We have Cramer making threats that all small caps are dead because of the enron accounting issue. We have a positive Book to bill in semis, we have Military spending and reallocation of preference, we have consumer demand for new gadgets from DVD & soon DVD +R to Sat radio, HDTV Home theatre, etc etc etc. We have huge advances underway in New Materials, Fuel Cells and photovltaics. The Bio Techs are inches away from shaking the medical industry and what does wall street have to offer. More of the same Price Suppression, and Hedge fund complicity to get hold of supply. No It's you who know nothing. CNBS is spinning for all its worth, OBFUSCATION is the Current trend in the market. Boobs who know absolutely NADA about what their short, or why, repeat a mantra of slogans to rationalize their new found leadership. Hedge funds have already started to front run the boob shorts.They'll go back and forth until painting the numbers in such a way as to paint total chart failure. They drone on about BUY and Hold investing as dead. Traders share of free floats is shrinking, without MM help they'd be dead already and Cramer knows it. M&A Activity is on the rise, everyone is after the same thing Future Value. Dont let the BS fool you, keep a sharp eye on forward fundamentals, it's always the best weapon against OBFUSCATION. Cross ownership of these price suppression programs is yet to be linked to the Brands you know and trust, a hegemonious relationship of media and wall street needs to be exposed for what it is. The Churn is the program. Stalk this Bear. Addition by subtraction, all action happens against the float.
