kb, Re: Never heard of him, or the publication you cited. Ever heard of Richard Secord, Eliot Abrams, Buzzy Krongard, Otto Reich, John Poindexter, John Negroponte? Most of them convicted felons. All of them working for King George. Winokur is perhaps the most sinister. With his access to PROMIS, he's got the dirt on everyone in the nation. This is scary stuff, kb, your president is thinking about completing his coup d'etat and you're telling me I post too much? Who needs to get a life here? You or the vast bulk of Americans who are about to be led to fleecing the likes of which the world has never seen? """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Re: Does the phrase, "get a life" have ANY meaning to you? Frankly, I'd prefer to maintain the one I had before December, 2000. -Ray

BUSH in da awl patch...... Re: Never heard of him, or the publication you cited. Maybe this will jar your addled brain into consciousness: Everyone Is Outraged By PAUL KRUGMAN "...Now to the story of Harken Energy, as reported in The Wall Street Journal on March 4. In 1989 Mr. Bush was on the board of directors and audit committee of Harken. He acquired that position, along with a lot of company stock, when Harken paid $2 million for Spectrum 7, a tiny, money-losing energy company with large debts of which Mr. Bush was C.E.O. Explaining what it was buying, Harken's founder said, "His name was George Bush." Unfortunately, Harken was also losing money hand over fist. But in 1989 the company managed to hide most of those losses with the profits it reported from selling a subsidiary, Aloha Petroleum, at a high price. Who bought Aloha? A group of Harken insiders, who got most of the money for the purchase by borrowing from Harken itself. Eventually the Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that this was a phony transaction, and forced the company to restate its 1989 earnings. But long before that ruling — though only a few weeks before bad news that could not be concealed caused Harken's shares to tumble — Mr. Bush sold off two-thirds of his stake, for $848,000. Just for the record, that's about four times bigger than the sale that has Martha Stewart in hot water. Oddly, though the law requires prompt disclosure of insider sales, he neglected to inform the S.E.C. about this transaction until 34 weeks had passed. An internal S.E.C. memorandum concluded that he had broken the law, but no charges were filed. This, everyone insists, had nothing to do with the fact that his father was president. Given this history — and an equally interesting history involving Dick Cheney's tenure as C.E.O. of Halliburton — you could say that this administration is uniquely well qualified to chase after corporate evildoers. After all, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney have firsthand experience of the subject. And if some cynic should suggest that Mr. Bush's new anger over corporate fraud is less than sincere, I know how his spokesmen will react. They'll be outraged. " Message 17682344 """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Ever heard of Harken Oil, kb? NO? Ever heard of George Bush, SEC Rule 4 violator?

Damn, hated to do it, but I had to place my third person on ignore. If the world's going to fall apart, I must do the best I can in the market because I may not get another chance, being dead and all that. I can't afford to be distracted with the markets going the way they are. Life has been good since I deleted the knucklehead twins, I just added Ray. Sorry Ray, but business is business. I need to focus on the markets. I won't be able to read your response. Best of luck and may the black helicopters land on someone else's rig. Speaking of RIG, anyone notice that RIG closed below the 200 dma. Ohhh-la-la! The OSX may be in deep trouble if it doesn't turn in the next day or two. I'm going to wait. No sense in jumping the gun, especially if the chamber is loaded, if you know what I mean. I watched Pearl Harbor tonight. I hate love stories mixed in with war stories. I had to fast forward until I got to the fighting part. The movie wasn't that long once you got past the mushy stuff. I had time left over, so I watched The Patriot again. Still some of that dumb love stuff, but it did have more fighting. Maybe I'll watch Hamburger Hill next. The only love stuff in that movie is with prostitutes, and that doesn't count as love stuff. Know what I mean? Yeah, I need to see more blood and guts, just like the market action of late. dabum

I think Raymond is perhaps a group. Wild eyed and over-caffeinated. I have read this thread and SD for years now and I think of early Post Patrol, etc. when I scan his hyperbole. Just stirring things up with a bunch of stuff. The other night he was on the attack at John Pitera's thread and literally ran him off. At that point he had been posting for most of a 24 hr period. I don't put him on ignore. I remember ignoring the obnoxious early Slider at my own financial peril in 1997. This man is not nearly as amusing and clever in his remarks... Sharon
