OT, NOTE: What brokerages tell their big $ clients vs. small clients could be totally different. MW

re: PS:I think what is going on in our market today is utter nonsense and really uncalled for reaction or over reaction. The market is based on the collective perception or participants. One must read the market to understand its direction. Market tops happen when there is a catalyst (the greenman), and event (Asia) if you will. Also, in and environment of wild speculation (the Internet stocks) and excessive splits (DELL if they do one (I do not think they will) would be an example). So I disagree with your above statement since I always believe the market reacts correctly and it never lies. Sure it goes too far in both direction, but over all it never lies.

Mohan: <<< Greg you are not serious?>>> I take Greg as very serious indeed, more so than our beloved William. Although I do not always agree with the price levels he quotes, one should think carefully when going against his expected direction on specific stocks. BTW in trying to buy puts this morning on 5 stocks, nearly every put opened 'up'at the price now quoted at the (so far) low point of the day for the stock. That is a tough game to play , feel I am am big disadvantage. Wonder if they will bring out that much heralded Web (Geocentric ??) IPO in this market environment Am not planning to get on that train, just want to watch what happens. Sig

Hi Mohan,..Re:<<Utter nonsense>> The Economeister says that the bond buying was from Asia and Japan. economeister.com US TSY MKT STEADY NEAR HIGHS; FOREIGN MARKET TURMOIL economeister.com TALK FROM THE TRENCHES: TREASURY SECURITIES OFF TO THE RACES Also, if anybody is trying to pick a bottom in the oil patch, like I tried to do, they may want to read the following. economeister.com UK ANALYSTS: OIL PRICES UNLIKELY TO RECOVER UNTIL Q4 1998 Finally, all those hoping for a rate cut can just pack it in for another quarter since productivity came in down. The most stressed part of AGs Humphrey Hawkins testimony was the tight labor market and wage pressures which Alan was trying to rationalize by productivity gains. Of course, if we adjust things like we did in engineering school, then we say 'well maybe our measurements were off' or 'maybe our fudge factor' is too conservative and then we look at the government productivity numbers and think it's just bad data?
