Kevin,

Seriously, my memory is lapsing, but there was some terrorist acts in England which was blamed/attributed to this JAPANESE terrorist, and they thought I was him.gggggggggggg. It wasnt funny at the time. Also, back in the 70's the middle east was not all that peaceful, with soldiers in the airport with machine guns

the market is now really showing weakness, just need to see if it continues, which I now think it will.

Seeya

>>Geez, next thing you know, Tom Trader will tell us he did time for auto theft!<<

ROFL

Well Kevin--auto-theft would not do me justice!! My story would have all of the others beat, for sure -- but I am not sure that it is one for public consumption. And it was not that long ago, that it happened!!

But to give you just a small clue -- it was the lead story on the national news on all the net-works.

Don's story was great--reminded me of my brother who apparently fits the profile of a terrorist and gets stopped regularly before he boards international flights --- and since he does a fair amount of international travel, it happens a lot. The first time that it happened, he was taken aback -- now he is quite matter of fact about it and just goes through the routine -- until the next time.

Re the market -- we came close to hitting my stop to reverse to the short side. A sell-off later today, will almost certainly cause me to be short the futures. I suspect that we have at least one more rally to go before we see a top. One indicator that I shall call the "Latif indicator" suggests a top is not too far off. Noticed that he is getting more and more cocky in his postings -- the last time we topped was not long after he said that the Dow 8000 level was the "steal of the century". He seems to be back to that -- so the top can't be too far off:)

Lisa -- CNBC is airing something about estate planning as I write this.
