Thanks,Bobby. Hoping George will post and tell us what he really meant. <g> In line with your comment about ABX, I've always felt the buyouts would come when the bottom was near, and then kinda all at once. There's a rumor that Glamis may be taking out Mar West (#reply-5502535). MSR stock was halted on Friday, maybe the start? And FWIW, my view on Monday is that Bill has "inside" info that the stain was inconclusive. He'll say that everything he'd said before was the absolute truth, Monica is a badly delusionary young lady, but he respects her and feels her pain and down the road we go...

Japanese Stocks Fall, Led by Exporters on Wall Street Woes Japanese Stocks Fall, Led by Exporters on Wall Street Woes Tokyo, Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's benchmark stock index fell below 15,000 for the first time since June 26, led by exporters such as Sony Corp., amid deepening gloom over signs Asia's economic slump is dragging down the rest of the world. ''Asia looks to be throwing a wrench in the U.S. growth machine,'' said Kunihiro Hatae, a manager at Tokyo Securities Co.'s equity department. ''Until we get some kind of reassurance from Wall Street, the blue chip exporters are going to remain vulnerable.'' The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index fell 186.02 points, or 1.23 percent, to 14,937.91. That's its 10th decline in 11 sessions. The broader Topix index of all issues on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange dropped 7.71 points, or 0.66 percent, to 1161.09. Sony fell 100 yen to 11,400, Fuji Photo Film Co. sank 50 yen to 4,920, and Honda Motor Co. dropped 30 yen to 4,810 after U.S. stocks ended trading last week at their lowest since Feb. 24, sharpening concerns the world's largest economy isn't immune to Asia's ills. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.4 percent Friday, finishing the week down 2 percent, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.7 percent. Banks fell after Fitch IBCA said Friday it cut the debt ratings of six Japanese banks including Mitsubishi Trust & Banking Corp. and Sumitomo Trust & Banking Co. The ratings agency cited the impact of the weakening economy on the lenders' financial condition. Mitsubishi Trust slipped 7 yen to 801. Sumitomo Trust slipped 14 yen to 430. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd. dropped 11 yen to 1,145. Nikkei 225 futures contracts for September delivery fell 130 yen in Osaka to 14,920.

Bobby on Israel issue there will never be a time in the Middle East never where piece will take hold no matter what Israel or Arabs do (no there will be "piece" in Yougoslavia and some parts of Africa) On Cohen issue, clearly AJC does not need a defence and her record up to now speaks for itself....More so she is clearly entitled to her views even if wrong... 'What's happening in Russia is important for Russia,'' Cohen said in an interview Friday. ''But regarding all of the former Soviet Union combined -- that whole area takes in less than 1 percent of U.S. exports. The order of magnitude of trade to Russia is statistically so small that it doesn't mater to the U.S.'' bloomberg.com The issue is to suggest that Russia has no bearing on USA market at a time when Coup in Russia can take place any time is strange....Now she could be correct or wrong on 9300 that is not a point but to suggest that? Of course it is an article and could have been taken out of context...beyond that IMO such statement it is not credible,,,
