How are you figuring? I haven't read Clinton's name in a single financial story all the past week. His name last appeared on thestreet.com on Nov 13. Are you saying the overextension of the Internet had nothing to do with today? Were collapsing oil prices not a factor? Drop impeachment = 10,000++ Vote impeachment = 8,000-- For the sake of those of us keeping score, does "drop impeachment" require never taking a vote on it (as is being pressed for based on the polls, nuts to what the Constitution says), or will the market forgive, IYO, if impeachment comes to a vote but fails?

Roger, nobody cares about impeachment. The market sold off when the pro's saw the nonsensical irrational buying of internet stocks at the open . The buying gaps were so bad this morning, we may have a top, The morning in early October when people threw stocks out the window without thinking became a bottom . we'll see .

Roger, I frankly do not think impeachment will mean anything real ... imagined, yes, but real ... no. If this jackass left office, I would heave a sigh of relief. I think he has done us a heap of harm all around the world and if this country had the guts to toss him out I think it would be one great big positive message to planet earth. A lot of people have pointed to the market drop after Nixon left office, but they forget, Nixon gave us wage price controls and that tied the economy in one hellish knot and it was bound to crash with or without his impeachment. As I see it, the reason Congress is loath to impeach is that there are so many liars in the place they feel comfortable with this president.

Hmm, no drop till now, but the market strengthened somehow? Had much work with bfly today. Nice that the warrants are shortable too. If one told me months ago that I sell PVTR (BFLY) warrants at 18, I would've thought he's kidding. What will happen if I'm short warrants and they are called? Must I deliver stock then, and get $5. Or the long people hand in the warrants at the company's stock custodian who finds out that there are presented simply too much warrants? Or, some warrants just remain unexercised. Now I got 18 and the 5 makes 23. At 23, stock should be easy to buy.. C.
