Did you see the interesting note in Barron's about the spread between regularly traded and rarely traded (out of date?) T-Bonds of the same maturity, and how it has widened considerably. Greenspan noted this as a sign of the tremendous desire for liquidity. Tom

>>even though I've been a fat cat, a good ol'boy and attended an Ivy League grad school, while I've rarely done a day's work and have never been underprivileged. Hmmmm<< Hmmm, indeed. :-)

Mike, Lam Research is expecting next Qtr revenue to be close to 75% down from 1996 peak. The semi equipment total revenue is 33% of what it used to be. Now, AMAT is the average, for better or worse. Why is it trading at peak 1995 levels??? Actually, on price alone it's even much worse than NVLS. On a different note. My 40 something former American co-worker is still unemployed. He is already closing on 4th months. So are tens of thousands other engineers from LRCX, AMAT, CRUS, LSI, ADPT, INTEL, Syquest, IOM, PAC-BELL and more. Actually, my daily commute from Fremont to Santa Clara got somewhat better. -g- We know that it's going to get much worse. Now, do we really need more foreign engineers considering this??? Amir

MB: I have to disagree with you about the R's and D's serving different constituencies...IMO, they both serve the same power structure, the "differences" are only window dressing. And while I'm not yet ready to identify with Eliot's line, "why should I mourn the passing of the usual reign", I've I've never worked for the minimum wage, either. I'd be more comfortable with the R's if they gave some hint that they understood the word conservative had a relationship to the word conservation, and that true, lasting, prosperity depended on it extending to all who wish to participate. Best, Merritt (getting off the soapbox now <G>)
