KG$: You can run the downside, I'll push to the upside Bears had a good week, made a little bigger progress than usual, caused a mini-panic in the home builders and leveraged companies by discussing a possible increase in costs of Capital. They now have many of their shorts covered and set to go thru Friday optioins at about last Fridays level Should get a wiggle when Greenspan talks, and then says he does not see any need to increase rates which will remove some fear. Dell should go through options above 30, most likely $32.5 or even a less-possible $35 Chinese stocks were hit real hard by an analyst discussing his own bad opinion of the SOHU earnings report, then recovered well when Sohu responded. . Am expecting markets to trend very slowly up on a week to week basis, but it looks like a long stay below the 1750 level unless we catch Saddam, or OBL, or the UN helps out in Iraq. Geacf will have to pay perhaps $4 mm on a lawsuit, for which $2 mm was already set aside since its an old claim on previous company. Do not know if they have insurance to cover the rest but its seems like small potatoes if it turns out the $4mm is correct. If it represents a loss , they would get up to $2mm tax credits. Regards Sig We had 109 degrees two days ago near Ft Worth , new record for the date. Building of homes, duplexes, shopping malls, stores,restaurants, in this area never slowed down in last few years. Has increased if anything. HD very friendly, about 7 workers asked if they could help me find something in those aisles today

The modem's working great. I get around on the Web a lot faster. Downloads are still slow. I think we have the same copper phone lines in this neighborhood that were here in the 1950s. But with this, and a Compaq "Performance Upgrade" disk I managed to find, the multimedia stuff should work a lot better, at least a lot less clunky. I'm just not on the Web enough to justify a cable modem or, better yet, wireless broadband. I spend about a hour a day here and there, usually after I get home from work. I sit in front of a PC all day at work (eye strain), and I just don't want to sit in front of a box while I'm home, too. PB
