>Yeah, right! Damned if he did, damned if he didn't.<

You're absolutely right. That's the whole point. And it was he who put himself in that position. At a time when I would love to rally behind the president of my nation, I find it difficult to do so because he has lost my trust. And it was his to lose. Whether he can regain some of it by today's action remains to be seen. I hope so. I'll give him a chance because this is a time when Americans should stand together.

I'm venturing a guess that if the selling doesn't abate this afternoon, there could be a huge drop waiting Monday. Clinton may be close to resigning. 35% decline wouldn't hurt anyone. We all know that going into the next century things are brighter. Let's get the pain over with. My viewpoint of long term bearish continues, however after YK2, disastrous meteor showers, and a healthy dose of 2000 apprehension, I see 16 years of Bush administration and a very welcome mini Pax Romana American style and that 20,000 Dow is not impossible. --Al

>As I said before, what this country really seems to be in need of is a 35% stock-market decline. That should put an end to most of the barking and make people take their lives seriously, for a change.<

If we did have such a decline, so would Clinton's phony poll ratings and the public would finally be willing to do what they should have done about five years ago!
