Hi Bill; <OT> I'm still reading Lindbergh's Wartime Journals, one thing that really stands out as most astonishing is at how horrible the News Media was at the time. The big problem is how they manufactured news, and would do or print anything if they thought it would attract readers, there seems to an overwhelming amount of evidence, that they had very little in the way of scruples, and could invent entire events that never happened. The public was not informed, it was grossly miss informed. I always knew some of this existed, but I never dreamed it was of such magnitude. The more I get into it the more I see the entire news media as a bunch of scum bags. I don't care if It's CNBC, ABC or CBS they have to know this crap is going on, but they never take one another to task, it's like some sort of unwritten code not to call attention to the out and out lack of scruples, or to play it down if they do. ------------------------ On the lighter side, I managed to pick the okra before it went to seed, many of the pods are a bit tough, and I'll likely dry some of them out for shucking. The big ones have nice seeds in them you can use like dried peas. I shocked a lot of people ( including my wife ) by showing up at church today, and I was also shocked in that the preacher gave such a good and down to earth type sermon that I only dozed off once. I have a feeling this market is going to be very fickle this week, I see bulls going bearish, and bears going bullish, and the SI Bull/ Bear ratio sentiment pumping up and down, this ought to be an interesting week. I bet them that pulled out of small caps in the last two weeks are going to be kicking them selves in the butt. Jim
