Hello Barry. Thanks. We are nice and comfy again. Even with another power failure it was not enough to freeze us out. gg. Yes, I know of some of those ice storms further up North and we hear of long power failures all the time. Somehow it never really sinks in how bad it is. Now some people, who have fireplaces, actually found it almost exciting. I heard on the radio that one Lady cooked dinner in the fireplace in an aluminum pot put directly into the fire. Hm. Sounds like camping with just a bit more guts. gg. I grew up in Texas and could talk about lots of stuff handed down by relatives who settled over here shortly after 1640. Great stories but I am used to what we have now. gg. I can't believe how we ever did without the internet and how many people still don't use it. Alright. Back to stocks. Intel. I have not been on the main thread lately but you have read all that stuff there and I am sure you also heard what's being said about Intel by analysts etc. I am sure that Intel will be doing great. How great, near term, depends on the market I guess. And as long as analysts don't give Intel glowing praise we could be in for slower stock appreciation near term than we would like. But should the market go to 10.000 we may hit 200 sooner than we think. I hope. But I am confident that Intel will do great, one way or another, in the next cpl of years. It stalled for a while, it somehow always does, but it always gets going again and it looks like it's on its way again. Too bad the slowest qtr is coming up but Intel said there will be left overs from last qtr. if I got this right. Techs, telecoms, financials and Pharmas are the future. Now that options are over and Brazil looks a tad better we may hopefully get a nice surprise near term. But I am sure that volatility will be in. Sonny
