Okrious, Is anyone finding it suspect that everyone on every thread is bullish? The btb was better, but it's still down 50% from April 2001 levels. <<The three-month average of worldwide billings in April 2002 was $822 million. The billings figure is three percent above the revised March 2002 level of $798 million and 50 percent below the April 2001 billings level of $1.65 billion. >> Also, housing starts were down over 5%, unemployment claims are NOT slowing down and are, in fact, rising. The CPI number was dismal, companies are not making any more money than they were in boom times, personal and business bankruptcies are up, insider selling has not stopped nor has it slowed down. Oh, and the sentiment number sucked, so did philly fed. please note that i've said nothing about pe ratios...as if THOSE ever mattered... (insert deep breath here) Furthermore, employees are being financially raped by CEO's who are getting huge bonuses for nothing (ala wcom), I could wallpaper every Wal-mart in the nation with the amount of money being printed, the government lies to the US public every day and no one seems to care, the deficit is outta control, the dollar is barely hovering at support, it's options expirations week, and gold has found solid support. Not that anyone in the US gives a sht, but the middle east is hosting its own personal hell to which we are the guest of honor, the war on terrorism has not made any progress, we have not found Dr. Evil himself (osama)... Ok, I've convinced myself. Everything's fine. Let's rally.
