Roger and all, <Off topic> If any of you are half as frustrated as I am waiting for web pages to load, the following link may shed some light on why. Here's a link to CNET's 56K modem tests they ran. They tested just about every modem made (X2 and Kflex), and posted the results. You may want to go check out how your modem fared. Now if they would just tell me who the fasted ISP is!!!!!! Here's the link: computers.com

Roger, Actually, there is one sector that is apparently immune to the bull.The OSX and drillers were shorted into oblivion(PEs of as low as 6 and up to 17 with average for 98 PE right now about 10-12).The sector has the strongest earnings across the board of any sector but can't fight the mis-perception that lower oil effects earnings.Problem is for shorts, there is apparently little downside left.All the money was made is N0v-Jan.It simply amazes me to see worthless companies skyrocket with negative earnings qtr. after qtr. Apparently the "Greater Fool" theory had validity. Dave
