OFF TOPIC -- SORT OF

TED,

Someone just told me that on ABC news this morning, after several "experts" said the Asian crisis would not touch the US, he says something like, "you are all wrong. this will spread globally and it will end up affecting Social Security".

Since I did not see it, can't be sure it's accurate, but if so, perhaps the man with the cyanide pill in his mouth is not completely loony afterall. Could be a plot to reshift wealth because the world's money guys know that there is NO STOPPING a global meltdown in 2000 BECAUSE OF Y2K, and they will have no control at that point, so now would be the time to create a global stock market crash in order to end Social Security, widen the gap between rich and poor, bring in a guy to save the world, unite all countries, unite all religions, get rid of cash, ID everybody by fingerprints and Iris scanners for all buying and selling, end cash crimes, save the world, unite mandkind, bring about global peace and prosperity . . . I know I've heard all of this before . . . where was that . . . oh yeah, it's in that FICTIONAL book that makes everybody nervous . . . what's it called . . the Bible, I think.

I don't know about you all, but if this is the scenario, I could care less who gets my stock portfolio. I'll be watching from above. I personally would look on a global market meltdown and the rest of the above drama as a confirmation of what's to come. Being a bat fanatic, all I can say is . . . I've always wanted to fly . . . let the games begin. Monday, let's watch the market halt over and over as it falls 1000 points . . . same Tuesday . . . same Wednesday, etc. etc. After about a week of this, I think that panic that no one thinks exists anymore will start to show.

I remain,

SOROS

ps the above is all garbage. the market will drop in the am on Monday and then rally. then it's on to 8400+ by summer!
