This rally is destroying what I thought was going to happen. I've been just certain that the pops and drops would resolve things to the downside. When the market was about 13,400 every fiber of my being felt that we'd see at least a correction to 12,250 between mid July and late September. In no way did I think we'd bust 14k this month and now it looks like we could. I just can't believe we're not seeing a distribution rally as institutions unload their inventory to the public.

>4 weeks a year is pretty good for a non union type job. Thats was after 15 years at the time. I was grandfathered in for that. I now have 20 years in. You now need 20 years for 4 week. 4 week is max now unless you were grandfathered in under the old policy. >What do you do? Pressman, 40" Heidelberg offset printing presses. When I was at American Can. I was union. At Burroughs they got rid of the union before I worked there. The Union was overwhelmingly voted down at our company. There was no real benefit to joining. They keep trying. Some previous union members at our company were burned in the past by the union. We have been rated in the printing industries trade papers as one of the best printing places to work for. We are privately held, family owned. Many years ago I came up with a quarterly cash payout idea that was modified to the company's standards, and still in use today. Quarterly cash payout when profits reach above a certain limit. It's been fairly consistent over the last five years.
