NEWS!!! "PSYCHIC FRIENDS NETWORK FILES CHAPTER 11" <VVBG!> Now that we know the masses are beginning to use their own minds again, "some one close to you" feels serious problems will be getting a little better attention. I am pleased psychic friends is biting the dust, and take this as a very good "sign". "all seriousness aside!" Please answer true - false questions on my next post with elaborations if you choose. They are thought provoking to me! Perhaps to you as well. thanks! Dave

To All Readers: Please think about these True False questions. How do you folks feel about the markets in the East? My thoughts are that they will progress into more and more volatility, greater and greater swings. That right now is starting the quiet time between a couple of those swings. News created to distract us from the problems that are not going away will not be as necessary for the moment and so, will ebb off for now. When foreign markets show their violence again, our more local news will immediately respond with heavy but unrelated topics to distract us from the gravity of the truer situations. Do you feel this is true or false? Roth IRA is a ploy to keep investors additionally interested in the market, it's Unique "tax up front only offering" giving government what it wants which is taxes NOW, and the government remains unconcerned about no tax on the gains at time of withdrawal because they know the market is in for a long term down anyway, giving them time to change their policy. So it will be no loss to them. Do you feel this is true or false? Mutual funds have made a change, I believe the subject was they are now offering to sell Options on their funds which has not been done in the past. Much as an investor can derive income from offering options on his individual stocks, is the Mutual Fund sector quietly resolving that the market is entering a slow painful down, and since they are in the business to profit, that this is a tool they will HAVE to use to stay out of the red, by siphoning off the loss onto the shoulders of outside investors. I see no reason for Mutuals to compromise their possible gains through the action of offering Options except that they realize any such gains the option buyer would hope for will not occur. That, I can understand. Do you feel this is true or false? Thank you kindly. I will be very interested in reading any and all comments about these questions and if answering them caused changes in your opinion on any of these topics. Dave
