Hi Donald Re: << The rich and powerful control the world and we the people always foot the bill. I feel like the kings henchmen are constantly banging on my door asking for a few more sheep to feed the Royal Families.>> I know what you mean. Bernard Rosenberg accurately described Foreign Aid as taxing poor people in rich countries for the benefit of rich people in poor countries. Larry

Donald you will have a slow and prolonged (by may standarts,-- e.g. 1 month is relative long)downdrafting zig-zag market with many bear traps as the current we are into today. No CRASHES, only particular stock crashes such as the predicted on VLSI (several days ago). CA is a highly manipulated stock, see my comments on CA tread. IBM and GE kind of a mistery. IBM is "cheap" relative to other stocks which are all overvalued therefore the rise, How much can yoou push KO, MRK, PG etc.?? So why not try IBM and GE. Today markets is a trader market buy what is going up sell what is going down. Fundamental analysis is for Friday nights <gg> Hope you will recover, dangerous game out there and as far as option are concerned sell them DO NOT BUY THEM all the stacks are against you period Haim

Donald: I think the Govt/Fed/BOJ are not eager to intervene in the market. If at all, they would all have liked the US stock prices fall gradually so as to avoid a calamity of a sudden collapse. What has changed (and the government had to take actions that appear to be intervention) is the unanticipated deflation unleashed by acute global competition. A rational response to this is to relax monetary policy. Honestly, there is no intervention. Sure, if the BOJ/Fed were a bunch of fools, they would let the market get into panic with Japanese selling their US Treasuries. But, that would be disruption, inconsistent with the fundamentals (unanticipated deflation). Sankar
