Typical Tuesday - stocks down and another poorly thought out Doomberg API article due in the next few hours. Such a predictable pattern. I think I'll throw in my loose cash this morning and sell tomorrow at a tidy profit.

"Doomberg" earns their well deserved reputation...

Bloomberg gets nailed by Chevron for ''severely misquoting'' their spokesman.... well if Clinton needs to recruit any spindoctors - he knows where to look...

Chevron Corrects Erroneous Bloomberg Story

<<A Chevron spokesman was severely misquoted today in a Bloomberg wire story headlined, ''Internet Campaign Urges U.S. Boycott to Protest Gasoline Prices.''

Chevron wishes to set the record straight, since Bloomberg has declined a request to correct its egregious error.

In the Bloomberg story about the recent run-up in gasoline prices, the Chevron spokesman was quoted as follows, ''If motorists don't want to pay higher prices, they shouldn't drive.''

Our spokesman never made that statement, nor did he say anything remotely like it.

The Bloomberg reporter apparently misunderstood an attempt to explain the marketplace factors which affect pricing, and, to the best of our knowledge, tried to reduce our spokesman's explanation to a short-hand quote, but failed completely. >>

Regarding your statement, "You can't negotiate with someone who only cares about his hold on power....The man's a nut case," I have a question.

To whom were you referring? US President Bill Clinton or Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic? <ggg NOT>

JimL., Slob' may be a nutcase- but do you remember the pro-democracy demonstrations in Belgrade in 1996? Massive demonstrations to oust Slob' and bring democracy to Yugoslavia. Not only did the US stand idly by but we issued statements in support of Milosevich's Government.

Also there was no push of Albanians from Kosovo- until the NATO bombing started. The NATO bombing triggered the exodus- it hardly prevented it...For NATO to claim that it now needs to keep bombing in order to prevent a massive refugee flow that NATO itself started, sounds just like Adolf Hitler's claims that "Polish provocations" on the Polish-German Border required Germany to attack Poland in September 1939....Buy oil stocks here I believe on any pullback....

Well guys/gals 1,0000 warplanes is massive armada- maybe a play in jet fuel futures here?
