"Oil up to 11.50" Does anyone else find this quote remarkable? A couple of years ago , they'd put you in the looney bin for keeps. HH

From today's fiendbear: <<It looks like the serious selling is going to begin right at the point when the Bulls were at the height of their bullishness. Get a load of this recent gem: "All indications bullish for stocks" Market commentary by Joe Battipaglia I have deduced that The United States economy is enjoying its greatest strength in its 200+ year history, in my opinion. While being the world's largest economy, it is also the fastest growing and most innovative economy that the world has ever witnessed. It is generating the much needed surplus capital that can be applied both domestically and internationally, thereby serving as an industrial juggernaut on a global basis. I believe that this trend will continue. The US economy is also leading the world as the primary manager of the "information age." This phenomenon is widely illustrated by the tremendous growth of computer software companies, online services, and the technology sector in general. The ability to utilize and leverage this technology in a strong economic environment creates the opportunity for an explosive expansion of commercial and entrepreneurial activity. This directly translates into increased standards of living and the creation of wealth. In fact, I believe that there has been more wealth created in the last ten years than in the previous thirty or forty combined. These factors help to create a scenario where the US economy can seemingly do no wrong. Ladies and Gentlemen I believe I have found my Irving "Permanent Plateau" award winner. I don't think the quote above will be topped even if I live as long as my grandmother did. I'll pick up on this in Friday's commentary and I'll also print a smart aleck e-mail I received and responded to last week. A new poll will have to wait until next week. >> Buying at 3pm today?
