I'd say tomorrow will be the better day. There is a direct relationship between Shrub mouth running and market averages falling. The more often he opens his idiot mouth, the more often the market tanks.

Hi Dale/BWAC Tuesday and Wednesday should both be good days. Merck only lost a dollar today in spite of the bad news. BWAC is correct that the Market tanks as Bush talks. We should all be thankful that Bush is giving this talk when the markets are closed. The worst thing that could happen is that Pitt is standing at Bush's right hand side and fanning a placard to keep Bush cool as Pitt gets re-endorsed by the President. This is a no politics thread, but what the politicians decide in the next few weeks determines what happens to our semi portfolios. JMO....Jerome

<font color=red>SPREAD THE WORD!!!!</font> Dale/All, Anyone interested in the integrity of our markets should make a quick visit here: Former SEC official launches RestoreTheTrust.com By United Press International. July 08, 2002 Almost a week before the Senate is scheduled to debate accounting reform legislation introduced by Sen. Paul Sarbanes, D-Md., a former Securities and Exchange Commission official has launched a new Web site for investors to express support for accounting reform. Nancy M. Smith said RestoreTheTrust.com enables investors to e-mail their senators urging them to vote for reform legislation. Widespread accounting scandals, of which WorldCom Inc. is the most recent, have caused massive and unexpected investor losses. "If you are fed up with companies cooking the books, go to RestoreTheTrust.com and tell your senators to support the Sarbanes bill," said Smith. The measure creates a regulatory system to oversee the auditing of public companies' books, and ends the current system that allows accountants to regulate themselves. It also prohibits accountants from auditing books and providing many lucrative consulting services for the same company. Reported by The Associated Press.
