re: I think it is about where any reasonable person would expect it to be at this point. You are in disagreement with Rummy, Wolfie and the rest who have said that they are totally surprised by what has happened in Iraq, that they never anticipated this. But I suppose your "reasonable person" qualifier makes your statement technically correct. You can't imagine how different his comments are now from a year ago. Right after shock and awe, I suggested that there were some military experts who were concerned with the troop levels in Iraq and warned that street to street fighting was very possible. The idiot posted back.....how dare I question the intelligence and professionalism of experts like ole Rummie. And now one year later, with street to street fighting the norm and troop levels needing to be increased, he has the cojoñes to say that the current Iraq is the best anyone can expect at this stage of the game. Well it wasn't what he and Rummie expected last May, 2003. His level of dishonesty is a vision to behold. ted

Some more evidence of a slowdown.......starting to sell my tech stocks. ************************************************** A Stockpicker's Market Once Again By Cody Willard Special to RealMoney.com 7/1/2004 9:52 AM EDT Wow, a bunch of small -- and not-so-small -- companies are guiding lower, and they're in all kinds of industries. That's not what the bulls want to see. The recent parade includes Amkor, iPass and Emulex. Merix is not a good one to see either, and although that company has simply not been executing, I'm hearing that some of the biggest highflying equipment vendors pushed out some orders. With Lexar leading the way yesterday, these stocks are not reacting kindly to these nasty announcements. Most are getting crushed for double-digit percentages -- even as most were near 52-week lows anyway. On the brighter side of things, Research In Motion saw the exact opposite action. The stock was near its 52-week high when the company blew away numbers and guided higher. Even though both were widely expected, the stock flew to new highs. Conclusion? Roll up your sleeves and get ready to do more homework because hard work will be the only way to win in this market. Can you say stockpicker's market? The market sure can.**
