<<(You were discussing dow theory I believe)>> Dow Theory does not involve Utility index ... Just DJIA and DJTA. Memory problem?

Turning bullish, Mr. Mythman? Watchout for this guy, he too is now "less of a bear". Here is his Idiotology. -g- <<By James J. Cramer Bob Rubin made me less of a bear last week. In our interview with the Treasury secretary, I found his cold-eyed view of the world less threatening and more practicable than I thought I would. Don't get me wrong -- Rubin's unhappy with the pace of the Japanese bank bailout. But it's not his job to be a cynic or a pessimist. The Treasury secretary of the world's most powerful nation doesn't get us anywhere by expressing panic and worry. But the Rubin I talked to reminded me of the Bob Rubin who stood in the middle of the cyclone that was the trading floor of Goldman Sachs and exuded a level of confidence that made you know that, somehow, this too would pass -- and pass favorably -- if you just kept your head. I remember going up to see Rubin, and, I swear, sometimes he would be lying down on his back in his office (he was always bothered by his back when I was at Goldman), and I would think, "Oh boy, he is incapacitated." But when I got in his office, he would always amaze me with his wit and perspicacity despite being floored by pain. >>
