Jim, I'm very sorry you feel this way. If you were to look at the BIG PICTURE (no pun intended) you would realize what I am getting at. I do not believe there is any 'real' basis for the US markets reaction to HK problem, HK problem was a given, only a matter of time before it came apart. Therefore, what I am proposing is 'what other exterior forces' (if ANY, and I mean this) might be responsible for the amplification of this recent turn of events and, more importantly, how long might they play out? If you think what I propose is of no significance or that it is 'hysteria driven' I suggest you do some homework and look at the dealings of a company such as Seagrams over the past year, you would be VERY surprised. As for insinuating that I am polluting Ike's thread, I ask you this - what knowledge by 'lurking' have you brought here, questions or otherwise, in the past? Questions are for asking no matter how far fetched they may sound. This is after all a forum and I will not cease to ask.

Randy

Jim- Sometime when things are totally against what we stand for and thread is deserted it is in these moments of utter dejection that Randy stands like a beacon of strength making us feel that this not end of the world- Philosophy without trading slant becomes kind of unproductive- I think Jim that balance which Randy provides is like life blood to this thread.
