re: Kirk - "HP trounces earnings estimates": Cool, eh? !!!! Too bad I don't follow the 4% rule and only had 25% in that stock! Funny, my newsletter had it as "buy in mid $60's" recently (where it traded many times) and now it is at $88 and looking to go higher! The scary part for me was leaving HWP last fall when it was low and knowing I had a lot of HWP stock, I still hit that buy button at $50 and said "specific stock risk be damned!" (those share, bought in an IRA, are long gone on the first trip to $80's, btw.) Even BETTER news today... BOWG has filed for a listing on the NASDAQ. This stock usually goes up strong for a few days following news. OF course, I would not suggest anyone buy a 'nut stock on a BrinkerBoard, but I do suggest watching for a few days to see if history repeats itself. Many on the site are hoping Mr Lane likes mustard and relish with his words re this stock. 8) suite101.com of course, the server just went down so I can't test the BOWG link.....8(

No surprise here. "NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The Federal Reserve opted today to leave interest rates alone but said it would consider raising them in the future, citing inflationary pressures. As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee left the federal funds rate at 4.75 percent. But it announced it was shifting its bias to tightening rates, from neutral. That means Chairman Alan Greenspan and company are considering raising interest rates in the future to keep inflation in check." cnnfn.com Best wishes, I2
