elwood,re:"high of the day". Please pre-warn next time.<gggg>. I think you still have at lease 2-3 days to rethink. Earnings (INTC, CPQ...) in general will beat or meet the 'street's beaten down estimates (still thinks estimates are games). Just like July, after the earnings is finished, here we go again, bad news RE-appear everywhere,eg: Fed didn't lower rate enought, Japan is not going to come out as fast as they thought (thought?, these guys don't think, they just made it up for a purpose), the mid-europe war which started to be a 3 months mission and now in the third year and the really BAD news, Lewinsky found another dress.

Elwood: one more bad news. "Flight to quality". Now that the world is fine, the smart money go to the 'world' since they were beaten down so badly. Afterall, we have to save the world to save us. So the money go to the world first and then come back. I know it is a little bit overwhelm for you to understand <GGGGG>, but I'm sure you'll get it. What I'm trying to tell you is that, everything is pre-planned. There is a conspiracy(secret circle) that the money goes around and around that circle and sucks everybody's money in... Hmm, this is getting too deep, even for myself. Well, enough said, be careful. I think you can make at least 2-3 bucks before the game is over.
