Wow, where in the hell did you get that nonsense? DOW down 1250 points?? Geesh! Chicken Little syndrome here folks. Run, hide, the sky is falling! The sky is falling. Let's spread panic in the streets. It's going to be bloody on the street very bloody. The DOW will drop 5 million points and we will be lucky to sell Yahoo! for 25 cents a share! The stock market is crashing, the Christmas season is shot to hell. And on and on. Enough of that silly garbage talk! I am predicting a dip of 2-4% this week. Most of that dip may not come until Thursday or Friday. Thursday is when the House votes. So far there are 206 yes and 22 undeceided votes. House needs 218 votes to confirm impeachment. Furthermore, there are things on the horizon yet to come. Namely, Greenspan on the 22nd may cut rates again. He will cut them if our market and other world markets are not fairing so well. Most important though is the realization that even if Clinton gets impeached (and I think he will), he will not be forced from office. Why? Because there needs to be 2/3 of the 100 votes to throw him out. Voting across strict party lines prevents a 2/3 voting majority - it will not happen. Also, there are several big funds waiting to hop on many different stocks this month for the annual window dressing contest. By the way, the Nixon watergate problem didn't cause so much panic as you are suggesting. BTW/ most of your article talks about tech stocks. Then why are you talking about the DOW. The NASDAQ would be more appropriate. The NASDAQ low was set in the beginning of October, not August 31.
