Dear Kenneth E. Phillipps the market is cruel and sadistic. The Market is saying, "Kenneth E. Phillipps we will build up your hopes and string you along and then kick you in the ......... on Nov 2."

Morgan, oil slam down market
Investors try to get a grip on a big earnings miss from Morgan Stanley. Oil doesn’t help, moving above $48 per barrel. Where is the yield curve heading?

Morgan Stanley (MWD, news, msgs) and oil prices hit the stock market with a one-two punch this morning. Stocks dropped sharply after a rare broker-dealers earnings miscue and crude futures gushed higher after a larger-than-anticipated fall in inventories. See why:

BUSH ATTACKS KERRY WHILE COZYING UP TO DICTATORS

President Bush earlier this week attacked his opponent, saying "It's hard to imagine a candidate running for President prefers the stability of a dictatorship to the hope and security of democracy."[1] Yet, it is President Bush who regularly declares his personal friendship and gratitude to some of the world's most oppressive dictators, often wining and dining them at his
ranch in Texas.

In June of 2004, Bush referred to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as "my friend,"[2] even though the Saudi Arabian government has been investigated for its financial ties to the 9/11 terrorists[3] and is listed by the U.S. State Department as one of the world's most oppressive regimes on the planet.[4]

In April, he referred to the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as "my friend" and welcomed him to the Crawford ranch by saying "I always look forward to visiting with him."[5] Bush gave this praise to a dictator, even though Human Rights Watch notes that government "torture in Egypt is widespread and systemic"[6] and the State Department says Mubarak has passed a Constitution in which the electorate is barred from being "presented with a choice among competing presidential candidates."[7]

In 2002, it was Bush who said "I want to welcome the President of China to our ranch, and to Texas."[8] Bush was inviting into his home a dictator who, according to the U.S. State Department, presides over a government that regularly engages in the "arbitrary or unlawful" murder of its own citizens, kidnappings of political dissidents, and repression of religious minorities.[9]
