Speaking of Job creation, I've always liked the Japanese way like: --- importing lumber from the Philippines then it's people convert them into PlyWood then export back to the country the lumber originated from. Good jobs are generated for both countries. Now I can't help but be impressed with the British this time, they found a way to solve their personnel needs at the same time sell their products abroad: --- RP, UK forge countertrade deal Employment for equipment By Bernie Cahiles-magkilat The Philippines and the United Kingdom have signed a countertrade agreement which would allow employment access for Filipino information technology and medical workers to Britain in exchange for the supply of anti-terrorism equipment and maritime traffic information systems to the Philippines. The agreement was signed by Philippine International Trading Corp. president and chief executive officer Arthur Yap and Norstrad Group chairman Dr. Rogers Saunders. The signing held recently at the Philippine Embassy in London was witnessed by Ambassador Cesar B. Bautista, Mark Quinn, senior managing director of Global Trade Group Ltd. and Nigel Dicks, managing director of Crown Scientific Ltd. "We have to move into trading of services not just goods," said Yap on the Philippine position for market access for Filipino IT and medical workers in UK in exchange for the UK's supply of anti-terrorism and maritime traffic information systems to the Philippines. There was no detail, however, as to how the entry of Filipino IT and medical workers to the UK could be facilitated. Normally, countertrade arrangement involve only the exchange of goods. This is the first time that services have been tapped in such deal. UK is a big market for medical workers where the Philippines could take advantage of because of its huge manpower pool. Beneficiaries of the antiterrorism supplies and maritime traffic information systems will be the Philippine National Police and Philippine Ports Authority. The supplies have an estimated total value of $274.7 million. Countertrade agreements are covered under Executive Order No. 120 and are implemented for the Philippines by the PITC. mb.com.ph

AMAT YoYo Demo —- Well, what I didn't want to happen happened. AMAT continued its decline down to –40% from the Landing Top. The whole Market has no strength to get out from the hole. I'm afraid we'll stay low until Oct or after the election. Everything is screwed up. Before, we just have to contend with Paid Analysts who see to it that the Market stayed down by reiterating their downgrades every time the Market threatens to go up. They can indirectly downgrade AMAT by giving negative comments on another tech stock and vice versa. The Government is of no help by reiterating their warnings about terrorist actions by saying “ … it may happen today, tomorrow or never, who knows … ” They keep on reminding us not to forget how to get scared. Then, when the Market starts recovering again, comes another announcement of another Company being investigated. … and the Cheats don't get punished —- they're still enacting Laws in congress in order to jail the Crooks. Oh, how I wish we go back to the 1990s! …. It's really tough for the guy who makes an honest living in the stock market. Good for the well dressed Crooks … EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 10 Calls Jul 20 Bought 6/4/02 @ 2.55/sh … LOSS = -2,550 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 20 Calls Jul 22.5 Bought 5/30/02 @ 1.80/sh … LOSS = -3,600 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 20 Calls Jul 22.5 Bought 5/6/02 @ 2.90/sh … LOSS = -5,800 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 40 Calls Jul 25 Bought 2/14/02 @ 2.80/sh … LOSS = -11,200 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 20 Calls Jul 25 Bought 4/18/02 @ 3.50/sh … LOSS = -7,000 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 20 Calls Jul 25 Bought 5/15/02 @ 3.60/sh … LOSS = -7,200 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 10 Calls Jul 17.5 Bought 6/21/02 @ 2.40/sh … LOSS = -2,400 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh AMAT 10 Calls Jul 17.5 Bought 6/20/02 @ 2.70/sh … LOSS = -2,700 EXPIRED 7/20/02 @ 0.00/sh QQQ 20 Calls Jul 24 Bought 6/21/02 @ 2.70/sh … LOSS = -5,400 7/21/02 Total Gains/Losses thus far: --- AMAT Gains: —- … LEAPs and other Longer Term Options = - $4,374 … (-2,550 –3,600 –5,800 –11,200 –7,000 –7,200 +32,976) … One Month and other Very Short Term Options = $21,550 …….
