helped the alleged terrorist mastermind flee from the eastern Tora Bora mountains during an intense US-led offensive last December, strongman Haji Zaman told reporters in this northwestern frontier city. Ali was recently appointed security chief and commander of the country's eastern zone by Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai, replacing the sacked Zaman. Zaman said Ilyas Khel, another Afghan commander, had been appointed by Ali to guard the route by which bin Laden made his escape. "Ilyas Khel was a supporter of bin Laden's al-Qaeda network and Hazrat Ali knew it," he said. He said he was unaware of bin Laden's current whereabouts and denied allegations that he was himself instrumental in the al-Qaeda chief's escape. "This is a lie. I captured 55 al-Qaeda fighters during the operation in Tora Bora and handed them over to the government," he said. Zaman also claimed he had been forced from his command post and out of Afghanistan by former members of the powerful anti-Taliban Northern Alliance because of his support for a forthcoming Loya Jirga grand assembly to select the country's next government. "My only crime is that I support the Loya Jirga while my rivals from the Northern Alliance did not." He added that bomb attack in the eastern city of Jalalabad during a recent visit by Afghan Defence Minister Mohammad Qasim Fahim was a plot to show that he could not maintain security. ************* Best Regards, J.T.

bb, we really have not diverged! I noted several times in the last few months that this quarter would make the 6th quarter in a row that the EPS for the Big Boyz, 75 stocks that account for 50% of all the equity in this country, were going to be negative in comparison to the prior year. With most of the Big Boyz reporting, it wasn't even close with a median EPS this quarter of $ .30 compared to $ .40 last year. Now, the next one is easy. The negative streak ends at 6. All the EPS has to do is go sideways to accomplish this objective. So, somewhere in the next couple of months is going to be a great buying opportunity. Further, we shouldn't have to deal with the massive write-off's of goodwill in the next quarter. I'm sure the FASB was trying to help when they changed that rule. Boy, did it back-fire! I believe the folks looking for a low in June are just wrong. Being on the front lines of the Fed revenue collection efforts, it is going to come out in May how bad the deficit is going to be for this year. Clearly, the gold market is already understanding this issue. Inflation has nothing to do with the CRB, the CRB reacts to the government printing presses. Let the word go forth "to friend and foe" that the news is not going to be well-received. That said, I'm fully positioned for this full moon, end of month, in front of the Fed, oversold bounce. Sure hope it happens! Just a View from the Swamp Berney
