The leader of the free world is facing impeachment. What in heaven's name do you mean by "why"? I was unaware of the influence of impeachment in consumption patterns, investment decisions, interest rates and the like. Are people going to say "gee, I thought a P/E of 20 for GM was a good deal, but now in the face of the impeachment, I'm not sure anymore" ? Get a grip! I simply can't help you... Perhaps if we were to try a lobotomy, I might come to agree with you :-)

I realize there's going to be volatility. What you seem to believe in that I just can't understand, however, is that Bill Clinton playing with Monica has some natural connection to the performance of Apple Computer Co.'s (or any other company's) stock. Does it affect its worth? Does it change a company's fundamentals? No and no. It's people like you, I guess, who think it's a matter worth getting weak-kneed over. So there's my "why." If you're a long term INVESTOR, an impeachment is not a reason in and of itself to sell (or buy, for that matter) stock. Clinton will have been out of office for years and years -- even if he doesn't get impeached -- before I plan on selling my AAPL. Good luck to you anyway. Watch out for black cats and #13. Mark
