Roger - I think we are about due, let's call that way overdue for a correction. A Korean Lady who worked for me and retired can't find a job for a Bi-lingual Korean in NYC. She was a purchasing manager for a US firm owned by Koreans that purchased goods and here and exported then to Korea. They all sat around for 3 weeks with no work. They closed 2 weeks ago and have no idea when they will re-open. It is happening to many immigrants. Deflation indicator is high. The MM's on the little stocks are playing tag and trying to drum up support. I have a big short in EGGhead.com. I asked people to visit their site. Shorts and longs didn't even review EGGS websites before taking a position. Scary! Go Roger Go! :) BellBoy
