Mepci, "God" is trying to tell us something. 400 sheep jumped over a cliff in Europe because they were being chased by a pack of wolves; they were panic stricken. If those 400 sheep had let the wolves take a few and stand their ground, they'd mostly all be alive. I can hear Jesus now say, "Verily, verily I say, consider these sheep..." The current set of accounting rules served America for the last 60 years (other than options), and few complained. Fear of the future and lack of understanding regarding the stock market are two driving forces which have helped create our current malaise. I don't see how one can fix a flawed accounting system (other than option reporting). The system will always be flawed. Don't you think "they'll" always come up with loop holes regardless of which system is being utilized? Have you reviewed the "Govt" debt correlation to the rising stock market? As Govt debt rises, the market rises. As Govt debt falls, the market falls. The R correlation is like 94. Govt debt is now rising again. It happened in '33, in the '50s, and in the '80s. Maybe the "new deal" is Bush ordering his departments to "buy" all new technology. I noticed that Dell stated their "Govt' and school" sales are up considerably relative to both units and revenue YOY. Bush can't recommend buying stocks, but he can order his departments to "buy goods".

Right On!---My consistent bias against funds and MER and against the past 40 years of the encapulation of client assets in poorly performing funds was vindicated this AM by CNBC and the events of the past 4 months-some good has come out of this-the cleansing will never happen until you move the heart and soul of WS out of NY.Perhaps to Kansas.Sandy Weill et al may well be going to prison when it all comes out!Market lower.
